Wr450f 2016 Service Manual
It looks like I'm set to pick up a motard this spring (//whenever I find a good deal). I was originally set on a drz400sm, but the prices here seem kind of steep for a Victorian era bike; the going rate seems to be $4000, regardless of year or mileage. I caught a wild hair and searched for wr450f's and they look like a pretty good deal, 2007+ models for. I Had a 2005 WR450f SM, I put 500 hard hours on it before I sold it.
I checked the valves three times, once at 100 hours once at 250 and again at 500 when I sold it; they were still in spec. Change the oil every 1000k because it has a low oil volume compared to some other bikes (1.2l), but it isn't difficult. Also get a reusable oil filter. I would change my oil after every really hard ride, or ever 1000 miles. WR's are sold as street legal dual sports in the UK, and are designed for road use.
