450r questions.... honda.

[womerk28]

i'm leaving it all stock for now.... i've heard good things about these 450 motors and bad things....

some people tell me there indestructable and some tell me there junkk.... some other opions... meaning by junk they say the top ends... ( valves)

Its just like anything with a motor, take care of her and it will last a while.

i havent heard of bad valves but the cranks were having some problems i had to replace mine but my other 3 riding buds still havent had any problems out of their quads and 2 of them hardly change their oil much less clean their filter im always changing mine and keep rountine maintice up just luck of the draw i guess

I ride 30+ and Local pro MX on my 450R, ive been riding it for 3 1/2 seasons now with over 80 races on the stock bottom end, not counting the few XC races, and mulitple many practices. I have however put a 14.5:1 piston in it last as well as ported the head. Its had a cam, exhaust, and opened airbox since day one. I change the oil every 2 practices or races, oil filter every 4, clean the air filter every ride, and change the clutch/gearbox oil every 5 rides. I feel that if you stay on top of the maint, they will last you a really long time.

hi,look,all 450r need a hard maintenance,honda´s motors are indestructibles,butthe trx is the same thing as an yfz,the ltr needs less maintenence,but its still needs a hard maintenance and controls,i thing if you are starting to ride a 450,yo can do the same that CE Performance sayd,but as a longer time...see ya,good luck
