\nyou have to drive it just like a 2 stroke bike ... you can\'t keep it WOT all the time ...
\n
\njust change your oil every 3 tanks of gaz burned, clean air filter often, make sur to check yourcoolant level before everydrive, and if it doesn\'t start on first few kicks, adjust your valves , and you will have tons of fun, more power, and a unique bike

I had an 07 kxf 450 , bike would start first kick anytime , just did my maintnance on schedule all the time ... never had to ajust the valves, I was really often on one wheel , driving in the woods but on long open road most of the time , burned a tire , etc .... these bikes are tough if you take care of them ...

\none of my buddy had a rmz 250 ... keept it WOT for about 20 minutes before the engin seized (what a moron) ... so they are still quite tough engines ... just take care of it cause when you have to rebuilt a engin ... its a couple grant\r\n

\r\n \r\n repalce the stock titanium valves with steel ones, they stay in sync better dont have to adjust as much.. get a heavier flywheel to like 13oz or something makes it much better on the street and for slow wheelies..
\n
\npeople warned me about heavy maintenance and shit but i had mine for a year i did change the oil prob every 10hrs but i never did nothing else accept beat on it and it started first kick all the time, perfect, loves wheelies in every gear and coasters just come naturally..
\n
\noil changes take 15mins thats engine and tranny (get a billywho man funnel it helps)
\n
\ni will pm you with what parts i used and shit like that when i get a chance..\r\n
