[QUOTE="techman, post: 172414, member: 17388"] Find a YZF4xx that doesn't look excessively crashed, has an owner who likes doing frequent oil changes, hasn't dicked with the carb, hasn't had the engine apart for repairs etc (easy to find) - and your best indication is if it's still on the original tires and maybe even chain - then you KNOW it's hardly been used. Don't worry about the clutch grabbing, it's a simple cheap 2001 plate swap fix. Lots of tanks around used, but no local guys have cracked tanks. Keep you eye open for such a beast and you'll do good. I've been totally trouble free for 2 seasons now on a 2000 426. On the other hand, if the bike's beaten up it's also probably been power shifted to hell at the red line rpm - ie max engine/tranny wear conditions. There are reports of 2000 4th and 5th gears occasionally cracking. It all boils down to getting a pretty fresh, low use bike. Especially ask about oil changes frequency by the previous owner.
