Iv had issues but only minnor ones.
1)My battery connection snaped while i was in the air over a jump  .
2)the yamaha progame is a good fast map but i find atm straight after the race and im going down the pit shot it keeps stalling , but i have been told thats the map set up i currently have.
Apart from that they are a great bike. they are a bit of a slug untill you put a computer,filter and pipe on them.

| i personally thing that if you stick with well known brands you don't really have any major problems.if your racing expect things to break and have money aside to repair as you go. |
