In my opinion, this is the best quad ever made. As long as you change the oil, they will last 20-30 years or more. You can easily sell this for $1500 today or a year from now.

Guys I have said this to everyone I know, the 250 recon is the best 1 person atv out there, specially if they was 4x4 . I live in WV and we have hills and mountains and they will haul just fine on rides. They may not pull other atvs well or haul a lot of luggage/tools/cooler but they are great single person bikes for the trails. I’ve rode mine since I was 12 and I still have it today and it runs fine and I’m 33 and we bought it in 2003 it was a 2000 model. just in case you think I don’t know much about what I’m talking about, I’m a licensed can-am mechanic and I’ve got racing/utility bikes alike from 700r raptor/ 250 recon/ 350 warrior/ and had loads more and rode since I was able to walk.. my life has always revolved around riding atv’s/ dirtbikes.

SE-335 is nice because it comes with the 9mm thick stainless grates and a handle light in black enamel. It is cheaper than ordering the 9mm stainless separately. Only a $75 upgrade for the SE (special edition).

It's still going strong 19 years later and does everything I need it to do. I got it in west GA and use it in both GA and AL every year. I just took it to one of my hunting tracts where I drove from there to a WMA and back for an eleven mile trip just to check it out after some standard maintenance. I think you got a good deal for a project and a good tool.

No worries; I’m happy to try and help! If you’re just replacing top hose, you’ll only lose about a quart of fluid and won’t need to bleed the system, just top it off. If you’re doing preventative maintenance/replacing radiator/all hoses, you will need to bleed system after refill of coolant. It’s easy though via the bleeder valve.

Hey Luke I need help. The hose that connects to the radiator is absolutely sealed onto the radiator. The pin came out easy but it is absolutely stuck. I tried to be as gentle as possible, tried prying it with screwdrivers etc, did not work. Moved my way to a wrench which I knew was plastic but ended up breaking off altogether with the hose clip of the radiator. The problem is the hose is STILL stuck to that part even though it came out with the hose. Do you have any tips or at home products so I can get it back off?? I'm planning to put the radiator lock back with an adhesive if that works.
@lifeofluke8620

I would spray white grease/oil/Wd40 in the plastic where the hose connects and let it sit. Then I would carefully try and tap it off using a flat head screwdriver and hammer. If this does not work, I would carefully cut it off which a small cutoff wheel/dremmel. Hope this helps. Sorry you’re having to go through that. There is a slight possibility yours got so hot that it’s melted on somehow. If this is the case, you may need a radiator, but they are easy to put in.

Especially being a radiator hose and im pretty sure the bottom one is for your heater which is even more sensitive.
