Cvt Heat Management:
Prolonged high-load, low-speed operation (e.g., deep mud) can lead to CVT belt overheating and premature wear. Proper CVT cooling and belt maintenance are crucial.
Electrical Connections:
Due to off-road use, water ingress can sometimes affect electrical connectors, leading to intermittent issues. Regular inspection and dielectric grease application are beneficial.
Suspension Wear:
Heavy use, especially in abrasive conditions, can accelerate wear on bushings and ball joints. Regular greasing and inspection are recommended.
