All quads are money pits...even the best of the best.

I have a 2000 and 2001 400ex still running strong. Each has had the timing chain replaced and a simple valve job. All-in-all, about as inexpensive as you could expect to get...maybe a Warrior would be as reliable and as cheap to keep running.

Bikes have such simplicity to them which is why I kick myself sometimes for switching to quads. Just compare the added front end complexity of a quad to a bike:

4 a-arms with a minimum of 8 bearings and 4 balljoints.

An extra brake rotor and set of brake pads.

Added set of wheel bearings

4 tie-rod ends and 1 tie-rods to bend.

upper and lower shock bearings

extra front tire and rim.
