just got rid of my 2005 400 ex and bought a 2006 450r.

anyway just trying to figure things out, any typical stuff that i should watch for? motor, electrical, etc.

just dont have any experience with this motor.

ride mostly on tracks, some woods - but not much.

Keep the oil changed, and change the filter every time you change the oil.

change the oil every 3 times u ride, the motor tends to last longer and perform better

should i just put the honda oil in until its broken-in? then switch after a while.

also this motor is loud [ i guess its the cam ] but u can really hear it at idle. just alot louder engine than my 400ex.

what about putting a 13t on the front? i know alot of 04-05's were doing this.

im not dragging this thing, so not to worried about up top.

thanks for the help....
