I had a lengthy reply going the other day but I scrapped it so I'll try to highlight. If you're here, good chance this isn't the only site you read so it's easy to assume everyone knows about these things. My last ride included 9 people. I'm fairly competent to say I was the only one who has ever been on an atv website. If 25% of atv riders read atv forums I'd be surprised. Point being is you never know who might show up looking for answers.

My points really have nothing to do with Kymco. IMO there are tons of riders out there that don't do any research. Hell, I started out just looking for people to ride with, where to go, never even thought about maintenance tips, possible issues, etc.

I ride with the same 6-8 people every weekend,none of which are computer literate.Its funny how they act like I have a crystal ball or something when I can find anything cheaper than they can at the very few shops within a 30 minute drive,and find new places to ride. I am on a first name basis with the UPS driver due to knowing how to use google.
