Picked it up last night. I rode it today and I must say this is the greatest bike I have ridden yet. We rode up to the local cycle parts shop down the road and it just so happens a YFZ comes down there too. He had an HMF and a cam and wanted to race. So we lined up and I took him! It wasn't much about 1/2 a bike, but I couldn't believe it. I'm so glad I got this bike. Time to get some extra money and start the mod game.;)

Thanks guys. This is by far more bike than my 400 was. It just keeps revving and never has to search for power. The front end is so light it just keeps coming up I love it. I picked it up for $4500 straight out of the craight with all updates done. I got it from haydug over at cdealeriders, but this was the last one he had. At least the last new one anyways.

Hey YamaWarr, I do have one complaint that you may be able to hlep me with. It is to do with the thumb throttle. I don't know if all the models were the same, but when I push in on the lever, it's so close to the throttle housing thing that the corner of my glove hangs in there and when I let off the throttle still stays open a little. It's kinda dangerous when trying to make a quick stop. Just wondering if you've experienced the same and if you might know of a fix. Other than that everything is great. Thanks man and I have been on cannondaler I just haven't made a name yet.

i have never liked the throttle design on the cdales..for the primary reason, its shaped odly, in a wrong position, and it hits the throttle housing when WOT..

i was gonna put a 400ex throttle on it..but im too lazy, so when i took my quad to champion motorsports they actually took my whole throttle assembly and turned it up a few degree's..now i can hit the trhottle harder and longer and easier..:confused: who knows but it works!

oh and sparky450AR - they are carlisle trailwolves - not banshee rear tires but are infact the warrior front tires!

Congrats on the new quad! I have a 400ex throttle assy, I just haven't put it on yet. It's def. a better setup, but just keep playing with the angle of the throttle, you can find a happy spot usually.

Nice quad, I'm looking at buying a Cannondale too now that they are so cheap and giving my 400 to my dad, I hope I get a Dale too, but I still love my 400:p

That's a sweet looking quad! ;) I really like my LT, ambivalent about the Raptor, but I may make a trade for a moto sooner than I expected...

When you say change the angle are you meaning the angle of the whole throttle assembly or just the lever?
