[Dan_Guetter]

[Ruby Soho]

YFZ-250 blaster replacement.


pfft i wish

[Punk'd]

Here you go boys

http://img214.echo.cx/img214/73/y0ca.png

[Ruby Soho]

raptor 700? new body?

and a new quad

[Steve-O]

mx yfz and xc yfz my guess anyway :macho

[jakesteak26]

Anybody heard the specs on the new yfz? Anything new? Ican't wait that long!!:eek2:

[250xridamatt]

ummm, those definately dont look like two different versions of yfz's, if thats what you meant. Besides, i dont think Yamaha would do that, they are going to leave that to companies like atk and gas gas.

[DH400EX]

i think they got something new for yfz, and change the plastic again on the 350

[Cr85rRida]

Mabey the banshee has the rappy plastics now :confused:

[Mxjunkie]

with my luck they will do a badass banshee for the last year and I'll be kicking my self for fixing the old one :blah:

[DH400EX]

we all kno it will be a kick *** shee cause its the las year. better start kickin....:macho

[Cody_300ex]

Thrown in the white flag and said to hell with quads, hondas too good?:confused:

[FoxRacing81]

haha!

My guess is 700 rappy, 700 grizzly, 400 raptor (possibly), remodeled and true 450 yfz. That's about all I'm hoping for...along with a sick *** banshee!

[EvilJester400EX]

I would hate to see a "true" 450 Yamaha on the stock lineup.

[n00b on a 400ex]

im sure theyll be sweet, but if i ever buy a new quad itll be either a honda. or if polaris ever comes out with a 450 (well, if it isnt a 450 trailblazer :cool: )

[yellow400ex05]

It's going to be a 250cc quad for a replacement of the blaster.
Just look at the pic closely. I think it looks like a small quad. And since they just recently came out with the 450 there obviously not going to make another one thats big they have to focus on the smaller quads.

I'm just curious but what was the last quad Honda came out with before the 450r?

[TRX500]

800 Grizzly, 450 EFI, and a 700 EFI Rappy:blah:

[Hon300ex]

the quads in the picture just look like raptor 350 to me....

[TGW_400ex]

Originally posted by Punk'd

http://img214.echo.cx/img214/73/y0ca.png

Looks like a Raptor and a YFZ:eek2:

[TRX500]

It was posted on another site that it will be as I stated above. The guy stated that the Griz is a 800 on a different frame, and that Brock Parker and Marcus Gonzalez will be racing them for him. He also said the 450 will be EFI.

[Mxjunkie]

it sounds like they are trying to use street bike technogly with all this efi and such. I like the good old carb my self, atleast I can understand what I'm working on lol

[Tommy 17]

i just hope they put an aluminum frame on the yz250f so i can buy one:p :macho

maybe a 250 4-stroke cus honda,suzuki,and kawasaki have all got one:confused:

[Bush0102]

Originally posted by Marshmello

yeah, they'll probably do a 250, but its not gonna be anything like a 250EX. This 250 is gonna be fast.

yeah i think the grizz is gonna go up to 800 and get EFI, the YFZ is going to a true 450, the banshee will stay the same for its last year, the kodiak 450 may get EFI, the kodiak 400 may get IRS, and i think the raptors are going to stay the same.


we'll see.

[Mxracer53]

all yz dirt bikes will have aluminum frames

[n00b on a 400ex]

lets see...34hrs and 43 minutes from right now

[smr]

it's a 250 fourstroke and new mini quad to compete with the cobra...I just hope it's cheaper.

[XANDADA]

Rumor has it that its gonna be a 250cc two stoke borrowed from the yz250 bike and put into a slightly modified yfz450 frame for mx
-and -
the current 450 will be actually 450cc this year and be marketed as the xc model:chinese:

[jakesteak26]

what makes it a xc bike?
:confused:

[jakesteak26]

...And who's
keeping track of time?? getting impatient.:grr: sure they didn't mean TONITE?at midnight?!

