Ecu

Just wondering what you guys think the most reliable one would be
I've heard many different opinions:
Yfz's are a soft engine
Honda is a soft gearbox
Suzuki is the most reliable stock but is slow
Don't know if any of that is true

Also what kind of maintenance do they need when being raced ? I will change oil and filters every race day but after how many hours does it need rebuilt what does the rebuild consist of?

I know this is a 2 stroke forum but any help is appreciated
 
honda is always a good option. I went with a trx when I moved to a 450 and couldn't be happier.

the honda engines are super reliable, I built my race engine in 2010 and have just over 50hrs on it since and its still running strong. (all hours are race time running WFO)
and it's only the 06+ honda gearboxes that are weak.

if you have any questions about the hondas let me know.
 
Honda... Never get anything else. Best 450 and the cheapest. I traded my Honda for a yfz and hated it. Had it for about 2 weeks and traded it for another honda. For the cheapest route, send your shocks to gtthunder get a mx link get a sparks exhaust if you can afford it if not get a motoworks, get a web cam. Don't mess with that hot cam sh*t. Not sure what mx a arms.
