para Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm 90% there on buying a used '99 WR 400. ANy problem areas I should look for? I had a friend that bought a used CRF 450 and had quite a bit of work with the cylinder head. Without taking the thing apart, any good way of assessing how worn the engine is?

Ryan09 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It should be fine, iv only heard good things about the 400 and 426. The crf's are prone to problems as they have titanium valves which cause problems and are changed out for SS ones. Iv read about smelling the oil, apparently you should be able to tell if the engines bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
