I haven't got to really got to race a yzf yet. I tried to once and I accidently started in second, plus my jetting was off. I'm sure I will get a rematch pretty soon though...
Well the bike I rode needed more than just some dapening mounts for the vibration to go away. I'll be honest, that motor could use a heavier counterbalancer. The footpegs were basically massaging my feet!!Thanks joe, IMO I think the lid would make all the difference in the world; you should have him easily with your mods now if you remember that friggin' lid !
Haha
Cool ...
Hey lude, the YFZ that you rode did it have stock handlebars? --- A lot of guys with YFZ's are putting on dampened mounts and the vibes go away (almost)[/b]

don't know what the heck u mean bout this . not tryin to flame but we got a 96 waveventure and all we do is change the damn plugs each season and it will still crank out to 62 miles per hour. the only thing that we have ever really done to it is we changed the fuel filter. nothin else. sorry to bug u bout this. oh yea and it always starts in less then 20 seconds even after sitting all 8.5 months or so of winter. and usually less then 5 secs at launch. so please clarify this but I guess that it might be just a yamaha ATV thing but do clarify my friend.Originally posted by TRX450rlude@Jun 1 2004, 11:27 AM
We already know Yamaha's reliablity could use quite a bit of improvement

I can care less about your jet ski...go to a jet ski forum.....I am speaking from mine and my friends experiences....I think they are junk...but Im comparing it to a Honda also....Also when I say this I mean they are very good machine, if you take care of it....the honda is a good machine even if you dont take care of it....and Ive had plenty of yamahas....I just sold my last one, thank god, the dang thing broke every time we rode it....we would ride, fix it while we were riding...and fix it some more after we were done riding....who said anything about a jet ski. they dont take near the punishmnent a ATV takes. the engine takes alot of abuse, but I think Yamaha makes pretty good engines...its the rest of the bike that I think is junk....and this is my opinion, you have yours.....maybe youve just had better luck with them then most people...maybe you take better care of your stuff then most people....I think they YFZ is a work of art...like I said earlier, its better then anything they have ever built,,,IN MY OPINION....If you have your opinion feel free to express it...without bashing someone elses....later.Originally posted by PICKLES+Jun 1 2004, 06:33 PM--><!--QuoteBegin-TRX450rludedon't know what the heck u mean bout this . not tryin to flame but we got a 96 waveventure and all we do is change the damn plugs each season and it will still crank out to 62 miles per hour. the only thing that we have ever really done to it is we changed the fuel filter. nothin else. sorry to bug u bout this. oh yea and it always starts in less then 20 seconds even after sitting all 8.5 months or so of winter. and usually less then 5 secs at launch. so please clarify this but I guess that it might be just a yamaha ATV thing but do clarify my friend.@Jun 1 2004, 11:27 AM
