Picked up a new 450!

[MattCanada]

Hey guys, last weekend I picked up a 06 LTR 450 for a great deal! It seems the Canadian powersports market is getting hit hard recently..

Anyways, its a full race ready bike

Bondi Engine
Atv Fourplay A-Arms, Steering Stem, Bar Clamps
Fox Floats, Podium Rear
Dominator Axle
Elka Steering Stabilizer
Yoshimura Cherry Bomb, RS5 Pipe
Pro-Armor PowerGrip Pegs, Heel Guards & Nerfs
Quad Tech Seat Cover, Carbon Fiber Shock Covers
Renthal Bars..

Thats about all I remember.. only have the one picture right now until we get some clear skies here (5 out of 6 days has been rain!)

Anything to look out for with these machines?

[finsteratv]

nice! check out the ltr section and get to work haha

[chronicsmoke]

Sick man, I'm from the Ontario too, what'd you scoop that up for?

Where are you located in Ontario? Running the CMRC or the MMRS next season?

[mineralgrey01gt]

Get the shifter pin relocator kit for it if it doesnt already have it. I didnt get mine yet but its coming soon, before i start riding again as I have to get a few other things first.

[MattCanada]

Ahaha thanks guys, really can't get to work on it nothing left to do!

Il look in to the shifter pin relocation bro thanks!

I'm from Toronto, not gonna race the next CMRC season because I'm new to MX, gonna do quite a few practice days at gopher dunes though

Paid around 4 for it!

[440racer66]

sharp bike man and you got a pretty good deal it seems.

[mineralgrey01gt]

Damn man. I payed $3800 for mine, it only had about 40 hours on it when i got it but still lol. Sometimes I wish i would have gotten one with more work done for the same price but then again i got to start with a pretty much bone stock bike.

Clean bike! The one good thing about buying a bike stock is that you have a way better chance of not having problems in the future. The guy I bought mine off changed the oil every weekend, cleaned the filter at the same time and waxed the chain every ride.. Hopefully it stays together haha

Thats CHEAAAPP for Canada! I payed 3800 for my 05 with basic mods 2 years ago, and that was a deal at that price..

I know the guy that runs the Harrowsmith (Kingston) in the MMRS series.. I can get the whole track for a day, next summer i'm trying to get like 15-20 guys to come out for a couple days. You should come, it's a relaxed group of guys usually.

Sounds sick man im down for sure, have a cottage a hour east of Kingston so it's easyily doable for me.

[chronicsmoke]

Sick dude, I'm guessing that's in Brockville? I'm in Cornwall, so that's pretty damn close. You should come and race it in the Hick fest they hold just North of Brockville.

It's mostly hillbilly's with home-made mud machines, but there is a small track that 15-25 quads race on too.

I say I'm not going to go every year, but end up there at least once, lol.

[MattCanada]

Took some new pictures, its in dire need of some simple green.. to cold and rainy out to clean it up today.. Gonna have to put a new clutch in as well, what brand do you guys recommend?

I never go there to sleep, but my friends do.. they come back with a wicked hangover and alot of broken parts.. all from being drunk and stupid, lol. Your raptor would actually do well on that track there was a guy on a stock raptor 700 last year that was pretty quick against the 450's

@ MattCanada..

Sick bike dude, congrats. Hopefully I get to see it next summer ;)

[Wills77]

is it just me or does that carrier look like its sliding out to the left?

I looked it over for a long while and it looks fine haha, must just be the picture..

[sly400ex]

Kick *** man! Looks like you're going to have some fun!:D

[MattCanada]

Yeah man! I took it for a rip today.. It handles like its on rails and the power is flawless.. to bad I didn't have enough space to take it out of third :( Runs like a raped ape.

Was looking over the bike today.. had about all the pro armor billet you can get.. rear break lever, gear shifter, front sprocket cover.. Who spends $400+ on 3 useless things! :eek2:

Ordered a new Rath XC bumper, Powermadd Handguards off a member here, new Quad Tech seat cover off Ebay for a great price.. Just need a clutch (found one locally brand new for $50) and some new graphics!

That's pretty sweet, in october there I got my 2007 400ex, less than 30 hours, just a K&N and pro armour nerfs for mods, got that for 3300, I thought that was a good deal but there really isn't much to compare it to.

Where are you located? Lol only had to drive 10 minutes to get myn, kind of wanted mostly stock anyways though, more fun when you get to choose what you want on it and get to do some of the work yourself, also alot less chance of it being screwed up too eh.
