hello my name is matt. i currently race a beat up 400ex in harescrambles. i found a used 08 ktm 450xc for 3500 in my area. it doesnt look too beat up except the clutch cover from were his boots were rubbing. the only thing aftermarket is pro armor nerfs. do you think it is a good deal and if i go look at it in person what should i look at? what noise's should i listen for? with all you guys talking about the motors exploding it has me pretty worried! just how reliable are these ktms. my old 400 has been threw hell and back and never had a motor problem......any input would be greatly apreciated. thanks!

They only blow uo when people either dint maintain them or over rev them too much
