Hey.
Just got a 2010 crf 450 for a good deal.
My first Honda, and 4 stroke dirt bike. My previous bikes were always Yamaha 2 smokes.
Anyways,
The bike came stock except for a fmf Q4 and works connections skid plate. Original plastics. Maybe even original brakes!
Since it was a used bike I went ahead and replaced things like: wheel bearings, brake pads and rotors, had the suspension serviced. Oil and filter change on the engine side and a trans side. I have a rear suspension link on order and bearing to replace the linkage and swing arm.
I want to know if I should have the engine checked out by a shop because the previous owner didnt have a hour meter not the did original owner. The bike starts and runs great and if I had to guess how many hours on the engine, I'd guess somewhere around 100 hours...just a guess tho. I can tell by looking at the engine bolts that they have been taken off before... maybe the engine was rebuilt by a previous owner? Let's say it wasn't, and the bike has 150 ish hours.
Could a orinigal bike with 150 hours in it still start and run like new?

This is my standard protocol for used 4 strokes.
