[QUOTE="SilverBurr, post: 1074375, member: 70358"] I've recently jumped back into the sport of off road bikes after a 20 year hiatus. My younger years, from a childhood until college, I rode religiously, raced motocross, very heavily into bikes. But life has a way of swaying a young man, college, girls, starting a career, my love of bikes and financial ability was the end of my sport. Fast-forward 20 years, my financial situation is good, tired of sitting in front of the computer and getting fat, I buy a YZ450F. Now mind you, my only experience with motocross bikes was back in the 70's & 80's Two stroke was king. I now have this new fangled 4-stroke that runs like the wind, I am amazed at the technology changes. Like I said before, I am the owner of a 2003, yz450f, so I have a few questions. * What maintenceance should I be doing. * What is all this talk about warm starts and that dang lever by the clutch handle. * The bike seems to start with no throttle turn, kinda of strange. I was used to starting and pumping the trottle. * Been feeding it regular unleaded gas. Is that OK? * Do these new bikes have bugs that will easily break down and require a big repair bill. What I mean is the technology so new, that the manufactures have not resolved all the bugs. The more I read on this forum, the more questions I have. And one last thing, this body of mine was way out of shape, my wrist and ankles are taking a beating, we take for granted how sturdy our bodies were at a young age. Just hope the pain goes away soon, this is one fun bike to ride. Andy [/QUOTE]