[n00b on a 400ex]

28 hours from this post (4pm alaska time, thats also 5 western and 8 eastern, yamaha will show its new models at tomorrow midnight eastern time)

[hmrubicon]

looks like the 700 cc raptor predictions might be true? i found this link that might gives us a hint. sorry no photos or specs but a hint. i found this on yamahas UK site . here is the link
http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/products/atv/leisure/index.jsp

[Out_Sider]

ahh dude, if they make a 250 fourstroke quad (yz250f motor) im gonna have to get it... doubt they will, but i'd sure be nice

[FoxRacing81]

Take the color suvey at Yamaha-motors ( http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/feedback/05SportATVColorSurvey/ )

[sampleez]

it would be pretty bad***** if they have a SE model with red plastics and a black frame and wheels

[yamadjs08]

Yeah, that is deffinately hinting to a bigger and better raptor than we have now, "Daddy Raptor is Coming" aha, wonder what yamaha has for us!!!:devil:

[stalefish_132]

if i am correct only 23minutres and 41 seconds remain!! hopfully they come out with somthing new like a 250 four stroke:)

24 hours as of now

[Admin]

Less than 24 Hours :D

It is awesome to hear everyones opinion of what they think, but many are very far off what I will reveal at Midnight :cool:

[Mxjunkie]

I wanna see this bigger and badder rap! I kinda liked our 01 we had :)

[250xridamatt]

That would be fun knowing the truth and laughing at peoples stupid guesses. Like what are they smoking? :confused:

any body thinkin it might be a little bigger than a 700,
maybe a 750 or 800 just to make sure that they will be faster than any other quad
just came to mind
1/500 chance of it happening tho
the engine might be a little to big

[SRH]

yfz 450 aluminum framed like the yz 250 , round hodna style swingarm, longer travel front end or redesigned shocks but at the stock width stance redesigned swingarm, true 450

[PurePerformance]

I am certain that Yamaha will unveil their new 2wd WR450F. It has the same WR format, but the front wheel is hydraulically driven.

As for the Blaster & Banshee, 06 will be the last year for them. I have heard rumors that they will use a completely new platform with a YZ250F engine to replace the Blaster.

A new 700R Raptor is also gonna be released. Well, ******** or some other ATV site/mag accidentally put up their link to the news and it was titled as "Revamped YFZ & 700R Raptor for 06." I believe it was a mistake. One of the guys at YFZcentral saw the page but when he tried posting the link, it seems that they have deleted it already. Too bad he didn't save a screen shot or saved the information about them.

Also, a couple of Yamaha dealer representatives over at Central says that Yamaha will shock people with their new ATVs and even Motorcycles. This year seems like Yamaha stepped up and listened to the consumers.

Just spill the beans already:blah:


EDIT :: Here is the pic of the WR250F 2-Trac

[Dan_Guetter]

Thanks noob!!

[Ruby Soho]

if yami comes out with a brand new raptor 700, which is top of the line, or fixes the yfz and possibly makes it race ready. everyone who rushed to buy one this past year is going to kick themselfs in the nuts:D

WOW!!!!:eek: Check out that bike, first ever 2wd dirtbike, thats so innovative its rediculous...go yamaha!

[Tommy 17]

they def are not the 1st... just the 1st of the big 4...

i forget the other bikes name but it was made awhile ago.... i think it used a chain to run the front wheel...

[Shawn H]

The wait sucks but I bet the Rappy is totally redesigned: All I heard at the 6hrs of Wi is everything is going to blow our minds!!!!!

A few things I heard were:Not saying on what tho>
Fuel injection, electrical redesigned(Hmm thats a hard 1 lol),Some crap with the tail lights,and the rear suspension changed>

[TGW_400ex]

[MadMax27]

[Mxjunkie]

http://www.quadwelt.de/5030129611129d503/503012967212ca023.html

true 450cc yfz now!

