    I change the oil every 4 to 5 months and wash after every ride in mud.I beat the crap out of mine too, its held up very well.

    If you could, have your friend ride his or you ride it for a while then let idle while you listen really closely to the engine and see if you hear any knocking noise.

    what year is his?

    my girlfriend has one and it's sputtering at high RPM's. i guess it's a jetting issue and I really don't have the time to get into it. anyone have this issue before?

    Also, anyone have a repair manual via pdf?
