450 questions

[1fastrex]

hey guys i'm new to the 450R def not new to quads but i wanted to know some basic crap i guess. do they have tranny problems? mine seams to not want to go into gear all the time.

my main question is i am looking into stretching out the quad and i was looking at some kind of a-arms where i can get away with using stock shocks...i ride tracks but home built ones nothing too serious and a lot of pits and stuff. what i would like is either a +2 or +3 arms and i will get a g-force rear axle and and try to keep the stock shocks all the way around is this a fesable thought or do i just need to get new shocks front and back? thanks guys also any stupid general maintance or just insight on the quad would be appreciated.

dont try to start is with the gas in, you can crack your case cover (i think thats what cracks) can sombody help me out with what it is, so basically dont press the gas while trying to start it

yea i allready knew that i did it once or twice by accident but i know not to do that

Burgard a arms=$400
G force axle=$200

You can use your stock shocks but it will be a little soft.

Burgard +2+1 aarms. Geforce axle. I ran with just that for about 6months. Then I sent my stock shocks to derisi racing to be setup for the new arms and my weight/riding style.

Heres a few pic's

My only advice to you is to change the oil regularly. At the least you should change the tranny oil often. Its less than a quart so its not alot of money.The reason is at least the engine side has a filter, so it can go a bit longer in my opinion. I change my oil in both sides after every ride. A bit anal I know but to me its worth it..
