You could change it everyday... that still wouldn't stop whatever trash that's in there from cycling through your motor when you're riding/racing. Hopefully none of your bearings or anything go badOriginally posted by YFZ450 11x

Hey thanks for the info I am a honda tech working for velocity cycles and only rarely see the yfz but now I know to look at that to. Theres some stuff about the 450r that most dealerss don't check and even honda doesn't really say anything about.
should we cut out that screen? or should we leave it in.ijust did my first oil change on my new 05.and will check this on my next oil change.and i will remove it if it will not hurt my motor.
I'm not moving mine! That gunk you see in the screen would have been in my motor if not for that screen. Main thing is to check it.Originally posted by 05yfz450

I'm a little worried about mine now I have an 06 model and haven't checked it once yikes right. I am gonna cehck it before I ride it again. My question is how hard is it to get at? Can I do it with my oil tank still in the quad or do I have to remove it? Thanks for the info.

I would leave it in. If you remove the screen that stuff will go threw your oil pump and could damage it. Sure the oil filter will catch it but that oil filter will clog up quicker than that screen will.
Mods, this thread should be made a sticky. Every YFZ owner should be aware of this screen and to make sure to check it and clean it every few oil changes, if not every oil change.
