I'm looking at a used 2008 GSX 800R and am wondering if I can get some comments from some who may have or do still own one. Comments from any 800R owners are welcomed as the chassis and motor are mostly the same.
I understand there are just minor clutching and gearing differences with the GSX compared to an MXZ, and the obvious differences in the suspensions and accessories. I understand that the clutching and gearing differences actually help with a belt wear issue that may have existed on the MXZ's.
Trying to figure out if this is a dependable sled to be buying used or if there were first year woes with the new chassis or any motor issues. Searched on Dootalk and actually didn't find a lot of issues, just seeing if there is some more input on this site.
Please no "my buddy had one of these and they were junk" responses.
THANKS in advance for any input,
Gregg
