This is where the mud and sand like to hide. It is also very noticeable to the trained shopper or an ace mechanic. Gently hose the radiator out from the back side if possible. Everything comes in from the front so it might be easier to force it out that way. Be careful not to bend the radiator cooling fins and also remember that they are thin and sharp on the skin! Remove the dirt to remove the doubts! Also, be sure the radiator fluid is full in case the inspection becomes intense.

Great story. I just considered buying an additional used quad, but bought new instead. I would add: if there are any parts of your bike you don't think are up to snuff, have them identified by competent dealer, and if you don't get them fixed, immediately point them out to the prospective buyer. I looked at a used Rincon that didn't shift right. Owner knew it, but didnt know what the problem was and I wasn't going to find out after I purchased it. If the prospective buyer wants to have a dealer/repair facility give it the once over, oblige them. Refusing will make the buyer think you have something to hide. Bottom Line Up Front: Be truthful in everything related to your sale.
