Hi,

I just got a new TRX450ER in the factory box.
It hasn't been started yet.
I need help and recommendations of how to treat it correctly for the first hours
Should I start it with the original oil (which it came with)?
How long should I ride with the first oil till I need to replace it?
How to ride; half throttle, 10min on first gear, 10min on 2end etc?
What about the transmission oil?
which is the best type of fuel? I live outside the US, we have Octane 95 and 99
here. Should I use the higher one?
What is the most recomended oil?

Thanks
Eitam
