Thinking of selling my G450X because I've found myself riding my 2T these days more so the 450 has kind of become a spare taking up garage space.

It's a 2009 model with 3800km / 110hrs on the clock.
Enduro spec, has never been licenced on the road.
Mechanically it is 100% at present.
Cosmetically it has plenty of bumps and scratches. Dropped it many times. Sticker kit is starting to lift in a few places. Still original plastics.
I used the bike mostly for bush/dune riding and funduros. No races.
Bike was used 90% offroad.
Ran the bike most of the time in Low power mode.
Oil changed every 10 hours.
Oil filter changed every 20 hours.
Bike does not use oil in between oil changes.
Engine has never been opened.
Distilled water and coolant used in radiator. No tap water.
Bike serviced at JkWorks and Donfords.

Accessories:
Touratech bash plate
Front brake disc guard
Suspension setup by Martin Paetzold, upgraded heavier blue rear spring and front spings
Ohlins rear shock
Folding front break and clutch levers
Fork air bleeder valves
Acerbis Handguards

Parts that have been replaced in the past 6-12months (500-1000km):
New Mitas C02 rear, only 150km. Still has its knobblies on its knobblies
Valve clearance checked and adjusted at Donfords last month
Starter motor rewound
New alternator
New rear wheel bearings
New rear breakpads
New rear master brake cylinder seal kit and brake fluid
New radiator
New protaper hand grips
New clutch plates
New battery
New decompression lever

Parts I would consider changing in the next 500-1000km:
Swing arm bearings
Front wheel bearings
Chain and spockets

The only mechanical problem I've had with the bike was a recurring hot start issue. This was initially solved by replacing the decompression lever. 1200km later the issue came back, replaced the decompression lever again but did not solve the issue this time. Adjusted the shims for the valve clearance and the problem is gone. Bike starts very easy hot or cold now.

Price R35,000
Bike is in Blouberg
