I just procured a 2105 FE450. It was well cared for and is a solid bike. When I picked up the bike, however, I was a bit shocked about what the previous owner told me about maintenance. He told me to change all the fuel filters (there are three of them?), air filter, and oil and oil filter after every race. I am a motocross racer from way back (late 70's/I rode an open class CZ and had a dealer sponsorship), and I do not recall this degree of attention being payed to my bike back then. Was this guy being a bit anal or is this really the case?
Also, he said he ran fuel with no less than a 108 octane rating. Again, I was surprised because I thought I would be able to run premium gas from the pump. Apparently that is not the case? I do want the highest performing fuel so if you could say a few words about that, I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance from and old school motocross racer!
