just wondering if there are any maintenance tips or what to watch for in this specific model, other than the rear end that I have read about checking.

 

Should be exactly the same as a raptor 80. They are pretty indestrctable. Change the oil once in a while. Carbs are a little on the touchy side. They can get hard to start if you don't have it adjusted correctly. They seem to foul plugs left and right.
