since we know they are real and being shipped out. i think its time to set a thread to help some of the people make the transition from 2-stroke to 4-stroke. i am comming from racing the 250R from 92 and not riding a 4 stoke till a few months ago when i got my 300ex. im use to mixing race gas and oil and going to the track. this 450r is going to be a new learning experience for a lot of people and since this forum is one of the best with imformation out there hopefully we can help save a few R's.
i already read in on thread about filling up the tranny and letting it idle then topping it off, a lot of people would not have known and could have made the mistake even though it might say it in the manual.

Whatever you do, dont use Moly on the tranny side.
Also be very aware that you have to fill the clutch side in two stages. i dont remember how much oil goes in but you first have to pour a certain amount in and then idle the machine for two minutes. that will transport the oil to a higher level and make room for the rest of the oil. DONT FORGET that procedure.
Harlen. YOu may want to do a write up about that before some people hurt their engines. i heard of some doing it wrong when i had my crf450. people didnt read it right and didnt put enough in the tranny.
now since this thing is running 2 seperate oil chambers allowing people to run 2 types of oil, maybe we need to set up which type of oil people would recomend to run during break in and after being broken in. maybe Mickey Dunlap could give us some information in here also. We know honda offers several type of oils for this,maybe we need to talk about which is the best.
fuel
with the new technology in these quads i know people are going to want to run race fuel. i know im use to running race fuel in my R, but i know people with the new 4 strokes saying they can get away with running 93. i konw some times running race fuel can be too much and rob some Hp.
please feel free to add anything that can help some people with the transiting of caring for a 4 stroke race quad from which oil to which plugs work best.
edit, i tried to change it from not to now, but it didnt show up, sorry.
