If your user name is a reflection of what you ride now or did, I would say comparing a Warrior to a Cannondale is like comparing a Toyota Tercel to a Ferrari. The Ferrari will require a little more preventive maintenance & performance upgrades, but which would you rather drive on a race track?

Air/oil/fuel filters every 5-10 hours.
engine/tranny oil change every 10 hours.
lube chain.
fill 'er up.
ride.
realize that sometimes shite happens and deal with it if it does.

Just take care of it. I know with an old Warrior you can pretty much forget about maintance and run forever. ****, with those babys, you could prolly drain the oil and run 2-stroke mix through it and make it last for a few hours!

Change oil often. Keep electrical connections clean. Dont let morons ride it!
