    I finally got to ride the rebuilt 450 today. :woohoo: I had to do some final valve clearance adjustments as the head was ported and the seats were machined so I needed a couple of shims a few thou smaller to regain my valve clearance.
    Well it has made all the difference, I only put 20km on it but the 450 is now really responsive and sharp in its power delivery and this is with the adventure gearing 14/45! I cant wait to get back on the trails with the normal lower gearing for the singles.
    I have also ordered the upgraded oil pump gears and oil pump drive shaft, which is for peace of mind reliability.

    Let’s Ride!!!!!!

    Good stuff Lefty. $600 is pretty good for a 4 banger rebuild i think.
