[honda300EXtreme]

i was curious how many of you have a mxr 450?

im seriously considering purchasing one,

any pics, or words of caution would be much appreciated

ill be gettin a 09

[Colby@C&DRacing]

I have one that I race xc with little wide for some of our courses but has treated me well so far. I am excited for the 09 as the current fenders are bigger than I am use to.

thanks colby, i was kind of hoping you respond, so its been reliable, i know ktm builds a heck of a motor,

how responsive is this engine to upgrads and botl ons?

thanks

[Colby@C&DRacing]

The air box is restrictive, but the motor responded well to bolt ons. I have only had problems with the 08 plastic breaking.

thanks guys, i plan on buying a new 09 within a year, and to be honest for the money it looks to be the most promising, i wanted a ktm untill the price spiked, and this way i still get the ktm motor

how about the fox shocks in stock form, they any good? never rode on there spring shocks

[outlaw450mxr]

There a little stiff in some of the really bumpy stuff, but on jumps there fine but could be softer. Colby said what he does at c and d is shorten them and they ride much better for 700 compared to 1200 aftermarket shocks. What do you plan on doing with the 450 motocross or woods, or just riding?

[montycarlo]

The shocks are probably "Very good", but Colby can dial you in to "Excellent" very economically as previously mentioned.

Mine were revalved and resprung before I bought the quad and am very happy with them so far.

[honda300EXtreme]

im mainly a "recreation rider" hate that term,
some local mx events here and there, mostly fast paced woods riding,

this just seems like the perfect quad, powerful, reliable and affordable

[montycarlo]

Well OK then I won't call you a recreational rider lol but the stock shocks can probably be made very comfortable for you by loosening the preload up and working the clickers for dampening.

[SSJEFF]

I would have the shocks setup if I were you, you will be very happy if you do. It is probably one of the best things you can do IMO. The Foxes can be done that come on it by C&D and many other guys reasonably.

[honda300EXtreme]

man im getting excited to get this thing,, thanks alot guys for the advise its much appreciated

[SSJEFF]

Not to steal this great sites thunder, I visit it often, check out predatorowners.com for outlaw info. Most of the guysthere are on here also but there is a lot more info on them over there.

[honda300EXtreme]

is there anything to watch out for these things, mechanically or structurally?

man just cuse its a polaris people bad mouth the crap out of these things, i look at it as a affordable version of the ktm

man im about sick of hearing dont get it its a polaris :p

[OutlawBill]

a little lean on the factory jetting

[xc44]

all manufactuers have their problems, dont worry about new model,it is mostly cosmetic
