Purchasing 450eR - need help

[GoldenGloves]

Alright I'm buying a 2006 450eR this weekend for about $6000 otd, is there anything special I should suggest when I have them service it? type of oil, gas, lube, oil filter, ect?

I plan on doing the Motoman break in process and modifying it with some bolt ons shortly after..

If anyone has any suggestions or input on buying a new 450, I would appreciate it

Is the 450er the electric start version of the 450r?

Yup

don't floor it the first tank, try and vary the throtle. run 91 octane in it and after the first tank your good!!!!

I have an 04' still on the stock piston and all the mods done in my sig. After the first tank I put all that stuff on and have never had a prob!!!!!!!

I would use HP4 honda oil, and honda shop oil filters. And get some bel-ray chain lube, and wash it after you ge it dirty. Keep an eye on your chain so you don't end up throwing you chain when your in 4th gear rapped out. Tears stuff up.

Never EVER give it any gas when you go to start it. if you ride in the cooler weather,put a 45 pilot in that thing. very lean from factory. pm me if you would like some ideas on jetting mine runs and starts like a champ KNOW.
