just picked up an 06 RMZ 450 for 750$
the guy i got it from bought it from a friend who barley rode it (paints still on the side covers) apparantly the guy was a squid and could barley ride,,
the original owner had the top end apart and didnt tighten the cam cover when he reassembled it..the kid i got it from rode it for a few minutes before he figured it out..needless to say it needs a new head...
everything else looks good..i figure for another grand i can get it dialed..
im coming off a yz125 for mx and a kx250 for offroad...ive been fighting getting a thumper but the track i ride is a 450 track with deep loam and big uphill jumps and im too big/unskilled for the 125..theres a couple jumps that even really really fast kids can barley jump on 125s...
ive been wanting an rmz but i was looking for something 08 and newer..
is there anything that i need for the 06 while im building it? plans are just to get the motor together and get the suspension revalved...there arnt allot of suzukis around here so i dont know anybody thats had one...
anybody with experience with 06's have anything good to say about it?? is it halfway decent or should i just part it out and try to make my $ back?? its got a 4speed right?
thanks for any suggestions you guys have

--- great bike, the 4 speed is great w/ a 50 tooth sprocket. 07 Rads bolt right up/ look better
--- slightly higher compression piston, stage 1 hot cam, flex-jet fuel screw, and full c/f Yosh---- Ran great
----- If I still had it, I would drop a RM 250 motor in it w/ a 300 kit.... just sayn'
