No oil light bushings from the factory. Really just an Apex GT with 40th anniversary trim. Nice looking sleds.
No must do's that are any different than most Apex's.
Keep an eye on the cable that runs to the shock. They have a tendency to break.

Thanks for reply's guys I really was hoping that Yamaha had fixed some of the issues that there are. The reality is I have been out of sledding for 2 years and had my 06 gt which was a great sled had the wheel issue but my dealer fixed that for me as as soon as it happened as I ride 6-7 hrs from home and buy usually where I ride. I could feel the weight of the 4stroke by the end of the day but the other positives out weighed that 
Biggest issue is money right now its tight and I don't want to buy a new sled this year for that reason and would like to see what is coming down line... and also would like to try the eps on the new Yamahas. I found a really good deal on a 08 gt 136 anniversary that I could get this year and ride and possibly hand down to my 16 y/o and we could have some father son bonding lol.. But that will be expensive haha. I know the ohlins are a better shock even better than the ones that I had on the 06 gt. The seller has had hygear do a revalve and spring on the sled but will taking that off and replacing it with a original shock with 900 miles. I am thinking of sending it out to have it redone as I did my 06 gt as I needed the big boy spring and shock revalve I forget who did it I think pioneer I think it helped but still wasn't impressed with it or the Yamaha suspension. I think for the price of the 08 I cant go wrong and will beable to ride it and can do upgrades over the summer or winter.any other opinons please let me know thanks guys
