why you shouldnt stop by a dealership on the way home

[Pappy]

[One_Bad_400]

[sportraxrider10]

[Pappy]

so after walkin the showroom this salesman walks up and starts chattin with me. he actually knew what the deal was with the quads!!! first time ive met one that didnt know more then me...but at the same time was well versed in each quads specs:cool:

[Glow Plug]

[infantry317]

[JDiablo]

pappy,c'mon your going to have us waiting all night until you tell us what happened,and that means tomorrow.......if nethin you should buy a chopper:devil: :blah:

[Out_Sider]

he finally did the right thing and bought a YAMAHA!!!! ;) I've been wanting a yfz ever since the day i first saw them..im deffinatly getting one........some day :blah:

[JDiablo]

keep dreaming man,lmao,but ur not the only one:blah:

[Out_Sider]

wat are u sayin. i could get a yfz right now, its just the fact im keeping the ex til im 16

i think the blue ones look soo much better, i dunno it jsut might be me.

[Pappy]

yep i bought the yfz. i was all set to buy the cannondale when my wife found out. all afternoon she ragged my rear end about no local dealers blah blah blah.

so on the way home we swung into TWIGG CYCLES hoping to get a glimpse of the new trx450r. thiers are due in anyday so there wasnt nothing to look at:p the wife sez, buy the damn thing and ill pay for it:eek: well you cant pass that up...no way:D

so the rep(helluva guy) Steve Fierro and i start talking quads. I tell him about exriders.com and the next thing i know he has me hooked up!!!:eek: they really did treat me right. anyone in the maryland/west virginia/southern pennslyvania thats lookin to buy any brand should check them out. it has been a long time since i met sincere and decent salesmen. no bs ...no hype. they did me right.

harlen and i had discussed getting a yfz so we could do comparision reviews and parts right ups.....so now we can:cool:

i know some will b!tch that its a yammy. well the BIGGEST factor in buying this over the TRX was one little option i cant live without. ELECTRIC START:macho ive heard enough about the yfz that i feel mighty comfortable with the purchase. i will still pick up a trx450r soon enough. besides.....what better person to offer UNBIASED info on the yammy and honda then me:blah:

[JDiablo]

well i wonder what this thing is going to look like.What you plans for it pappy?

[Ralph]

:blah:

[Pappy]

no real immediate plans. i want to ride it bone stock for awhile as a baseline. then id like to review the De Risi millenium shock kit. i know i will switch to a Burgard Honda style swing arm. then im sure there will be more..much more:p

[CTmxyfz]

I knew you were hooked after having your first ride on mine at Rausch. The smile on your face. I walk over to see how he likes it and he did not get up. He told me i could try the 425.:eek: that thing was sweet! i never you would break down and buy one. I helped make you!:devil:

i really dont have a loyal brand thing going on. i like alot of quads...for alot of reasons.

i have to give my boys at TWIGGS a BIG shout out for taking care of me. im certain when the time comes i will be treated as well on the TRX450R:D

i havent looked at thier web site yet www.twiggcycles.com so take a second and check it out. we will make thier hit count go thru the roof:p

[JDiablo]

thats cool,at least he will have something honda related on it,lol.good luck with it to

[Glow Plug]

WOOT! i'm so smart hahaa S-M-R-T haha


congrats pappy :)

[ajr400ex]

Pappy - I need to take some lessons on selling the wife on the idea of a new quad. What is your secret.:devil:

http://ricoracing.netfirms.com/Smilies/smileeek.gif

[hondarider2006]

The wife bought it for you??:eek2: How in the world did you talk her into that...for some reason I don't think you are telling us the whole story;)


Congrats on the yfz, hope it works out for you:D

[Tommy 17]

:eek2: :eek2:

[AlaskaSpeed]

Congrats, Kenny....I almost forgot what a stock YFZ looked like.....:blah:

[Motoman440]

Congrats Pappy!!! Dales are sweet but when it comes to the wrenching thing, they are a different animal when compared to the Yamaha's and Honda's. See ya here in a few more weeks!!! :D

[Quad18star]

