ahhhh a place for me to play now

[Pappy]

glad to see some new additions around here:p

lets get on with riding and shooting the breeze and lay off the bashing:cool:

[Wingnut]

Maybe now we can say how we feel about our YFZs without the threat of a lynch mob showing up at our door. :blah:

[Pappy]

hahahaha...i answer lynch mobs with a 45 in one hand and a 12 gauge in the other:p


as many different people that we have on this site it only makes sense. hell i felt guilt even posting a pic of my yammy:( but that lasted about 2 seconds:devil:

I see good threads in the future from this forum!:)

Thanks for the new forums guys, I am looking forward to all the GREAT info!:)

[Hawk III]

I want to welcome all the yamifgts errr nice guys over here :blah:
jk, I actually think all the competition for the factories will only make the next couple of years unbelievable!

[methyman]

I see we have fellow R riders with the new Yamaha in th garage. I really like my new YFZ450. Still breaking it in. This thing rips in stock form. I really picked the yamaha over the TRX450R due to the electric start and overall appearence of the bike. I honestly think the Yamaha look better than the Honda. Just my 2cents.

I have to agree , it's great time have a diversity on this site now . This has to be the best site on the Internet for information and to just shoot the Chit !! Next year I will buy my membership for the site . I wish I could this year , but $$ is a little tight .

Pappy , any other things unexpectedly drop by your door from Baldwin?? Maybe some of those items can be mistakenly be sent to Canada :devil: ....

I did my first race with the YFZ this past weekend . I was running an outdoor ice race ( MX style ie snow jumps and slick corners) and I was VERY impressed with the quads handling and power . I was running against some pretty done up machines and all mine had was studds in the tires ( everyone else had studds also) . I pulled the holeshot in both motos , and ended up in a 4th overall . It could have been a better finish if I wouldnt have crashed twice in the 1st moto ( damn nervousness) and then I spun out in the 2nd moto and put it into a hay bail . I probably would have gotten a 2nd place overall ( 1st place guy was fast and had more ballz than I did to do all the jumps ) . Way till you get your YFZ on the track .....it's awesome . I'll try and set up a website or somethign and post pictures I've taken of the quad so far .

[Johnny & Monica]

I`m a loyal honda after owning 8 250r`s an 4 400ex,But bougth a new yfz 450,Glad that I can come to my favorite site an still feel at home.Still loyal to honda thougth ,no smack out of my mouth there both great bike`s

[Baley69]

What pipe are you going to go with pappy, or anyone else? I'm thinking Yoshi or GYT-R.

[biohazard1.2]

Harlen, Pappy,

Nicely done! There is too much good info on your site to be lost to the "brand" bashing. Your actions have bridged the gap in tolerance of ones color...red or blue or yellow!

[Admin]

I am very pleased with the positive responses I have received from adding the new forum sections. The fact couldn't be denied that a majority of members of EXriders.com now own ATVs other than Honda, so I felt it was important to have section for these members to share information.

Plus, I hope to see a reduction in the amount of brand bashing. I have seen enough "My A quad is better than Your B quad." They are all great and only getting better!

Well, I have said enough, ENJOY!!! :D

[Z400central]

Pshhh.......:rolleyes:



:D

[jlhughes750]

great to see!!thanks... as much as love the R and the EX... this YFZ rips...

[Johnny & Monica]

I order a hmf for mine a couple week`s ago.If J.G would get it to me .they seam to work great I had one on my c-dale an predator,an liked them an my buddy put one on his yfz.Hit`s good an sounds great

[trueblue450]

good i always like lookin up info on the yfz but the non honda forum was a little lame...

thanks for the updates exriders.!!!

[Pappy]

johnny c threatened me with violence if i didnt run an HMF:macho so ireckon thats what ill be getiing. not to mention they sponsor the site:p


i will be starting some new threads in this section about what mods work etc. i will make sure they stay on topic;)


i have a bunch of parts to be installed but ive been busy and havent made myself do it. after this weekend i hope to have my skids, front hubs and hipers installed. my elkas are ordered, same with a arms and swing arm. so the next month should be pretty fun:p

[methyman]

Well I just ordered my Curtis Sparks Stainless steel pipe with air filter kit. It should take a week to get here. I have run Curtis Sparks pipes on my 250r, 400ex and love em. I hope the one for the YFZ450 is great also.

[Pappy]

Prm skid plate. This is thier new Z~style skid plate

[Pappy]

Thats about all i could install until my new nerfs arrive. we stickered her up:rolleyes: hey the kids like it;)

[RiPPiNiTuP7]

[pairanutz]

[Pappy]

Bars: i like the stock bend and didnt wanna order a set until i figured out what bend is close to the stock ones. any suggestions??


QJ..lil man and cody went to town on the stickers. i dunno whats straight and whats not yet:p ill leave them there until the first pressure washing then any crooked ones will get the boot:p


The PRM skid plate gives full protection as compared to the GYTR. im not sure i like the new front mount tho. when my swing arm is built i will try and get him to add honda skid mounts

[Pappy]

The oil tank is made by CFM. it installed easily and everything fit properly with no modifacations to any of the stock parts. I like the idea of a bit more oil for the added protection it offers.

