Who knows a lot about 05 450r's?

[200xcellent]

My friend is getting an 05 450r and I was just wondering if there were any problems to look for or any tips to help him out since this is his first quad. Also, do you guys of any good forums for the 450r's?

So far now major issues that I have seen (work at a dealership), the only gripe I have heard is the suspension is soft to race with.


Here is a good overall honda quad site http://www.atvriders.com/

my local dealer told me that the engines are one of the loudest (not good kind of loud) engines he has ever heard. He also said that you have to keep up the maintenance on them BIG TIME. Thats what he said but i cant guarantee any of it.

i have one and the only thing that needs to be done asap is the jetting and the 06 engines are the ones that sound `like a time bomb

Thanks guys. So far we are really happy with his new bike. What type of break in service should we do? Just change the oil and filter and check the valves?

Yeah we wont forget that. There are two oil caps, one on the left and one on the right side of the cases. what is the one on the right for? The guy told him to fill it in the left one.

Left is for Crankcase oil, right one is for Transmission.....
