Not bad at all. I'm sure you'll see the Hondas doing better as more racers get em dialed in.

i hope he is back to his old self...when he was here at birch creek he pulled the holeshot in both motos with eaze, and led a majority of laps in moto-1 untill he got tired...moto-2 he came out and he paced him self enuff to hold gust off the entire race to win moto-2 to take 2nd overall....

Harlen definatly got the money shot of a crash in production A class. I was standing next to him when all i saw was a couple of quads cartwheeling through the dust . Nice to meet you Harlen.

yep harlen was pissed that he missed it, but he did tell me to keep an eye out for a killer wreck shot. i hate wrecks but sometimes they make the best pics.

I think alot more of the pro's will go to the Honda's!! Joe Byrd is rode one at the last GNC and He did better on it then he did on the yfz which it could have just been a bad race but everyone knows what byrd did last year on his honda powered crf450 !! I think they should make a pro class for the crf450's and other custom bikes after they get the production class going good !!

A shock dyno is a small simple device used to evaluate the piston movement inside your suspension.It has a small recorder mounted to the bike/quad and at each end of the shock.You make a couple laps on the track and then download the info to a computer and see if the shock is working properly,is the valving bottoming or too stiff.A friend of mine purchased one and I can't wait to get it on my Cannondale,he has used it only on bikes so far but with extremely great results.Hope this helps.

I doubt it. This year the pro class is still gonna be mostly blue.

:confused: yea this year it will !! But they will learn after they get ahold of the a 450r and put all the a-market goodies on it !! Yamaha has built the best bike they will ever build!! me myself dont go by brands I go by wut is the best machine to race at that time but i sure dont wanna buy a POS !! I think the yami is the best bike right not but I have rode a yami and a crf and they are both really close powerwise but the yamis handlin sucks but the yami is also alot cheaper to build !! And the crf is way way way more confortable on my rear than the yami !! Just my Opion not trying to piss anyone off !~!

The Yamaha handles better than the Honda. Most seem to compare the two like this.... Honda 450 = 400ex handling & Yamaha 450 = 250R handling.

All I can do when I read a post like this is laugh. Have you ever even ridden a YFZ? They are BY FAR the best handling stock quad and when built up to mx, nearly as good as aftermarket framed quads.

ive owned almost every quad worth owning and i can atest that the yfz is the best handling stock quad for mx period. and its damn close to being one of the best in the woods.

I have raced a 400ex stock arms stock axle everything stock !! I have also raced a yfz stock everything accept smaller tires !! The handling didnt feel as good to me nor was it almost as confortable, I like the yfz and plan on getting one to race next year, but i don think there handling is as good as a 400ex thats just my opion so dont bi*tC* at me !!

For you guys saying Farr isnt in his groove...I think you guys completely forgot that last year he didnt even race the Pro class.....all he raced was Pro Production.....maybe that could be one of the reasons.....anyways...I'm rooting for GUST!!!
