I'm back again this time with a bike

[1995blaster]

Well I decided to get a new bike instead of a nicer car. I got myself a 2005 yfz 450, bought it for $1900. So far all I had to do other then ride is get a new battery and needs new Tires soon so if you got some let me know.

It has
Nerf bars
Fuel customs full filter/tube
Front/rear rims + paddles
Pipe
Bumper and maybe more lol
Rode it twice so far and gonna go on a oil 2 day trip this weekend.


Also if anyone has any tips let's hear it
Gotta say tho even havin a bike like this a blaster will can and would smoke it in the trails lol.

Yeah just a heads up on that YFZ. I have a 05 too and let me tell you right now you better make sure the oil mod is done. I bought mine and not even after 8 hours of riding it the crank bearing burn up and locked up the engine.

Yeah, not to rain on the parade, but a word of warning.
These 450s are an awesome ride, but somewhat fragile and very expensive to repair.
Keep the oil changed OFTEN. Like every 5-10hrs of riding and use the best quality oil you can afford.
Drive it hard, have fun, but keep off the rev limiter, and for heaven's sake, if it ever "sounds different", shut her off and get it looked at.
Always cheaper to fix them when they are still running and ticking than when they seize solid.

It is not just the Yamaha that is like this. Pretty much all the 450's are like this. Performance over reliabiliy.
I had one that blew up on me and two of my buddies did too. Expensive to fix.

Ride it and enjoy it, few machines work as nice as these, but like Pro dragsters and fashion models, you don't want to live with one forever.
Just enjoy the ride while you are there!
