2002 wr426

looking at trade my honda rancher for a wr 426 back to bikes never rode one not sure what to look for when i go look at it are they reliable bikes good trail bikes or more for wide open places will be trail ride with my son (crf100) and wife (xr200r).
i have owned a crf450 and a xr 650 in the past as far as big bore bikes go is the 426 set up to handle like a crfx would or more race bike style, really not really sure much about these bikes any info would be great thanks

Now I'm not 100% sure on this but I am thinking that is one of the hard to start bikes. But then again as a WR it should have electric start. I think the chassis is decent for that year of bike and they are a cheap one to buy to get into it again. Buy cheap and when you sell it you won't lose any money or much money. I am thinking valves might be a PITA but can't say for sure. Get onto the yamaha boards and research as well.

Yes hard to start, but the fun throttle and torque were amazing on the 426.
