Re: 07 M8
Not a lot of issues. Clutching is way off out of the box, torsional spring rear skid needs some "alterations" to work better. DD needs clean oil regularily, track is a camoplast challenger 2.25" - soft track that works ok at best. A powerclaw or challenger extreme is a much better track.
However, a little setup and a few bolt ons make this sled work very well. Do a seach on the forum for "geo mod", that will help the skid. Consider revalving the shocks, clutch it, and perhaps look for a SLP pipe set. If you can find a PC or challenger extreme, do it.

Problems with the D-drive and a pipe wakes it up. Just plan on replacing the drive someday or at least the planet.
trouble free
I ride a 07 M8 162; I have 1800 miles on it and rode it today. All I have every done was put four new plugs in it this year, new belt last year changed the oil in the dimond drive. I didn't reflash the pcm; you learn how not to let it load up after you come down from a hard pull. Most reliable sled I'v owned.
