Well, heres my own 450 that blew up on the track last fall. (Grenaded) I got it back to the house got the motor pulled out. It took me forever to find parts for it. Since its a 08 things are starting to get hard to find. Cases and things like that are discontinued. But I ended up finding what I think is an 05 bottom end. There were a few things different from the 08 too the 05 so I had to take both bottom ends and mismatch some parts out of both to make one good one.  I had the Crank rebuilt, new main bearings, and a few other bearings. All new seals and gaskets. Brand new cylinder and 13.5-1 high compression piston. Thank goodness the head was ok it only had about 15 hours on it with all brand new titanium valves and new springs and seals. New timing chain and i put the motor back in the bike. Cleaned the carb, dumped out the year old gas. Heres some pics for those that are interested and ill drop 👇🏻 a first start vid in the comments. She runs great now time for some cosmetic upgrades!!!
