The chap who said Kim reliability don't know shit. They are very unreliable and he says it when he is next to a Yamaha. Yamaha are one of the most reliable bikes around.

Hey man love the bikes. I own a 2016 yz450f 60th anniversary myself but not the wr and I was wondering if you can tell me the vin on your bike so I can order the rear fender with the tail
Light? They require a vin to order

Suzuki's rmx450z is a very reliable enduro, beast of a bike
