Default any problems with your 450R?

I'm going to sell my banshee, and thinking of buying a 450r, has anyone had any problems with theirs since you've bought one? Are they pretty reliable? Is there anything else I should know or be aware of?

Thanks a bunsh guys

My cousin had his lock up after about 20hrs on it. The dealer said the top of the head wasn't getting any oil and the cam holder cracked and siezed the lifter and the piston hit the valve.

Do you know why that happened? Just messed up from the factory? Is this a common issue?

Thanks

No problems at all. I would like more rebound damping on the rear shock.

Do any of you guys wish you had reverse? I would love to have it, but I think I'd rather have power and handling over a quad with reverse.

I ride with some kids that have 450r and they love them, i would not be afraid of a honda they are almost bullet proof. Just have to kick start though but that isn't a prob for you since you had a banshee before
