jeepwm69 7,751 Posted July 26, 2022 Glad you found us. If you look in the header bar at the top of the page there's a "service manuals" button. Follow the link to free factory service manuals in PDF format. Good to save for future use. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcsman 1,409 Posted July 26, 2022 You will be glad to know there are tons of 450 owners around here. You do have the 2nd generation 450 with choice of 2wd/4wd. Being a 450ES owner myself and seeing as tho yours has been sitting awhile I would suggest taking a look at the following thread. There are many with ES issues that could be solved by taking advantage of the tips @retro has laid out so well. Yes he also has an ES Honda. Good luck and have fun...... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKATV 850 Posted July 27, 2022 Welcome to the forum! The 450 is a solid machine, they don't build them like that anymore Will last a very long time with a little care and maintenance Post a few pictures when you can-we all like pics! Hope to see you around! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,147 Posted August 1, 2022 When you pull that front brake hand lever , will it get firm and not touch the handle bar ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intimnasc 10 Posted August 1, 2022 Yeah just takes strength but it will stop. Just wanted something a little easier for the wife. She has no hand strength. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
