just as reliable as the scrambler. does need a set of pipes and k@N's just wouldnt go big bore or u loose reliability and they become a ride 2 days fix 3 weeks kinda deal. ive watched guys come out with 585, 6mills etc. ride twice and throw a rod or like the dude a month ago just got his shee all together and spun the main bearing at top end

Do you have to jet it differently for the pipes?

yeah you have to rejet for pipes and a K&N.... do them both at the same time so you only have to rejet once, or you may end up rejetting twice to get it spot on if you do them one at a time.

The further away from stock you get, the more reliability you lose. Keep it bone stock and maintain it and treat it properly, and it will last for many years.
