Difficult to geta test ride on your learners ya recokon? Might move up to one of these or a Husky Te 450 or something next summer, dont mind the extra servicing. Hardly get to touch tth WRR.

Poses the question, as my next Dual sport should I buy a TE450 630 or your WR after you have tricked it all out for me

Tell you what... You buy a 09 or later TE450 or 510 now and do a rebuild by the end of October; I'll then swap you the tricked out WR with a fresh set of plastics in November.

i'll test ride it for ya

I'll meet you down the street a bit

Those RXVs are fast but pretty fragile going by the example (550 I think) that was at the Pukemanu Ride yesterday. Had handlebar issues.

That was Noel.
He threw it over a 3-4m bank, at speed, and whereas the handlebar mounts snapped, it was relatively unscathed.
So I'm not sure that "fragile" is fair.

Its the internal bits you gotta worry about, not the hardware!

So, in your opinion, does it look like a decent machine for the money? Seems well maintained, but the milage is high,, whats the lifespan of the gearbox etc?? I know the older twinshock 500's eat the hardfacing of the cogs pretty quick. Got first option till tonight. muzz.

I'm probably not experienced enough to take too seriously, but, if everything was looked over when it was cracked open at 62 thou I don't see why the milage should put you off. Can you see it in person to go over it? Might be worth flicking Underground or another Dom owner a PM and asking what he would be checking closely on it

Good luck!

Check the countershaft, (fr sprocket shaft) spline for wear.
They are a weakness, and the crank case needs opening to replace the shaft.
Remove the sprocket, or at the very least, the chain, and fell for spline slopTM.
Listen for excessive top end noise etc.

K. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated.
what about http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=695144567 ?

[dino3310]

what triboy sez, check the countershaft spline..... just a common thing with owners getting sucked into aftermarket longer life steel sprockets that are harder than the shaft steel so the shaft wears prematurely.


that one in hellensville looks a goodie, if its been looked after she should see that speedo double without any probs

Cheaper rego too.

I would have bought this if it had been Red, (My Domi Colour ) its just around the corner from me and as a 2x domi owner sight unseen it checks out for me
