I had a guys offer me a 2010 yfz 450x for my 2005 honda 450r that has full axis long travel front end axis rear shock and a fresh motor. monay other mods as well.

I know this is the yamaha section but the yfz is all stock. what do you guys think? any problems i need to look for with the newer yfz?

-Take a peak at the subframe. Often times, they crack from seat bouncing. Either close to the bolts or down the rail.
-See what condition the bolts (torx) holding the subframe are in. My subframe wouldn't stay tight. Lift the bike via the grab bar a few times to make sure the subframe is tight.
-Check the oil to see if it is fresh or burn looking. The con rod bearings suck in yamahas so fresh oil is key.
-Check the upper a-arms for play. The bushing wear out but are only $16 to replace all of them.
