Sure is fun to ride when it works though!
IMO, and I follow this rule, if you buy it, learn about it and how it works.
The problem nowadays with new equipment is the complexity of it, but in reality the major change has been electronics which in itself is a whole can of worms, everything else has just been upgraded, improved and has still maintained the original design one way or another.
For a person to wrench, or maintain their own equipment(doesn't matter what it is) they need a proper service manual and, in most cases guidance. Someone to edge them along, offer advice and show them the points goes along way and can lessen than the cost if a different means of repair is needed. Also, having knowledge of your machine gives you an advantage when you look at the bill and enables you to quiz the repair facility about work done if you have to take it in,.. you will be surprised how many people just sign and go without even knowing what was done,.. they are just glad it was fixed.
Another bonus to this is a sense of security while out enjoy a ride,.. for example if something goes wrong with an engine it can only be 3 things, fuel, spark or air.
So help educate someone, one day you might need them
..Ignorance is when someone walks into the dealer gets there sled fixed when they don't even know the problem! I have no problem askin for help but I'm sick of payin 4 it! AS for motors this isn't my frist sled and I know how long a motor should last. I always look for wear and tear like u would when u work on anything I dont need a manual to tell me that thanx I also use diagrams on the parts sites that i'll call the manual for now.
