Hey guys, I'm new to 4 wheels, but I've always been a trail boss on dirtbikes. Recently, I purchased a 2016 Outlander L Xmr 570. I have only rode it twice, both were light trail rides. I had noticed a slight wobble, on the front right wheel. I was told upon purchasing that the previous owner had ridden a lot on pavement because the tread was worn in an odd fashion. I took their word for it as they do routine inspections of all inventory before listing them for sale and figured the wobble was due to the knobby treads. Upon further evaluation, I noticed a few things were not symmetrical from right to left. First, the front right shock caught my eye, and then I noticed certain plastics have the rivet fasteners missing and that the plastics don't seem to align with their anchor points on the brackets. The plastic skid plate attached to the frame seemed wacky, but I assumed it was debris (rocks, sticks, mud, etc,.) that was wedged up between it and the framework...but then I noticed a 2" x 4" sticker on the frame that reads "VOID" all over it. Now I'm worried I bought a quad with a bent frame!! I thought this wobble could be an easy a-arm fix, but I don't see any damaged hardware whatsoever. Things just seem "out of line" in a sense. Does anyone know of any similar issues or have any advice? Again, I'm new to 4 wheels and have never worked on one...but I have grown up turning wrenches on bikes my whole life.

I recently purchased a 2018 Sportsman 450HO, I have less than 7 hours on it. I pulled it out last night and heard a slight knock at idle that i have never heard. I decided to check the oil and the dipstick was reading to add oil. Question is why would it be low so soon and will that knock go away after adding oil?

Thanks.
