If you take care of it you will not have eny troble you can take my word on that. Just keep the vaves adjusted and thoil changed and the air filter clean and the chain tight you will not have eny trobles.
P.S. Ride Red and Ride Hard

you should check the barrings in the swing arm.. those tend to go in quads that old.. just take the grab bar and move it back and forth.. there shouldn't be any play when you do this, if there is, it probably needs new barrings. also check the frame for cracks, dents and any extra welds. if you know anything about motors, start up the engine and listen for any knocks or funny sounds. good luck!
