[daniel_beck]

ok guys im buying an 05 this friday prob and was wondering if theier was any problems with this yr of the quad its all stock and its a kickstart

[TWISTED DINLI]

i heard they are pretty goos. the 06-07 is the one with having tranny problems or something like that.

06-07 dont have tranny problems
they have starting problems and a recall on ball joints

[allstock]

i havent had a problem with mine at all but late model 04's and early 05's have crank bearing failures

[daniel_beck]

ok thanks guys and i wll deff get some pics of it when i get it if i get it lol

crank bearings and rod bearins... and yes the 06/07 were rumored to have tranny problems, which is why you see a lot of national caliber bikes now with "tranny mods." This seems to be another reason a lot of pros were still using the 04/05 motors.

yea its like the late 04's and early 05's. My 05 is a late one, so i hope i dont have the problem, but if I do, i just have more of a reason to rebuild it into a racing motor...(+3 stroker)

Rossier and Dasa are the best for the 04/05, but HMF is also alright.
