Hey, I am looking for a new to me four wheeler, In my area there is a 2004 450r for sale, he wants $4500, but if I could get it for $4000 cash, oh man it seems tempting (Located in Canada.)

I was wondering though if it is a good deal, I have tried to find comparative prices around Canada, but can not find any 2004's for sale, only 05's and 06's.

The bike is in Mint Condition, 4 new tires, DG front bumper, and rear grab bar. The oil was changed every 10 hours.

So any insight would be appreciated, I want to move onto the sport quads, and I think this is the bike I want.

I will be doing trailing riding, hill climbing, and hitting jumps, and going out to the track with my friends.

Thanks =D

 

4k sounds like a great price to me!
You could never find one around here for that price.

 

These are great machines! Did a big desert ride on my 04 this weekend.

What about the motor??? Did they keep up on valve adjustments??? Any motor mods??? This enigne really benefits from the HRC kit, which will give you more top end. I went with an FMF PowerBomb header, which helps on the low end.

Mine is geared down one tooth in front, but even geared down it is miserable on a tight, slow trail! This engine likes to rev, so it is a machine for open country, not tight trails...lots of miserable clutch slipping required...no thanks....

 

Thanks for the replies,

I am going to go look at it as soon as I can, i'll ask him the questions there.

 

Well I bought it for 4500$, definitely worth it, absolutely mint shape. What a machine, I only went in first gear and was like holy ****!

Gonna love it, I know.

 

Congrats, Ive got an 05 R and I love it. Bummer is that the YFZ is a bit faster
but always rember that while the yamahas broke down always haveing to be
repaird you will always be ready to ride.

 

Oh well, I like reliability haha [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
It seems plenty fast for me, I'm used to my Suzuki Eiger haha.
It's all stock right now, next summer I'll probably put a pipe on it and mod the airbox and any thing else I can think of that is worth while for me.
Pretty stoked right now.

Way to go!
I kept my '04 stock for about 8 months now it's a 480 with a ported and polished head, full Yoshimura system, Hotcams stage II, Uni filter and open airbox.
Now it has plenty of power for me!
I didn't do all the mods at once so I could see how much power each additional mod made.

 

One other thing. You will probably be riding trails so you will want to go down 1 tooth in front to a 13, if it hasn't been done already.

 

I'll check that out thanks [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I haven't gotten to take it out yet, I goto university, so I can only go home on the weekends, but I am going home tonight to take her out haha, can't wait!
