I took out the sweet ole 450ex for a ride today. Me and a cuple budies took it to mx207 in lyman maine. Nice track, some moron forgot the camera at home tho....

Some pics of the after math of a long hard day on the ole quad. Me and my budie hammard this thing into the ground today to find any flaws in my design. welp we found em.

My motor broke its self free from any mount other than the swing arm.

Also looks like I ran out of brake pads at some point.../\ /\ /\


I cant get rid of the bog in this motor for some reason. Its NOT on acceleration one bit. Its when Im in air and just coming up on landing/ just touching doun it boggs and sputters. Real annoying.

pappy, see what a good home your motor was sent to. I change the oil every 7 hours of ride time or less. Only thing I have had issues with was the kick starter rubbing on that burgard clutch cover, A minute with the grider did the trick tho. Other wise it starts 1st or 2nd kick moast every time, the times I dont is when I forget to hook in my teather. Any tips on maintance to keep it runing in tip top shape?
