The 2003 models have the best 525 engine. Lightest rotating mass. Fast revving. Does it have an electric start? I know some guys have converted theirs to electric start.
Is it a 4 speed? If so, 5th and 6th gear are not hard to add on.
Check for oil leaks and coolant leaks around the water pump.
Make sure all of the electronics work--lights, blinkers, tail light, brake light, high/low, etc.
Valves adjustment done today. It was my first time ever adjusting valves on anything. I ordered the Hot Cams shim kit. Everything went smooth, it runs great and starts easily again. New white plastics are on their way.
1 cylinder bike with 3 lobes on the cam? So it must have a variable valve timing system like vtec? Way cool didin't know this was common on bikes. I'm thinking about getting into bikes soon, something like a dual sport or supermoto.

Look closer. Center lobe actuates a forked rocker arm for the two exhaust valves.
Well it worked. The 2000 wr400 I built I invested a total of $1600 in. I just traded it flat out for a 2003 klx400 (drz400). Way, WAY better bike for the street.
It just needs new plastics but with that replaced I'm sitting on a high $2k bike. Profit was just made yo!
