What is the weight limit on the 450r. I know its 243 on the 400ex and 220 on the yfz.

It says 243lbs on the sticker. I'm 6'2 240lbs and the bike has no problem dealing with me, and I am definitely not the biggest guy running one of these.

I think it's mainly an obligated precaution against lots of weight and/or passengers.

I am 6' and weight 260-280 and I have never had a prob with th e weight limit. I have bottomed the shocks in the dunes though. You might want to watch how much air you are getting. As far as whoops go no problem even in fifth gear.

Just sit back, hang on and enjoy the red ride.

IM about 4 foot nothing, and about 240lbs, and the Rear shock on the trx450r is way to stiff, and Seems to shoot me sky high when hittin a steep kicker, or jumping a log!

Get the linkage from GT Thunder I sent my shock to them and got that done and the linkage for 250. The bike is way better now. No more bucking at all. Def worth the money.
