Hey guys just got a used 2004 450 SM, it was used and bought new by Walt Disney as a movie bike and as part of there motorsports stunt show. The plastics are pretty beat up and seem to be impossible to find, any idea where they can be had? i mainly need a rear fender.
I checked the valves they are within spec and mechanically the bike seems to be in good shape, it starts in no more than two rotations of the engine. I had to put a new fuel pump in it, and for those who also need a pump, an airtex e7000 is a direct replacement for the factory walbro pump.
The only issue i have is rarely the bike will just flat die when idling but will fire right back up. Also when hard on the throttle and i clutch and drop the throttle it will die like i hit the kill switch, again it will fire right back up. Is this a tuning issue? Id like to get that taken care of as it really cramps my spirited street riding style...
