    Its when you roll or tip over you quad. It something with the gas in the carb that helps it start much easyer.

    It makes a change in the headpipe that makes a whistle sound when you first start it. It's for when you're out riding and stumble upon a lone hottie in the woods. It's like a mating call.

    Hot Start

    It's just another gimmick, so they can say they've got one and Yamaha doesn't! While you guys are mating, I'll be racing. You don't need a mating whistle when you've got ballz to ride a Yamaha!

    Just kiddin' guys! LOL!

    I've been red all of my life but we'll have to wait 'till next year to see if I chose the right one (Fo' Fitty Yammy Haw). So far I think I have but we've not seen any stock one's out yet. I think "Big Red" dropped the ball on this one.

    What's up with all the wagon jumpers saying "I think big red dropped the ball on this one?"

    What part of this quad is not up to par?

    The chassis is every bit as good, likely better than the Yamaha.

    The engine is right there...

    Reliability will likely be better.

    Shocks are on par.

    Lighter weight



    Show me the light - I'm lost on this ball dropping.

    In reality, they will both be excellent quads - you probably won't be able to go wrong with either.

    Theyll be like the most evenly matched quads honda and yamaha have ever had. It will be just like dirtbikes.

    The only thing I can figure is because it is kick start only.I really like the new beast but I can't understand why they didn't take the time to incorperate a electric start,this is the ONLY place I feel yamaha is better.Will that make me buy a yahmaha......HELL NO!!!
