I am currently racing a 2003 CRF450..I am going to buy a 2005 bike next year..I have flat had it with the maintenance problems with this Honda. I love riding the bike..It starts easy when everything is fresh, but I could fill up this page with everything I have gone thru to keep this bike on top of its game..I am no rookie..I am 39 and have been racing and maintining bikes since I was 5. (with a little help from my dad of course)..All of my race buddies ride Hondas so I am having a hard time getting an honest opinion...What do you guys think of your YZF 450s. Do they start, Do the valves stay in Spec(for at least more than 5 hours), How about other maintenance problems?? Be honest now..I can learn to ride any bike...I just don't have time to do complete top end jobs and rebuild water pumps every month. Thanks..I appreciate any input you guys may have.
