Hey, Ryan welcome to the forum.I'm sure your enjoying your 300ex and by the way your right it is faster than the Polaris trail blazer and much more comfortable to.I myself own a 01-250ex,06-400ex & a 08-YFZ450 and I have a lot fun with all of them especially 250ex I go trail riding & I also ride it at the track it's a little heavy to jump with but I love throwing it around.Can't wait to see your pics;) .

its mostly stock performance wise

Loose valve is nothing I'm sure you'll get it fixed cause that's just minor.It looks really nice for a used quad.Are you going to get the seat fixed? Cuz quad tech & N style has seat covers for your quad if your interested:confused: .I changed the seat cover on my 250ex from red to black because it was old & I also got tired of the red but I got mine from (Quad Tech).Good luck! with your 300ex and take good care of it and it will take care of you ;) !

yeah im getting the seat replaced once i get it fixed..its hard to believe the quad is 8 years old lol it has no rust at all....i was told it was garage kept all its life...it even keeps up with my uncle's neighbors sportsman 700 till about 45mph...

The seat is the most important part of your ride and that's where your rump will be spending most of it's time on :D , Lol.Your 300ex is pretty well kept and looks excellent compared to some of the 250ex & 300ex's I've seen on the trail when I go riding.If you want to keep it running & looking good do what I do wash it & dry it almost every time you ride and keep up to date with the maintenance as far as checking the oil,cleaning the air filter,putting your gas treatment, and so on.My 250ex is 9yrs. old and it's as clean as when I bought it, no rust,no cracks & no damage and every time I start her up she never lets me down.The body is scuffed up because she's 9yrs. old but that's as far as it goes (just scratches).I just bought a new back fender for it which my friend is gonna cut & customize for me because the fenders are to fat also to rounded just to give it a different look.

Welcome to the forum. That is in pretty good shape compared to most.

lol, yeah ill get if fixed soon, this is the nicest 300ex ive seen around here, but i see really good looking 400ex's to.. do you think it will be stupid to put red neons on it? i dont do that much trail riding where theres alot of water...

[yfzgirl]

I think there's nothing wrong with that.They make them weather proof now so I think you'll be all right.I just bought a neon flag whip for my son's quad it pretty cool to and very bright.