[Pappy]

with the cfm tank installed the arens nerfs fit and i added the prm front bumper:D

[Out_Sider]

its definatly turnin out wicked ;)

[MotoX3]

here pap....i lightened it up a bit so you can see her a little better....hope ya dont mind....if ya do tell me and ill take it down....http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid103/p2002ddbf3989a3b8077169e60b693b10/f99f8a74.jpg

[Pappy]

a few pics in the daylight

[Pappy]

more

[Pappy]

:D

[TDBRPH]

Very Trick looking !! How do you like those front tires? I imagine it is pretty hard to tell in the snow but I will be interested to see how you like them once it thaws out. If you see a decent deal on some used hipers out east let me know :)

Triston

[Quad18star]

Awesome pics Pappy .... were they taken with a regular camera or with a Digital??? Quad is looking sick . I LOVE those Hypers !!!!I wish the batteries in my buddy's camera wouldn't have froze ... we built a table top that was about 20 feet long .... we hit it all day long . Next week it's time to bust tricks off of it .

[Pappy]

the pics are from my digital...anyone want to buy a 35mm:p

[Quad18star]

What kind of Digi cam>??? Those are the nicest and cleanest looking pics I've ever seen !!!

[Pappy]

i bought the nikon d100 digital slr so i could continue to use all my 35 mm lenses. it takes great pics and allows me the freedom to use my camera as i would a 35mm.

[QuadRacer041]

bike looks great papy, im starting to like the yfz more and more everyday, i might pick one up at the end of the season

[Quad18star]

You should send that 2nd pic you took outside to Yamaha or in to Dirtwheels or some magazine .... That pic is SWEET !!! That bike better be running Klotz or else it's false advertisement ;) Im just messing with you . I got Amsoil stickers on mine and it's still running Yamalube .... will run Amsoil sooner or later though .

[Pappy]

nope, i am running klotz due to thier sponsorship in the gncc series

[Quad18star]

I just made an album in Image Station .... I'll post the link and can someone tell me if it works or not please . Thanks !!!

[Maxx_Action]

It works...

White is faster isn't it?

Maxx

[Quad18star]

Cant tell you if the white is faster or not since I havent had the chance to try a blue one yet . ;) :p But for arguement sake .... Yes White is faster ... It must be since thats what Pappy bought :p . Or maybe he was just trying to be like me ..... hmmmm ... I bought a YFZ and a week later Pappy buys one . I by a White one and Pappy buys a white one ... Hmmmm .... I see a pattern happening here , don't you?? Red and White baby .... true Canadian Colors !!!!!!

[Motoman440]

Pappy,

The quad is lookin sweet!!! But I thought you said your stayin stock for awhile??? Just couldn't stand it I'll bet. I finally decided to go with the Honda. I'll be gettin it around the 1st of March. I won't be able to have all my mods done by the H/M trip but we'll line em up for sure!!! Keep the pics comin as you add your mods.

Later

[Pappy]

so far i havent made any mods that affect power or handling. (except the tires) im waiting on a stock TRX450R to do a fair comparision but harlen hasnt gotton his yet:grr:

[Motoman440]

Yeah, the dealers around here are only gettin two a month. I had to put down $2,000.00 just to reserve the next one comin in!!! I am going with the HRC kit, or at least part of it but that will be all by H/M trip.

[QuadRacer041]

i hate to say it but i think the yammi is a better bike, just from what ive seen so far

[seatec]

Have you ridden them both?

so you'll be letting us take joyrides on it at the march h/m ride, right?;)

[QuadRacer041]

ive ridden the yfz not the trx, i could be 100% wrong its just my opinion.i think honda dropped the ball wating so long to get the 450 out. i like the way the yfz looks compared to the trx, i think the trx should have come in an elec start thats a big negative for an xc racer.

[Pappy]

i have riden both but not enough time on the trx to give a full comparison.

when i sat on the trx it felt alot like an R but didnt feel like an R when i rode it. the yfz handles like an R and IMO the power delivery is alot like a 2 stroke.

when i get a chance to put these 2 head to head i will elaborate but ive seen other posts comparing the 2 that pretty much sum them up very well.

the electric start and the looks sold me on the yfz also.

i dont like where the radiator fill is on the TRX (personal preference) i dont like the overall look of the TRX but power wise and handling were good. the stock suspension is even better then i expected and the same went for the yfz.

my personal message to people is this:

if you like a 250r you will love the yfz. if you like the 400ex you will pop wood riding the trx450r.

[seatec]

[CTmxyfz]

[Pappy]

[BigAl]

Lookin good Pappy, ain't that a shame, they finally get a parking brake that is worth a hoot, and we all take them off right away?

[Pappy]

[Pappy]

hahahhaa i left them set up straight outta the box. ill strat dialing them in.

this is the first time ive gotton to ride without a bunch of snow. i think part of it is that im riding with my weight too far back on the seat.
