Someone to fix my 4 wheeler I'm from southern ,MD . I have a 04 YFZ 450 the engine locked up a 5-6 months ago. I had a couple of shops try and work on it but they just kept on dicking me around. Finally found one that would actually tear it apart like they said they would due. Needless to say they took a little over 2 months to fix it (new crank,rod,piston). I only had it for 27 days and rode it 3 times for less than 10 hrs. Something broke again. Now the shop (if you want the name let me know) that did all the work took 1 month to tell me that they weren't gonna warranty there work. It was obvious to me that the valves were adjusted wrong or not adjusted at all. Now I have my bike at home with parts in boxes 
. I'm having a hard time finding a good shop that can put this back together. I would due this myself but I have no clue as to what goes where or what might be missing so it time for a professional to tear it apart and see what I got. Anyone know of any shops? I will travel some distance for good work. Thanks KEN

Just got my quote today. $2441.00 wtf. Everything from the head to the crank will be getting replaced (the cylinder will be renickeled). I know this place is awesome but come on. I've had people that I liked and disliked refer me to them. I think I could buy a new engine for that price.

Looks a tad high, but not to bad. for the money you should go to Hot cams web site, check out some big bore kits, you can buy a head thats all done up for about the same as the one they are selling, and big bore cylinder for close to the same!!!
they, also put down like 55-70 hp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll look in a bit ,but im not gonning bigger than a 450. Next year im gonna start racing at local track (budscreek) and in southern penn. I just want to get it together for the trip to hatfield mccoy after the new year. I'm kinda the one who organizes it and my friends won't go without me for some reason. Anyways thanks for the input.

The YFZ's are known for having problems with the batteries. I think they say they are overcharging. If you run with the headlights on all the time it will help but not cure the problem. Besides who wants to constantly run around with the lights on. Like Noyzee said before you can get quality aftermarket parts put on there and make more hp with them for the same price as what you would be paying just to replace the factory stuff.
