Hey guys whats up. I'm a long time rider of buggys and quads. Just came across this forum and it looks like theres good info and people here.
I just picked up a 05 450r that was only ridden a handful of times. It was brand new last year, was a left over model at the dealer when the PO bought it. It is mostly stock right now and plan on leaving it pretty stock, less wrenching and more reliability on this machine the better for me. I just ordered a k&n and outerwear for it. I also ordered plastic renew kit to clean up some scratches on the fenders (that crap bugs me :grr: ) I also just changed the oil (both sides with the honda recommended fluids) the filter and plug (honda crazy priced plug) this afternoon. It runs beautiful. Kicks over on the first time mostly. I don't know if the PO ever adjusted the valves so I figure I should do that later this week.
I think that should pretty much take care of any maintenance that I should ensure its up on. Anyone have any other recommendations?
Also I was considering a slip on exhaust. I would rather keep the stock header. I also would like to keep the stock jetting if possible. It would just be cool to have the sound really.
I am looking at those new fox "boots" that are more like high top shoes actually. Anyone here tried them? I would rather have something like these that are smaller and cooler if possible.
That's it for now!
Thanks
