Just bought a 450 LTD after 10 years without one! Only problem is the engine is very noisy, leaks oil, runs badly over 3000 rpm and gearbox linkage keeps moving so the selector moves so far down after a few changes that I cant get gears!!! I'm looking for a replacement engine and gearbox. How easy is it to find a good used one and are they easy to swap? Any other options that won't break the bank???

Reset the shift linkage to factory and check the shifter pedal e.t.c. so long as its not an internal problem that could be an easy fix. As for the rest I'd go for a carb rebuild in case that explains poor running over 3k then consider your options. For the same amount of work as an engine swap you might find this one is worth the repair, hard to say at this point.

OK Thanks for the info. I have set up the linkage and all is well. It runs nice and smoothly when riding normally now but still rough if I rev it up high at standstill so you are probably right about the carbs..... a job for the winter!
