      If you do a build. I vote for a flip series. You got 1k into purchase. Set a budget. Fix it up sell it. Show the process of deciding what parts you chose an why. Even show dealing with potential buyers. Then take the money you make from it and buy or trade up. See if you can go from a 99 to a 24 model year of machine

      I bought a 23 kx250 as well, i won’t lie i wanted to pick up a 2 stroke 250 and clean it up to have the 4stroke and 2stroke option. So that’s my vote 🤣

      Hey Matt, nice quad but I wanted to tell you that it’s a TERRIBLE idea to hit the throttle when trying to start those 450s. They’ve been known to actually blow the bottom end out when you try to start it that way. Awesome quad!!

    • @garagemcmatt
      @garagemcmatt Час назад +1

      @@bryceparmer4546 yes I know about the kick back. they put a sticker on the thumb throttle in 2007 saying to not do that. This bike is going to need new intake valves. I still have all the oem internals for the starter assembly. I'll probably install all new while im in there.

    Valves need to be shimmed. Also should never give 450s gas when starting them. 2 pumps of throttle then start. Also could need to be jetted a little better.
