2006 RMZ450

[Brandon Mercer]

I have a 06 rmx450 and I bought it from a guy and when I crack it up it will not stay running, but if I go ride it for a minute and come back it will stay running for a little bit. I change the sparking plug I out a NGK in it. But I loomed at my air filter and it so dirty it's not funny. I ordered one Last night tho. Something else on my forks the scrowes that hold the air in are gone and I don't know how to replace it so every time I hit a bump it's so hard it tries to throw me off the bike. Does anyone know anything.

That is the bike

I know a few things but that’s about it…haha..jk! One thing I know about your bike is “safety first” I’m sorry to say this but if I were you I would not ride that bike until you get these mechanical issues fixed. You did good by asking for help here but it is very difficult to diagnose the problem with your bike from what you have described. Is there shop or a good motorcycle mechanic nearby that can actually take a look at it? Cuz that’s what I would suggest.

..oh and from the picture, to me looks like your chain is way too tight and or needs to be replaced soon. ?
