With 7500 miles I have had very good luck with my Attak. Original slides. No wheel problems. No track clips lost. No exhaust problems.
The only problem I had was a cracked rail. With the suspension completely apart when changing the rail, I decided to go thru the suspension completely, even though some parts were not bad. I changed all of the idler wheels to the accessory wheels w/replaceable bearings because the bearings were getting bad in the original idlers with that many miles. Changed the idler wheel bearings in the upper shaft. Changed bearing in center axle wheel and added the 4th wheel. Changed the outer axle wheels to the accessory wheel with replaceable bearings. New slides. Changed the drive axle bearing on clutch side. Changed all plastic bushings. Had the suspension arms powdercoated satin black. He also fixed the grease fittings.
Have it in, polished the rails and tunnel, and going riding this week.
