Hi everyone, Iam new to the forums. Iam 17 years old, and I live in Rochester NY. I bought a 2004 Blaster about 2 years ago, then just yesterday, I picked up a brand new 2006 trx450er black.
When I first rode the blaster, I was actally pretty scarred of it. But after about a couple months, the power was not enough. I mastered it. After waiting for winter to pass, I ordered a 240 BB kit, port and polished for the quad. To me, that was a improvement which held me excited for about a couple months, until I decided on getting a bigger quad.
I hada choice between a yfz450 or this, I picked this because the looks in black, wow did it impress me, as an trail rider, I couldnt have gone wrong with my choice. Now just this week for my earlie birthday, i picked up a black 06 450er. Let me tell you, this think is a space age over the blaster. When my dad got on it, he said I was gona die sometime this summer. When I rode it, Its power was in you palms. I couldnt even go full throtal, only half because Iam still breaking it in.
I do not really need any mods anytime soon, as who I will be riding with would be mostly blasters and kinds like them.
And I just have a couple of questions on what I might or might now be doing wrong, to make sure it keeps in tip top shape with the blaster. I have searched about the break in methods, ride it hard, or easily, I went towards the easily approach.
I let the run the garage, yes the door was open, for about 15 mintues. Then I let the quad sit for about 45 mintues.
After those 45 mintues, Iam starting to ride it with low-mid revs varying and shifting. I probbably road it for 5 minutes, because in rochester its realllly muddy out, so i only hada chance to ride it on the road.
I would like, if possible, help with some of these questions below.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
1. What are the things I should do next with breaking it in? I heard run it for about an hour low-mid rpms. Just wana make sure. After an hour can i start riding it hard?
2. I have tried searching for the best oil, but the forums only allowed a max of 4 letter words, so what would be an decent oil, for the tranny and engine?
3. Should I change the oil after breaking it in, after how many hours?
4. Mr Clean auto wash? worth it?
5. Last but not least, how long should this quad warm up for? I turn on choke, start it, take off choke after 20 seconds, then hit teh gas for a little bit until after a mintue I ride.
Thank you everyone for the help, and I soon hope to help out people just like me.... clueless. But I do know alot about blasters :)
I will be posting pictures soon, prob tonite if possbile or deffintly tommrow.
