Wut would win stock.. my friends has a yfz and been killing everything in town, from a 400ex all done up to a raptor 660 with big bore kit and everything. and his yfz is stock. just wanna kno how it would do up to a cannondale

 

if you can find a cannondale that runs the yfz would probably win depending on the rider.

 

Woodjr,

Thanks for the kind remark about a quad you know nothing about.

Now as to the question at hand. It will come down to rider. End of story. Whoever gets the hole shot will probably keep it. This is of course on a flat road. Now if you want to race up Sand Mountain NV. Cannondale/ATK all the way.

As far as I know everyones claim to be stock, may not be.

well take it for what its worth but ive been riding the dunes for 17 years on all kinds of bikes my friend owns a cannondale and it has done nothing but decorate our camp after a few hours of riding. and he asked about a cannondale not an atk apples and ornges my friend

 

The rider does not matter if u put it on a dyno

 

I think the YFZ will beat a cannondale up a hill because it is said to have more power.

 

Which Cannondale are you refering to? Motos and blazes have more ponies than a stock yfz but the yfz has a few more than a cannibal,speed,glamis. There are maps out there that can make a stock dale engine beat even a modded yfz. Of course it will be reving near 12,000 rpm . All 02 and 03 Dales have the same engine but the fx400's and early cannibals have hotter cams,and higher compression pistons . Ive seen dyno sheets of the fx400 at 42 hp with just fine tuning with no internal mods.

Then you put a 450 kit in them or a stroker crank or both with a little porting then its a whole new level of power.

 

You need to learn a little more my friend ATKs ARE Cannondales. I have one of each. and I can tell you the only differences are the hex code in the ECU and the atk uses a 450 piston while the Cannondale has a 432 piston. It doesn't make a huge difference in the power between the two.

 

atks are the 3rd generation of cannondale i believe after dinli bought the rights to produce them. and atk has made huge inprovements to the crank and the top end and made it a pretty fine machine. so dont take it the wrong way what i said about cannondale but it was atk that prefected the machine. but only after they got a bad rap. so a cannondale with atk updates is a cannondale in conception but you can expect a lot more from an atk than a cannondale.

 

Woodjr,

It would appear that you have some information but it is not 100% accurate. Cannondale and ATK have the same motor. ATK only balanced the cranks and started paying attention to assembly quality. They use a different Hex code from Optima for the software. As far as all the updates that ATK has done, most of the cures where from people like Haydug Cycles, Big Winky and a few others. They also are doing the Cannondale Factory Updates that are needed. The end result is a Cannondale with ATK stickers. Not bagging ATK for stepping up, but they didn't cure cancer.

YFZ are fast but they can be beat. Look at Sandgods picture and video it shows a Cannondale going to the top of Sand Mountain, NV. Not an YFZ.
