2005 Yamaha rs Rage

[Sno-Bandit Gary]

I am looking at a 2005 Yamaha Rage. Can anyone give some info on what to look at on them. Any issues I should be aware of? I have previuosly owned Polaris. Not that familiar with Yamaha, only test rode one once. I was looking for something with a good ride as I had back surgery a few years ago. I wanted to go with a 136" track to help with the stutter bumps. Any input would be helpful

120 hp 4s Vector Rage nice sit down trail cruiser no real changes until 2007 went to rider forward apex platform but engine stayed the same until 2010 went to EFI 125hp. Gas & go sled. Change oil & filter, hyfax, carbides grease & should be snow ready. 05 does not have RA for rear suspension more traditional block adjustments as I remember but still cushy ride. Good hand warmers on 05s. 06 Rage with RA may be better more control of ride adjustments.
