trying to buy new or used?

If its used, getting service records always helps. I dont know of any major tsb’s offhand, but I’ve had problems with chain slap were the one guide wears out. Just make sure every nook and crany is sound and you’ll be fine.

ap1 is not going to go anywhere in the snow and will blow whenever it is cold at all too, ap1s dont have traction control either. I’ve read the chain tensioners wearing out alot and causing the chain slap. Premium gas is $3.30+/gal and insurance is going to blow
