hey i was just wondering i have a ltz 400 and i love the way it pulls up eazy and how easy it is to do wheelies and good in trails. but i was thinking of gettin a yfz and iwas wondering does it cum up like the ltz does and how as it in the trails?
Some people say the YFZ is geared tall, so it might not be a good choice for trail ridding... I have no problem riding on the trails, thought.
The Z400 has a advantage over the YFZ on wheelies... The YFZ doesnt have a good balance point. You can do wheelies on a YFZ but it's going to take a little more practice.

my z400 was easier to wheelie and balance but my yfz with the same motor mods is much much easier! i can be sitting down in 3rd gear and crack the throttle and she comes right up and i can ride it for a while working the throttle. in 5th if i am standing and i find a bump of a whoop i can pull it up and ride it that way also. way better wheelie machine for highspeed wheelies.
as far as the trails i love mine for it! not sure why everyone prefers a 450r for trails because some of the off camber stuff can be tricky with a taller sitting quad. the low center of gravity makes it handle like a dream. all 3 of my buddies have 450rs that i ride with, an 04,05,and 06 and i like mine better. i guess im used to it more. the only other quad i would own at this point in time is a 450r.
