what to look for on used 450's?
« on: November 25, 2013, 08:06:30 am »
couple of 450s are for sale one is 2006 with AC nerfs, cherry bomb, and Houser stem.  The other is a 2007 all stock except cherry bomb.  They still have stock tires with little wear, and the down tube by the footpegs have paint - so it looks they have very little ride time.

What should I be on the look out for?  Any particular year have problems with the motor or etc.?

One big thing to ask about is motor work, I know on my CRF your supposed to have the piston changed every 50 hours of mx riding and every 100-200 of regular riding. Make sure that your not getting something with 400+ hard hours and no serious maintence done.

Good luck on the 450 buy.
