Get the Used Powersports Vehicle's History

When you have found a used powersports vehicle that you are interested in, be sure to ask for copies of all the documents pertaining to the model’s history, including past maintenance records. See whether the previous owner stayed up-to-date with maintenance or whether they slacked off (which could result in more repairs for you down the road). Repeat maintenance issues are a red flag since they are likely to crop up again.

You will also want to see if the vehicle has endured any past accidents. There could be damage to the model that wasn't addressed, which will lead to expensive repairs for you down the road.

Be sure to ask plenty of questions as well. How long was the model owned? What kind of terrain did it frequent? Why did the owner decide to sell? What is the vehicle's PIN (so you can do your own research)? The more you know about its past, the better you can predict its future.
 

Go On a Test Drive

If the vehicle has a favorable history, the next step is to take it for a test drive. Here you are looking for two things. First, does the model run well? Make sure it starts up without issue and handles without issue. 

Second, does the model run well for you, specifically? It's important to get a model that suits your unique needs and wants. Avoid getting a model that is too powerful for your current experience level. You also want to be sure the ergonomics work well for your body. If you are too short, you'll be straining uncomfortably to reach the controls. If you are too tall, you'll be cramped trying to make it work. Make sure the model fits you well so that you can enjoy hours of trail riding!