Pappy ... Great choice of quads . I'm sure you will be impressed with the Yamaha . The only problem I have had , has been the battery , but it seems to have settled itself . I think the problems I had , were because the battery was new and hadn't been run hard enough . Who knows but it's goign well now . I have owned Honda's , Suzuki's and now this Yamaha . I am unbiased as to which brand I run . It took me almost a year to decide , before getting the Yamaha . I knew about the battery problems they ahd even before buying the quad . You can tell Pappy is still a true Honda rider ... he got the White and Red one LOL ( atleast i think he did) . Pappy get that thing out in the snow and kick it sideways .... it'll throw a roost pretty good and the stock tires actually hook up quite well on hard packed snow . Congrats on the new purchase ... and let us know what kind of mods you will be adding to it . First thing I'm doing is either a TC pipe or a Sparks ... maybe an HMF .

[bansheerider_13]

:eek2:

[FASTeR]

Pappy if you can pull away from the HMF pipes take a look at the Thunder Alley, I had the sparks, and rode a full system hmf equipped yfz before I made the switch, and am not dissapointed, if you ever come down to ky for any reason look me up before hand, and you can ride it and see first hand how it feels, the difference in the pipes is more drastic than i had imagined, almost like going from just the pipe to the cam mod difference.

[Narly R]

:eek2: Pappy, do you REALLY think you will be able to not modd it out? I cant wait to see it in 2 months!:D :o



:p Congrats man! Looks very nice have fun with it!

[FBRacing76]

Man Pappy how man quads do you have now man?

[Pappy]

im certain HMF will take care of me....if not ill start with the rod stewart jokes:devil: :blah:

[Greg Z]

pappy your so spoiled you little *****!!!!! lol IM JUST JOKING dont hit the bann button:devil:

you know i was joking right:blah:

[Quad18star]

I think Pappy should change his user name to Quad King !!! Tell me how the Burgard stuff works out .

FASTeR ... tell me more about this GT Thunder pipe . More Bottom End ? Mid or Top?? Loud?? Price?? Pics??

[Pappy]

i already know all about the Burgard stuff:blah: in fact i have a new RPM axle sitting here waiting for when i get the swing arm:eek2:

not trying to be a lil ***...

but since your an 'all mighty god' on this site...give us your opinion between the yfz and trx please :macho

[Quad18star]

Do you have any plans for doing the cam mod?? If you do , let me know how it works out . I'll be doing mine after my warantee expires . Hmmm ... you getting the YFZ should make for some fairly good competition at the Hatfield rides . I guess I wont be one of the only few there with a YFZ ( if i can make it out there).

actually i never asked for a discount. i relayed the information about exriders.com and that was that. first time i ever had a dealer offer me something that i didnt smirk at:p he was happy no matter what i bought and had ZERO negatives about either quad. alot of places talk down one brand or another. i was very content in the way he matched the two quads up. i kinda knew what i wanted when i walked in the door.....but he did a great job representing the dealership. AAA+++ in my book.

i reckon if i was a brand name top of the line racer i would expect that kind of treatment...but being a backwoods hillbilly kinda caught me off gaurd:D

[jmoney45]

pappy i did the same thing a month ago with the V Force. walked into the dealer to just check them out with no intention of buying one, and 2 days later i was picking it up with the wif. funny how that happens.

[seatec]

So, can you tell us what deal you got on the yfz?

I know you want a fair comparison between the two stock quads but i would go a little higher on the jetting in the yfz just for preventative measures. Congrats on the QUad Pappy.

You know, seeing that you got a Yfz and the line between good and bad quads is blurring , maybe Harlen should consider making this site a little less Honda orineted and more general quad. It may serve a larger community of quad riders. This site is no longer just a site but almost a mecca for quad riders. Just a thought. I think it woudl also serve our sponsor since most of them are not single Brand oriented and might get better sales out if.

