Does someone know where to download the shop manuals / maintenance manuals for the RMX450Z 2009 or 2010?

There wasn't a 2009 RMX-450 and a bike this new should have come with a manual, didn't you get it when you bought it?

No, I don't have one yet.

But I'm hesitating between a plated RMZ450-E with injection and a RMX450Z. I was looking for the differences between the two bikes referring:

- gearing inthe gearbox, are they both wide ratio boxes?
- shape of the frame for the IMS aftermarket gastank, are they equal?
- maintenance intervals, are they different?
- power output

No one has tested a RMX states side, and I've only seen one RMX video test and that wasn't much of a test.  I did sit on one at the International motorcycle show in Novi Michigan and I do like it.  The instrument display and the electric starting is enough to make me wait for the RMX.  

The video did say that it had a wide ratio transmission.

The frame is very close, so I would expect the current RMZ IMS 2.6 gal. gas tank will fit.  The RMX also comes with a 18" rear tire.

They did say that it was tuned for more bottom end power.  However, if you always ride in the lower rpm range with an RMZ or any other MX bike, you will get more life out of the motor.

So if you like the idea of electric starting and need a nice enduro instrument cluster, then wait for the RMX.  And really, if you are an enduro rider then get an enduro and that's the RMX.  That's what I'm doing.

Teh italian importer (www.valentiracing.it) says the RMX is half way between a RMZ450 and a DRZ400E.
The maintainance as well!

Let's see what the manual will say.

Here is a link to many free maintenance manuals. Warning, it's free but very slow, due to many people downloading from it.

Talking to a owner and a dealer I found out that the RMX has a wider ratio and wider enough to travel at 90-100 km/h with no problem and the engine at medium rpms.

The oil for the RMZ is a full synthetic, while the RMX accepts a good 10w40 oil.

The RMZ450E has more than 50 HP ath the wheel, while the RMZ450E has 41 HP.
But they both rev very quick so the RMX is strong at the low rpms, very similar to the RMZ.
