If you beat a raptor with your KFX400 the people on the raptor need to learn how to drive. You would have to pipe and filter to have chance.

Well your bike is probably 10 to 15 hp less or for better comparison it has 25% to 35% less power than a 450 and weighs roughly the same. You figure it out!

The YFZ450 puts out 37.5hp and the Z around thirty, that's not 10-15hp difference. Anyways my cousin
just bought a 450 and the diffence in acceleration isn't that much and he doesn't beat me by a big
margin in a 100 yard drag(2 or 3 lenghts). The z is better on tight trails.

It might be close on the trails, but in a drag race the YFZ would easily win.

450 at 37.5hp where'd ya get that? Stock 42, take the air box lid off 44hp

And a KFX400... about 32hp

Never raced a KFX, but remember, its mostly know how. An experienced racer on a KFX400 would probably beat the average Yfz rider on and off the track. The best mod of all is practice, practice..............................
