You will find the need to ride,way higher then your boss will like. The 450r is a great quad. Mine is over ayear old and there hasn't been a single problem with it.

You need to get the starting procedure down. When cold, I use full choke. Usually will strart first kick, even if the bike has sat for weeks. The second it starts turn the choke off (otherwise the engine will race......not a good thing for a cold engine). Baby the throtle for a couple of minutes until it warms up.

When hot, do NOT even tough the throtle! Hold the hot start, and it will start first kick.

I met a young girl out on the trail who was trying to start a 450. She had no idea there was a hot start button. I told her to pull it, and it started first kick.

And, the rear shock tends to rebound to fast, even when set on full slow damping.
