Can anyone give me some feedback on this - performance, engine and clutch wear, warranty etc.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure what his "being cut off" remarks are about. (Nor do I care). There is nothing wrong with someone pointing out there are various alternatives. Quite simply, if Marshman follows Ian's reasonable advice and does his homework...then if APS is indeed the best for him, not only will he be making a much more informed decision, he will be getting what suits him best and what has proven to be the best.Of course Marshman could, if he so chooses, completely ignore Ian's fair advice and focus only on APS.But that's not for YOU to decide either.Ian obvisouly isnt the only one potentially being one-eyed here.

Excuse me Ian, but it is inapropriate to comment about other brands as this new lad is asking about APS, maybe you should of tried PM'ing him with your one-eyed comments.ScottyOh, and I have APS phase 1 on my manual XR6T (series 1). I'm very impressed with the performance. I haven't had any problems with clutch, gear box, etc. since getting it, but I've only had it for a little over a month. As most people will tell you, warranty shouldn't be an issue, unless the problem is related to the mods. Whatever mods you go for, I'm sure you will enjoy.