[Pappy]

lol...this site has been heading to a brand unspecific for the last 2 years. you will still have some die hard opionated folks that will bicker back and forth. and there are good reasons for choosing one brand over the other but as you mention, the line is not as cut and dry as it used to be.

harlen and i both feel that inorder to be a greater asset to our sponsors and members we cant take a one sided hardliner approach to other brands.

and i do agree, people come to this site for a variety of reasons....and IMO #1 is the simple fact its just a fun place to exchange ideas and hang out. our sponsors see value in this, and the new race coverage is drawing in the top names in the atv racing world.

noone forces people to come here or stay...so if they wanna b!tch and cry...they are free to roll out:bandit:

[300exOH]

All I have to say is I'm sticking around> I've learned way too much to split now. :D

Congrats Pappy! I can't wait to hear your final opinion on both machines. I'm guessing the electric start is what sold the Yamaha:o :D

[Pappy]

thats the only reason i chose the yfz over the trx. electric start. if you do a search you will find i have been very disapointed in honda not having one. (dont anyone start b!tchin about electric start isnt needed blah blah blah)

i have grown used to hitting the button ..especially if i bone headly stall on a steep creek bank covered in slime. there is just some things i am unwilling to go with out...and the electric start is #1

[seatec]

I am sure, as somebody already mentioned before, that eventually the TRX can be retro fitted with a E-start either by third party or after the CRF450X version has been introduced.
I cant wait to go ride with Honda5 at the landing and try his trx450. if the engine is anything like the one i had in the crf450 its going to be killer.

[Pappy]

im certain the two will have awesome power. i wouldnt even consider a retro fit electric start...however id id hear rumors of a E-start model trx in the near future

[seatec]

SO did you keep going to your garage last night to look at her?
C'mon. You can fess up! Your with equall drooling quad owners here:D

[Pappy]

they are prepping me a new one today. if i have time ill get it after work..if not ill run over in the morning.

[seatec]

ah ok. so the drooling will commence tonight then. Tip. Get a camera phone like the LG VX6000 and take a few snapshots of her. That way you can show your friends and look at here all the time. Not that i did that, mind you:rolleyes: :cool:

[SGA]

:mad: Jealous I am.

[seatec]

Yes Yoda!! :D

[jlhughes750]

Welcome to the Dark Side!!
Pappy,
You'll be one happy Pappy after u get the hang of that beast....or should I say"get TO hang on to that beast"...

I'm a hard core Honda fan... but I've grown fond of my YFZ over the last few months....... It makes a great practice quad for the winter!!!!!!!!!!:blah:

Honestly, I like the Yammi... but my R and EX are still in the barn...

Later, Good Luck

BTW don't mind the glowing pipe, it'll go away when u start rippin on it!!!;)

[jmoney45]

can you give any comparisons at all between the trx and yfz? i know you just got your yfz but you said you rode one before. i still can't decide which to get. i just sold my 400 and will buy something by spring.

[Pappy]

i think it comes down to what you are going to do and expect from the quads.

the yfz is probably more "ready" outta the crate whereas the honda will be more user friendly. i just spent 20 minutes documenting everything i liked about the yfz.....and what i didnt like.

likes:

power is great
handles like a champ
suspension isnt bad for stock

the details are pretty kick *** for a stock quad:
adjustable clutch perch
adjustable brake lever
greasable a arm bushings
controls are pretty close to spot on
peg height and location are really good (for me anyway)

probably the best yamaha has ever produced. well ill say it IS the best to date from them.


dislikes:

seat is designed for mx (stiff and thin)
the chain adjuster is typical yamaha.....shoot me now:p
the stock exhaust sound is a bit weak
i didnt like that the front hubs and rear hubs dont match in color(just me i figure:p )



i will wait to say how well it fairs against the honda till i can actually do a good comparison.

the honda .....well lets say i thought it was pretty cool. my wife summed it up best when she said it looked like a 400ex with different plastics:eek: :) (women:rolleyes: )

it feels so much like the 400ex when you just sit on it. the seat is a bit different then the 400ex...but still typical honda. (felt great)

the shocks on the honda look much better then the 400ex. felt better too:devil:

power is great, id love to ride one with the hrc kit.

honda quality throughout no doubt. i geuss the yfz impresses me because...well...IM NOT USED TO SEEING A YAMAHA THIS GOOD:cool: they have a great quad...so does honda. you could literaly flip a coin and proably be happy with the outcome

[jb500ex]

the question is how did you think the honda handled

[Bad Habit]

Originally posted by Pappy

Pappy, I think you just sumed up what is causing so much friction between guys now. Blue guys have something that is spot-on and Red guys don't want to accept something other than red that is spot-on. There is not and probably should not be a clear "winner" in this. Everyone should relish the fact that we have a machine from BOTH of these manufacturers that are just simply that dam good.



