I have heard from a few people that the 04 YFZ had probs with having bad rods...Is this true??

 

I also read a post about some issues with the very early build of some 450's. There was an issue causing a lack of oil getting to the rod bearings and causing them to dissentegrate. What I have heard is it was an early production error that is few and far between

 

I have 2-04 YFZ's and they both run Excellent.........

I think it's ALL in how they are taken care of.......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Those where very isolated cases, and NOT COMMON. Dotn worry abot it, unless your bill balance, out on the track riding the ever living crap out of your quad!
