from what i have seen, the "R" has no cheesy arse parking brake, one more thing not having to worry about, plus less weight!
most of the things that i have found are dang good except that i can't get one 'til march, shucks!

Later Jayson

Sorry man, but i do believe it has an e-brake. Any quad made today has to have one...racer or utilty. Unlike a 2 wheeler , quads can roll away and some lowlife lawyer will find a lawsuit out of it. I think Honda is a little bit smarter than that. Its a small price to pay for what looks to be a great machine.

sorry to burst your bubble but all quads have to have a parking brake it is a federal mandate. go wine some more j/k

rtyfz450 is right all quads build today have to have a parking brake. It was part of the consent decree with CPSC.

and to top that, yamaha had the foresight to make the e-brake such that you can easily remove it. Now, dont you wish you wouldnt've made a dumb comment like that.

Not really the same subject, but, to the guys that have the YFZ,do you like the chain adjustment system? A friend of mine has one and he told me that is absolutely horrible to adjust the chain. Your comments,please

**rtyfz450** · 11-19-2003, 08:35 AM

no I don't like it honda has the best. I would say that the yamaha is ok and it works ok but still the honda remains the best. I really could care less because I will probably get an aftermarket swing with the honda style adjuster. plus you will not have to do it that often because It really doesn't need to be adjusted every race or every couple times riding. I have had my yfz since july and have always checked the chain and never have had to adjust it.

actually it doesnt come loose like the honda style chain adjustment..

**MX#9** · 11-19-2003, 09:48 AM

Trueblue, What do you mean? I have had at least 11 Honda quads, 250r,250x,300ex,400ex. I have never had anything come loose in the chain adjustment. Anyway, I thought the yfz system was a bit time consuming and a difficult to be sure your axle was running true compared to the much simpler Honda design.
