Cannondaleriders

The loud noise coming from the engine...is this normal ?

i will have a cannondale within the next week when its ships...but as of now I don't...im just trying to learn and figure out what things may need to be addressed and fixed. Thanks

can anyone explain how I would go about re-routing the hose ?

how much water can it take ?

what connections should be filled ?

Is there any problems with riding through puddles or shallow streams once in a while when you have to? Since the battery is mounted so low will it affect anything? any electrical problems ?

thanks

i know all the updates are done....what other maintence issues should be adressed

????

Im looking to sell my 400ex for a cannibal. Can anyone explain the regular maintence that needs to be done on them. I've heard alot of people having problems with them(there always breaking). I dont want to buy something that I will regret because im always fixing it instead of riding. Any help I ap...

thanks anyone else?...what are all these electrical problems people are having?..is this due to the fact that people are getting water where it doesnt belong? and also how well does the d&m kit determine problems it has and is it worth it.
