You will love the c-dale. There is no other quad that compares. After the first few times the maintenance is not really that bad. The maintenance is about the same as any other quad, just a little more often. There is not much you can bolt on right now, but there are new things coming out all of the time. Just get a good pipe and a remap and you will be good to go.

Break-in is key.. Do what the manual says and you will eliminate 99% of most headaches..

make sure you keep the battery up. and follow the recomended starting proceedure, so you do not flood the engine. and most of all enjoy it!!!

Oh and 1 other thing the break in schuedal is the same on the 02's as the 03's??? i would think because it is the same engine but i want to know for sure...

Heat cycles is key. Start your quad and blip the throttle easily for ten minutes. Let the motor cool down completely. Repeat two more times. Then do a couple of short 10 minute rides. Go do a 45 minute ride and drain the break in oil. Ride at 75% for another hour next. Next time out hammer it.. The key is the piston expanding and contracting by heating up and cooling down. No matter if you ride the quad or not the engine needs to cool off 100%. Once it is settled in your good forever.. This is break in. Change the oil after your 45 minute run.
