I wonder what did that??
nothign a little JB weld can't fix

coldnt weld it, broke right on the casting where the return spring for the
kick starter locks in . got a set of second hand cases.

as for the honda apart for the set back at the start its been a great bike.
i wouldnt touch an 09 honda 450r ,
i was pitted next to a guy at hattah desert race with one ,
it had around 80hrs done 2 gear boxes countless clutches
had problems with fuel filters (bike broke down on the return leg at fink)
that bike had cost them a fortune plus driving 6hrs to ride pro log and two corners .
he also had some horror stories about his friends 09 cfr
5 tents down chad billet blew his up ,rumor has it he has been through
14 motors this season.

There was oil and everything.

I think there was too wild cams, too much compression and too many (??) hours of use. Ice road racing is pretty damn hard for these 4 stroke bikes...

I talk with mine friend who has ktm 450 converted to 510cc and there was less than 10 hours with crank... He is lucky enough to not blow engines...

I didnt blow that engine by myself... it was friend of mine. i bought frame and squeezing trusty -85 cr 500 engine in it... :D

when I bought my mower a few years back I really wanted the big wheel honda, but man, they are pricey, instead I got the toro self drive w/ tecumseh 6.5 and it was a really good mower. I just really hate the primer bulb on the carb...
