Well I was talking to Will at 1dirracing and he was telling me that the 450r is having issues with the cylinder's turning into footballs and blowing up. I guess the cylinder is so bored out to get the 450cc that the wall is so thin. This all comes back to what bandit posted about Eric gorr's website and how he has such a back log of 4-stroke work and how parts are hard to come by.
I'm telling everyone right now the manufactures are putting the 4-strokes out because of one reason. All the shops were complaining about not having enough work. So they are pumping these damn 4-strokes out and there junk. Your going to see more and more problems and issues with these crappy 4-strokes. People think oh theres no maintenance with them but that is bullshit. Always having to adjust valves, change the oil, and the list goes on. I wouldn't change doing a simple top end for the world.
FUCK 4-STROKES
