well my buddy went and bought an 06 yfz 450 last night, and when at the dealer he was talking with the sales manager and asked if they had had any problems with the 450s... the manager said "man thats about as strong as bike as yamaha has ever made, not like these raptors..." and my friend was like "what?" well, the manager obviously didnt want to say too much, but he said that somn was up with the fans not coming on and a couple other things, but said yamaha has some serious problems/kinks they need to get worked out... i was wondering how they would end up, just with changing so many things all at once, i was wondering what would be wrong... liek the 2001 had sucky trannys, and usually stuff get improved quite a bit from the 1st year... im also curious to see how that fuel injection is gunna hold up in the sand... it'll be interesting...

anybody else heard anything or have you had any problems with the 700?
