Nope, just put gas in it. That thing is ready right out of the box if you are anywhere near sealevel. :cool:

Bodge pretty much nailed it. :cool:

The rest is up to your own personal preference. Or in other words, making the bike fit you. Adjusting the suspension to fit your weight and riding style. Changing the bars to fit your size and riding position.

Other than that, just go race it and hang on tight. :yeehaw: :yeehaw:

for my 05 I put in heavier springs ( I am a little on the portly side) :yikes: an X-ring chain, and oh yeah, gas :) the thing is the best bike I've ever ridden right out of the crate.

So,
I just today picked up an 05 CR450F.....WooHooo :eek:

About the X Ring chain...Did I hear something about shimming the sprocket when using an X or O Ring?
