Yes! Aftermarket parts can lead to greater wear. Have you considered warranties? OEM usually has a better warranty comparison.
I’m leaning towards OEM for the warranty benefits. Just peace of mind! But I do envy the power numbers I see with aftermarket.

Couldn’t agree more! Plus, if something goes wrong, you’re covered. A reliable engine lets you focus on enjoying the ride!
Then again, I wonder if all the talk about reliability is exaggerated. Some aftermarket engines perform exceptionally well in certain settings. Anyone know of brands to avoid?
I think it comes down to user experience. Some swear by certain brands while others have horror stories. It’s a gamble either way!
Don’t forget to enjoy the journey! Maybe an aftermarket engine will spice things up. Just think twice before diving in.
Haha, true! Just make sure to wear a helmet if you go for the speed upgrades—safety first, right? 
Remember, it’s about finding the balance between what you want and what you need. An engine’s power is great, but reliability keeps you on the road!
