[kxf450tough]

I want a new kfx450r, but i ride enduro in the woods and on rocky hills. My uncle had a raptor 350 and broke joints and bent arms about everytime we went out. How will the kxf450r hold up. I ride a kx450f right now and im trying to convert to a 4wheeler . can any fill me in.
thanks

i ride on hard packed dirt through woods trails rock hill climbs sticks everywhere and everything is holding up really well. Just get skid plates and everything will be fine.

I run mostly desert and riding and it's real rocky here...no problems at all, i've put loctite on most bolts so they wont come loose..

I XC race it with rocks, tree roots and you name it. No problems here yet. I have chassis and swing arm skids but not skids for my a-arms yet.

I have bounced off a tree or 2 and smacked some pretty nice size rocks and everyhting is still in good shape. It should be fine for you once you put some skids on.

You'll want swing arm and chasis at the least, I have PRM swing arm and pro arm for the chasis/frame, got them both from rockymountainatv...If you have some extra money get the skid for a-arms also....)the stock skids are garbage)

i ride like a bat out of hell on the powerlines and alot of rocky trails and my kfx450 holds up better than any other atv ive had, just need skids because i smashed my plastic on the fist day.
