Scalpel Posted June 21, 2021 Share G450X. Nice bike. One of the last models. Ohlins back and front. Great bike once sorted. Edited June 21, 2021 by Scalpel Andrew_Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_Smith Posted June 24, 2021 Share Interesting, nobody wants to touch this bike of mine so we decided to give it a go ourselves. Burned wiring on the stator, there is the culprit. We took it in for a proper rewinding, so ETA is next week. Not sure if there should a bit of play on a flywheel, see video for reference: You can clearly see that the previous owner rode this bike hard/did not look after it if you look inside of the flywheel: Edited June 24, 2021 by Andrew_Smith Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalpel Posted June 24, 2021 Share very interesting bikes the G450x. Once sorted its a great bike. But like you say. No one wants to work on them and if you ask opinions its always negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_Smith Posted June 24, 2021 Share @Hairy on a Davidson I'll try my best, I am still a noob to the world of motorcycling. But hopefully we can sort this bike out so that she can experience some off-road adventures! Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted June 24, 2021 Share From My experience in the BM moto world, its be st to get to know your bike yourself, use the interwebs for info and sort it yourself, to save lots of frustration and cost. Try advrider.com, not sure if they have the 4fiddy bmxes dedicated subforums like they do with the other bms , but there is a whole world of knowledge on there that may just give you the direction and answers you are after. nice bike, I have a thing for BM motos that started with the funduro back in 94… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip, I am currently on the Wild Dog Forum whereby I am pointed in the right direction since a few members have own a G450X before, so making progress at least. For the small time I spend on it so far, I also climbed off with a smile on my face, so eager to get it back up and running. Are you referring to this model perhaps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's with that front /rear tyre combo? Did the previous owner supermoto it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawystertrance Posted June 25, 2021 Share To the renamed fella now proudly mounted on a Davidson, I have to say I'm loving your new avatar, identity and obvious pleasure and enthusiasm on this new lifestyle of yours. It's great to see it finally come to fruition. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