satte 449 ccm


translation for raptor

One can at the RAPTOR yet what improve? One can! Impressively Yamaha with the Update of its success model reports itself YFM 660 R. however to designate it simply as an Update would be incorrect. The new RAPTOR 700 is a vehicle new totally that jointly has me the previous just once the design. The hammer is people, the 700er and hangs the fair slat again once a piece more highly for the competition! Past the times when one had to accept an unstable feeling on the large blue. Wide (1170mm) and long (1845mm) the new is. So and with improved load work, the part with deeper focal point hammers through the terrain. Also the slight weight of 180 kilos is there helpful. The frame stern is completely out of Alu and reminds inevitable of renntaugliche motorcycles out of same house. The culmination of the new draft is however the motor! That newly was developed totally and goes like the sow! Thanks to electronic motor management, a wide number of revolutions volume to be dosed optimally stands to the decree. Always sufficiently achievement in all life situation. The 700er gets through out of the cellar into high revolutions cleanly. To be sure we many a the aggressive characteristic of the predecessor missen, but the impression deceives. Thanks to balance wave, the motor runs more quietly and more cultivated. That more at achievement is better beherrschbar for the RAPTOR-pilot. Shortly said convinces, the entire package. Quadwelt was able to win recently a first load impression on the presentation in Dresden. That and yet more, together with the fantastic Actionfotos we present you with the test in the next edition.

heres a half arse at the yfz

Yamaha has equally yet one draufgelegt. Next to the brand-new RAPTOR, the Japanese also another improved YFZ 450 introduced. That counted anyway previously as the race-Quad simply. Most racing of the past both seasons became both into USA and in Europe on a 450er Yam won. Out of the box, the power package can go at the start and convinces with knackiger achievement and very good Handlichkeit. On that did nothing change. Changed one the cubic number on satisfied 449 ccm. Cylinder head, carburetor learned a thorough revision. The motor forfeited nothing at power, in the opposite. It is however thanks to a more favorable torque progress very much better beherrschbar and dosierbar.
That makes the YFZ however not beginner suitable. Now as ever belongs the blue into the terrain in order to become of athletes pilotiert. It goes incredibly forwards. Thanks to improved feather elements, one holds that very cleanly on course. The wing controls now an Excenter to spans of the chain and was trimmed on easily. The new YFZ brings only 159 kilos by the way on the scales. We introduce you in the next notebook the further development of the given as an ultimatum Serienrenn-Quads and describe our impression. Holland Rennass Joe masses was with at the same time and chats out of the vicinity box. Until there, the photos make you on your Quadwelt the mouth wässrig: -)

[Mxjunkie]

http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/products/atv/leisure/raptor_700.jsp

got this from the cannondale one

ENGINE
One press of the starter button wakes a beast of an engine – an incomparable 686cc of power at your fingertips. Combine this with a lightweight, nimble chassis (the Raptor 700 weighs just 180kg) and a host of groundbreaking ATV features, and you’ve got the leanest, meanest ride there is. From cross-country charging to twisting and turning wooded trails, the Raptor 700 is the lord and master of all terrain. The single cylinder, four-stroke gives the very highest performance over a wide rpm range, while the five-speed manual transmission (plus reverse gear) ensures that the engines power is efficiently supplied to the rear wheels throughout the engines rpm-range.

COMFORT
The Raptor 700 is also designed for comfort on those long days kicking trail. The advanced adjustable suspension, front upper A-arms and steering knuckles are examples of how comfort and handling are carefully balanced. Other refinements include hydraulic twin piston front brakes for increased brake force and a new tire design for improved lateral grip for crisp corner carving. The combination of brute force with tight handling means there’s no ride quite like the Raptor 700

FUEL INJECTION
With the Raptor 700’s state-of-the-art Electronic Fuel Injection you get an accurate and highly efficient electronic fuel mixture supply. This means you get an instant throttle response and an overall enhanced performance.

ALUMINIUM FRAME
A strong yet lightweight high-tension aluminium frame helps improve the power-to-weight ratio for enhanced handling.

LARGE ENGINE CAPACITY
The Raptor 700 has a whopping 686cc liquid-cooled, four-valve, four-stroke SOHC engine, offering high torque on low rpm. Whatever the terrain, whatever the obstacle, it can handle it.

ECCENTRIC AXLE CHAIN ADJUSTER
The Raptor 700 is fitted with an eccentric axle chain adjuster - a novel feature designed to make maintenance easier. The chain is adjusted by simply turning the eccentric axle insert, so keeping the proper tension at all times is simple.

I want to see what thats like for 06:confused:

with EFI if you add a pipe? what happens? you cant jet:confused:

[Fred55]

It automatically compensates for a pipe!

[tedscrappy300]

Originally posted by sEX

It's the same as a fuel injected car or truck. bigger fuel injection/bigger injector. or if it's running fine then just the pipe.
Thats what I would say.

