valves.... nuff said...





check forks for oil leaks, chain sprokets, valves, check swing arm bushing, oil leaks, valves, clutch, check frame for cracks, check for VALVE TICK

how would it sound if it needs a vavle adjustment is there like a tick like you said
 
like 4 cfed said valves and just hope no one has ever tryed to djust them that doesnt know what they were doing my friends got one at his shop right now that some guy tryed doing a valve job on and the valves were bent almost 90deg. good luck man

I mean the guy doesnt sound like an idiot and he lives 10mins down the road from me, and 1500$ for a 04 yz450f with paper work I think is a nice deal.
 
nice? that is a great deal if everything is in good condition ! i am looking at getting one right now and they go for about 2500 to 3500 here

yea everything around me goes for alot of money banshee,yfz 3-6 easy at least 2800 no matter what, just for some reson the 450 dirtbikes go for 1800-2500 hear and even 250f's are more money hear for some reson at like 3-4. would anyone no why the 450f's are cheaper around hear then the 250f's
