just gotta change the oil alot more about ever 5-10 hours depending on who your talk to. But its because it only take like .9 quarts of oil each time. I don't personally have one but its just what i've read other than thay i think its just normal maintence like any other quad

Quads are def. high maint. I have had every type of quad and after every season I have to replace about every bearing, chain, rings, bushings, and timing chains. I have heard nothing but good about the 450R.

Yea I have not heard of the 450r being any higher maint. than any other quads. I have a 400ex and if I did not race it all I would have to do is change the oil. The 400ex and the 450r are very very reliable machines.
