[ecko450r]

just seeing if theres a good mechanically inclined person here in tucson that wants to come take a look at my bike. im trying to learn how to work on my 450 but i cant do that if i always take it to the shop. im very mechanically inclined but im the type that can do something if im shown how to do it. for the just of the bike i mainly just want to check the valve clearances and see if my rings are going bad. i noticed that i was starting to burn oil but when that happened on my 05 a while back turned out my valves were stretched. well if anyone is interested and wants to help me out i would appreciate it. just shoot me a pm or what not and let me know. thanks

hey if you dont mind i got a 450r as well and id like to get some hands on training ... i hear its a little different then the yfz450 ... like you i could probably figure it out myself but it would be helpful to have someone there with tips ... cause doing it the other way im sure there would be more than a few things i would screw up in the process ... i can bring the hot wings ...

Like what?

[ecko450r]

im mainly looking for general stuff like checking valves and what not. what to look for what to listen for. that way i dont have to take my bike in every month or whatever to have it looked at and save me some cash.

its going to be tuff to find someone ... ive been looking for a while ... i pretty much do everything myself except the valves ... ive never owned a honda b4 so im learning as i go ... like you i want to save some money especially since i got more than one quad ... its getting expensive!! ... ive also noticed theres not to many people that do their own valves??? ... if no one speaks up and you want to give it a shot hell 2 heads are better than one

I live on phx and have family in Tucson. I do ALL my own maintenance including adjusting my valves. I have done adjustments on suzukis and hondas as well. Not that hard and not as intimidating as everyone thinks. Next time I'm in tucson I could give a hand.
