Alright im gettin kinda pissed off at my parents and family cause they think that i cant tear part of one down, i have a honda manual, also a buddy that can help, is it really that hard, or should i work on an easier engine, theres a friend i know thats sellin a 400EX, or would a 250R be easier, cause im wantin to change valves, etc without havin to send to a shop and spend over twice as much as if i would do it,

tearin them down arent hard, but doing valves arent the easiest thing to do, you need to get a few special tools, and need to know what to look for, if you have your honda guide and the right tools i say go for it.

yea you souldn't have that much of a problem i was 15 when i rebuilt my first bike it was a yamaha blaster easier than a 4 stroke of course, im rebuilding my 450r right now for the first time no problem so far, just take your time and get the manuel peice of cake plus it's a hella of a feeling when you start it for the first time
