hey i just got my 2005 crf450r....i need to know about the oil sitiation while in a wheelie....is there an oilpickup tube or whats oin on???Thanks

 

all you need is a big brake kit and some wheels n tires, the oiling is fine. I've tried to blow mine up and the thing is bullet proof!

 

Damn what a shame

 

it's lasted 2 years on the rev limiter

 

so ? Still I don't see the point of blowing such a great bike up for nothing Its fun to watch when someone else does it, but with you're own bike... nah, I wouldn't do it

 

damn...do you check your valves often?? i was reading the manual ..and the maintanence is ridiculious..says change the piston and rings every 15 hours. i dont know anyone that does that. the first thing ill get is some super moto wheels and tires for it..with a brake kit.. is the stock gearing ok??

 

Checking the valves is very important. If you don't want to check them that often then get the steel valve kit and springs.

 

word i gotta check my valves.

 

Ive been beetin on mine for 6 months or so with no problems, front wheel is always up. I haven't touched the motor, but I should probly do some maintnance.

 

man...sitdowns on this bike are so smoother...almost smoother than my gixxer...i love the torque this thing has...and its bone stock...i gotta get used to how good it turns tho...because that back tire is so skinny!!!im still breking it in...i run pretty low rpms in the wheelies and Btw...how much are the stainless valves and springs??

 

i had an 03 and it mudered valves, which in turn murdered the head and piston

 

they fixed ALOT of the valve problems in 04 and alot in 05. 03s were horrible when it comes to valve problems.
