Default New Rancher ES Questions

OK just picking up my new ES this weekend and a couple questions...

Break in period???

any after market options you all suggest?

Sure Id love to AT GPScape but just cant spend the extra 2 g. Where I ride Id rarely use the 4wd if ever.

Any suggestions?

This is the first ATV I will own myself. Have quite a bit of experience with some OLD Suzuki Quads but really want the ES. I just cant find any better options for about 4G out there than the Rancher ES but am open to suggestions.

Break in--- NOt sure I bought mine used but, I think 5 hours or 100 miles? I'm sure I'm wrong.

After market stuff-- Maxxis Mud Bug Tires 26x11x12 fronts 27x12x12 rears you might need to buy 12" rimes for the rear...50 bucks a peice if you get stock Honda ones.
Warn winch/fairleads/mounting kit. (cycle country fairleads on mine)
Highlifter 2" lift.

Thats what I did to mine.

When I got my Rancher the Dealer said to ride it for about 30 hours or so and bring it back for the first service. This way the warranty stays valid. I am not sure what your Dealer will require but I would ask them.