EVERYONE PLEASE do not turn this into a flame fest, if it does I'm deleting my post. I am not trying to start anything, just making an observation.

[Pappy]

Bad Habit, you said what needed to be said. neither quad is perfect, but both are close enough that this sport just took a kick *** leap forward:macho its been missing...hell it never was:cool:


dont delete your post. if anyone has BS to post ill handle them. i dont get mad if someone posts intelligent info...its the rehtoric i find boring and will be dealt with.

[JOEX]

Yep, great post Bad Habit:macho

Joe

[Quad18star]

Like someone else said .... don't mind the glowing red head pipe while idling... goes away while ridding ... but then again you probably already know this . Let me know if you have any battery problems . After you have it fully charged , take it down the road about a mile ... turn it off for about 10 minutes then start it back up again . Let me know if its holding its charge . Mine is working great now ( atleast so far) . Even though it does have a hard seat, I got used to it very quickly and I find it so much easier to move around on it than ridding a quad that has a softer seat . Your picture of just the hood looks almost identical to the picture I took of mine when I forst got it . Wish I could afford to pay the $$ to post pictures , but it's a little too much for this Canucks blood . Sorry guys , maybe once I'm back to work from the surgery I'll buy my membership and post pictures Ive taken of the quad so far.

[Pappy]

mine wont look like yours for long:p

[Quad18star]

LOL ... I can just imagine what yours is going to look like in about 3 months from now . You're gunna make me drool and TRY and spend tons of cash to make it look just as good as yours. Wish I could post a pic of my glowing head pipe ... because I was using a crappy digi cam ... the pipe looks pink ... but in reality it was almost " see Through" hot

[Quad18star]

Have you already started powder coating things?? I just noticed my pipe guard isn't the same color !?!?!?! Either you're already hard at work ... or I got ripped off . LOL :blah:

[Pappy]

i found out all about the headpipe. i unloaded the quad right at dark...let it warm up and proceeded to pull off my driveway. )i forgot we had about 10 inches of snow:( ) so after i drag the quad thru a snow drift i ride it to my garage. i look down and im like---->:eek: WTF:p

[Pappy]

yeah i did some of the small stuff. harlen said he didnt want me adding on all the aftermarket stuff yet....but he didnt say anything about making it look purty:p

[Pappy]

just lil stuff harlen...i promise:devil:

[Bad Habit]

LMAO, I bet Pappy feels like a guy that has an itch that the doctor told him that he can't scratch.:D

[MotoX3]

jeez man have you even rode the thing!jk....looks sweet pappy...btw how many quads have you owned now and idk if you said it yet or anything but what happened to the R and Dale?:confused:

[Quad18star]

HAHAHA ... I knew about the headpipe thing because of what others have told me . I was letting the quad warm up outside one night and my dad was standing beside it ... then I'm like " Dad take a look at the pipe " He looked and his face just dropped. Never heard someone say " Turn the F ****ing thing off before it blows " so fast . Had a good laugh about it and had to explain the whole " pipe" situation to him . Try taking it down the road on hard packed snow . The stock tires actually hook up not too bad . I gotta find someone in the area that does powder coating . Wouldn't mind doing a few small things on it either . Does Burgard make a long travel suspension for these quads yet? If so can you let me know prices and specs on the bike and let me know if he/they are willing to ship to Canada . Also if you had pics of their products I wouldn't mind seeing a few . If your opinion ... what is the nicest looking bumper on the market for these bikes?? I like the looks of the Duncan ... but the good old AC with a dirt screen looks nice on any quad out there .

[Pappy]

yeah burgard make LT for it. i havent decided on LT or not as of yet. and yes he ships to canada. if you look at his site the a arms on the home page are standard or LT depending on how you want them.


i honestly havent even looked at many aftermarket parts yet. im gonna wring this one out stock for awhile i think. we have a lot of reviews and comparison tests to do so we want her stock...and yes its killin me:p

i know it needs a bigger tank for XC. and i have rear hipers, but i have to order the new front sections for the fronts
