Ok this is footage of my friend stalling after a jump. This is a perfect example of why you should always have a TRUSTWORTHY spotter. Thankfully neither of us were hurt, other than it felt like my nuts exploded, gashed my chin open, and severe whiplash(obviously). The only thing that resulted was my bent handlebars, which i managed to bend back after i rolled it over doing a stoppie later.Video (http://media.putfile.com/OOPS-33-94)

I miss the powerband, but that's about it. The z is an 05 so the suspension is loads better than the r. It has alot more torque and bottom end, it's alot better in the woods. I don't have to fight to stay in the right gear. It is ALOT shorter though. Right now with the 440 I have to fight to keep the front end down. But all in all i like it alot better than the R for everyday riding. Don't get me wrong the R was fun to ride, but the Z is just alot more practical, and now its actually faster then the R was. :D

No i don't think so, I really like the way the z rides and handles, and especially the way it jumps. If anything i think i would have gotten a raptor 700 just because i want to see how fast i could make it. :devil:

My buddies yfz died right after a landing a big jump at the track as well. It wouldnt restart again and when it was tore down it was cause the crank blew and it locked up.

He was lucky cause it was during practice and there werent many people on the track.

It must be the worst to be in a race and your quad dies with theres people charging right behind you.

Yeah dude that was the worst part. I laid there on the ground for a few min. It felt like my nuts exploded. That was at Milford. Pretty sweet place. 100x better than Perry.

One time in a race I was behind this kid who was going a little faster than I could. So I was giving it my all to keep up. There was this jump, it was a lip to just a sligh dounhill flat land. Nothing to big. mabie 7ft of air. well the kid decides to slow doun just before he hits the jump. I was so close to landing on his back seat. Luckly as soon as his tires touched the ground he hammared doun, I was literaly over him in the air. Kid had no clue it hapened either.
