get a 450r

[Got nads?]

battery, swing-arm, front shock mounts, and I still like it better than my brothers 450r, but that's just personal opinion!

Those are all problems with the YFZ? I have rode a 450R and the bike is very nice but I am just not all that interested in the kick start deal.

Front shock mounts? I've never heard of that one. Maybe 3 swingers have been posted with an "X" shaped crack, but that was under race conditions. The battery problem was explained. The YFZ battery was choosen because it is a race quad and uses a 13.5v power so most 12.5v chargers do not work with this battery. No real problems IMO.

The only things i have seen bad so far is

1.Swing Arms
2.Shift Cam
3.Battery

Don't forget the coolant leak.

Although it only happens under 30 degrees.

I'm sure Yamaha will get their head out of there a** eventually and come up with a solution.

my parking break quit working, and i have heard baout the battery messing up. thats all i have heard. great bike,, smokes the 450r. jumbo747, he didnt ask what kinda bike to get, just wanted to know anything bad about the YFZ

[Shuee_400]

yeah just tighten the bolt mine did the same thing on the parking brake.. you guys must be smokin crack the only thing the 450r is good for is fat poeple.. its smooth riding till you start hittin doubles with it, it rides so loose it feels like your going to lose it in every corner, lets just say im so glad i didnt wait for honda to try and match my YFZ but everyone has there likings, alls i got to say is wooop wooop try and catch up!
