I have had the bike since late '02 and have never had to touch the engine, and it works better than any 350 fourtrax i've seen stock.
when you first break in a bike, if you dont go past half throttle, then it is going to start wearing the cylinder only so far, when you really come on to it, it'll make it work harder and the bike will be worked in to your style of riding.
if your gonna take it easy on the bike forever, then keep er easy. if you plan to burn the piss out of it, then do so asap.
I call BS cuz if you took the pipe off and left it jetted it would run like crap or at least foul plugs
