Get a yfz 450 man. I had an 07 just keep changing your oil and filter every 10 hours or so. I had well over 6000 km before I took the top end apart to rebuild it. Piston ring cylinder wall cams and valves were like brand new.
Put new piston and ring in it rode another 3000 km sold it.
Best quad ever never had one problem and I drove the pizz out of it.
Never needed choke ever even when outside for well over 2 weeks would fire first push of the button.
The thing ripped now I want another one.

No way man get a 07 yfz they have that direct oil injection at the base of the piston every stroke. So they don't have the problems the old ones did.
But Ltrs are sweet too. Just would always get a yfz 450 instead.

Heres a link to all you ever need to now about the LTR
Suzuki LT-R450 Forum :: LTR450HQ.com
As well Ltrs seem to hold there value better than most other sport quads so if you can get a deal there is money to be made for sure
2006&2007 had the strongest trannies which is a common problem with any ltr.
Also make sure it has a shift pin relocation kit also a common problem.
In 2008 the header pipe was redesigned and new map allowing for 1-2 more hp
2009 saw a clutch upgrade
Add a cherry bomb remove baffle and airbox lid =7hp according to yoshimura
If there treated right and with a few upgrades they are pretty bulletproof and the fuel injection system is downright awsome best FI system in any sport quad.
My quad with just a Fuel Filter, pipe, and PCV was able to beat every quad I came across in brule including a yfz480 all except KFX Drm Rippers nuts NOS breathing kfx
As well I have an 09 exhaust, yoshimura PIM fuel controller and an entire 2006 parts quad I would give you a wicked deal just to get them out of my garage.

both of my boys raced ltrs since 2006(CMRC),(and stilll do) wouldnt buy anything else. Almost bullet proof, stock. Oldest boy runs 2007 HiComp Piston,Dyno tuned Holeshot every time, when he wants too.:d Very reliable.Gained about 7hp in the midrange and 2 on top end with piston alone. Extremely noticable over stock. Also have Ohlin shocks, Rides like a Cadilac!!