[tedscrappy300]

Originally posted by Fred55

There's your answer.

[tedscrappy300]

I would like to see a yz250f or yz250 in the blaster frame.

[Fred55]

The only really significant change to the yfz that i can see besides it being a true 450..wooopdee do...is this!

[Fred55]

Honda style chain adjustment and a dual piston rear caliper with a YZ style brake rezzie.

[MotoX3]

there goes the neighborhood....

[JRP]

do you guys think the new 449cc yfz is gonna be alot faster then the 450r now. like the difference between a 400ex and a 450r?

Originally posted by Fred55

that is so sweet:D i am actually debating sellin' the 400 for the new raptor:eek: like it has everything a trail rider wants. ill probably wait a year so that the new raptors might have a flaw just like the older raptors tranny

[Fred55]

Im guessing Yamaha learned their lesson on that one! I love the look of the white plastics with silver frame..it looks just so clean

[Blastermax]

Why wouldnt they have put the rezzi shocks on the 700 like the YFZ?:confused:

[Blastermax]

Why wouldnt they have put the rezzi shocks on the 700 like the YFZ?:confused:

[TRX_450]

i love my honda but damn they aint done nuthin for a long time....thinkin bout sellin the 400 for a yamaha....in that survey the black and limegreen looks sick....look alot better wit a green frame to match tho :devil:

[Fred55]

They also now have a 2 wheel drive WR450
http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/products/motorcycles/competition/WR450F_2trac.jsp

wow now im F'n pizzed
raptor is only 686cc
yfz has nothing at all except 17cc up
banshee still looks like chit
and we havnt heard anything about a 250 blaster

but i do give props to that 2 wheel drive bike that looks pretty sick for trails and dunes:)

Originally posted by Marshmello

huh? that new shee looks soo sweet with the white plastic. Still looks like Chit? Banshees are one of the better looking machines out there IMO

[SadisticShee]

Banshees are damn good lookin machines but in stock form they need some work Yamaha don't care about 2 strokes no more its all 4 now....

y the hell do they call it a 700 if its only 26 cc up from a 660:confused:

yes, it will be more like a blaster to yfz,,,,,lol jking,,nobody will know till they get to ride it
its already faster...(2004-2005) than a 450r, and im pretty sure they didnt make the 06 slower:p

[tedscrappy300]

does anyone have anything on the new blaster?

[Ruby Soho]

i hope something good

[JRP]

yea the 04 and the 05 yfz may be faster dyno wise but whenever i seem to race a stock one(stock for stock) i always seem to win. I didnt know since there movin it up to a 449 this year if its gonna make a big difference. thanks

yeah for GNCC but its worthless for the motocross guys...


what they needed to do was put it on the 450 so people would actually have a good frame... they wouldn't be cracking them all the time like they do now on the 450s...

How did honda let you down? They haven't posted anything on the larger displacement quads? Do you have some other info that is not available yet?

[yamadjs08]

Well, maybe all these new changes on the raptor are hinting to a big bore sport quad from maybe honda or suzuki? I mean why would yamaha do all of these changes to a machine that was already the best in its class? Something has to be up, yamaha is not the kind to spend money unless they need too.:blah:

[wvspeedfreak]

I heard they are putting titanium valve stems on the Raptor 80.That's it.:D

[bullitz400]

Yam's finally started using technology in their quads that Cannondale started w/. The new 06 Raptor 700 will sport electronic fuel injection, an aluminum frame, and a new style chain adjuster. They've fixed the stability problems according to the site and made it into an open class racer. It's not been released to the public in the US and won't be till tonight at midnight but it is currently on the European sites since they released it a day earlier over there. Check it out. Oh yeah, the YFZ is still 439cc's, Banshee/Blaster's still in the lineup, and so is the Rator 660.

i dont think the blaster and banshee will be in this years lineup due to the 2 stroke ban and ****.

I dont think they are having those problems over seas. Its just here.....

So things may be different line up wise. They need to replace 2 quads......;)

Yea, and I think it would only cause more problems, any info on how fast it might go? I wouldn't think it would go that fast, but then again I've never heard of a 2wd Dirtbike.:confused:
