7/26/2016 4:26am Why do you recomend to not to the fork tubes? Will they not hold up well? From what i've heard, anodizing will be more expensive than cerkote for the forks as the quote i was given was $120 for the pair of forks and included blasting and cleaning before the coating..

Shifting from 1st-4th gear is not a problem at all, but when i click her up into 5th it feels like the clutch is constantly being pulled in and let out over and over again. that is basically the best way to explain it. There is no noticeable or...

staz51 Started a new thread YZ450F Blown bottom end? Strange noises
10/9/2015 4:32pm Had been riding for about 30 mins, was about half throttle in 3rd and the motor started making crazy noises, sounding like i ran over a heap of wire or something.
