ok is id bad to break in the 450r in the snow? i know with my d-bike it is rode it in the snow and its bad for it because of the spinning. so is it bad for the 450:confused:

No it shouldn't hurt anything to ride it in the snow. I just depends on how you are rideing it. If you are whaleing on it the whole time then yes it will be hard on it but if you take it easy and ride it nice it should be fine.

It's funny you had two of your exhaust bolts fall out. When I took my end cap off to install the HRC kit one was frozen and I had to drill it out.
