Have you watched the vid on youtube with Mark Eastwood on a CRF 450 he demolishes the lot.

i think jean michel bayle rode it how she needed to be ridden, also I'm sure dave thorpe might have had a handle on em
After a week of waiting the forks are back from getting serviced and rebuilt .
New bush's , oil seals , dust caps , ect .
There was some pitting on the tubs , but had to expect that with the bike being 25 years old .
Will have to keep a look out for a new set .
Took the monster out to my parents farm and decided to take it for a blast up the hills .
Thing is a flying machine and was running great till the track I was on started getting really ruff. bike stuttered a few times then came back to life then stuttered again and died.
Was gutted as 8 miles in the middle of nowhere and had no reception on my mobile . pushed it couple of miles back till I got a reception then phoned for the recovery team lol.
Still has plenty compression and nothing seems out of place ect.
I am suspecting a lose wire or the likes.
Haven't had the chance to check all the electrics yet but pulled the plug and seemed ok but not getting a spark.
Ach well the adventure continues .
much have gotten pretty rough to shake the electrics loose. luckily it shouldn't be to hard to find the culprit theres not really much electrical stuff on them lol
Was rough as fuck , track had been partially washed away and boulders and rocks all over the shot .
When I get a chance this week will get to the bottom of it .
Might be the kill switch or woodruff key .
Turns out it was the stator that was fucked ,
After a bit of research and tiny wee bit of moding I managed to replace the stator and fly wheel with a Honda cr 250's .
The monster is alive and kicking .
Even better I didn't need to buy it either
