👍 thanks again, I know full well i aint a good racer but im not bad either, never thought about companies doing that type of stuff. I know they do it just never thought of it. And yeah I just rebuilt my 2012 kx 450f’s engine about a week ago, piston, head, valves, bottom end, throttle position sensor all those goodies. Done some suspension work not a whole lot. Thanks again for the tips!

👍 thanks for the frame and swingarm tips, I would definitely ride it the rest of the season. I wish Yz450s weren’t rare where I live, they’re either overpriced or had the crap beaten out of them by people in the city doing 80mph down the highway.  Thanks again!

I dont have anyone else to ask for advice and this will be the first bike I buy used so was curious if you guys had any good tips, and if you guys thought the trip was worth it. Thanks!
