yes thats cool, I might and try to take the helmet cam or something..... either way I will have video some how or another. If there are any others that want to race just show up. Its all cool, we are just having fun here.

 

Amen.

 

LOL, ok, so why is it, EVERYTIME i line up against my buddies 03 LE raptor or my cousins 03 shee, i beat them? i mean its a known fact that the pred is faster. OH Wait, since they say that the raptor has a higher top speed then the YZF, that means so does the pred! Sure it may be quicker, doesnt matter what you drive, they'll always be somone quicker then you. Go over to the yami forum and ask whos faster, the NORMAL yami people will tell you straight out...

 

Oh, so you have a problem with us making a post about a problem the yfz has?
Then can you explain why

THIS is on the yamaha forum? And the pred isnt slow.

 

All I said was I never ever seen a predator beat a raptor in my neck of the woods. I have to see it to believe it so is anyone up for a race[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I wasn't try'n to start a war here when I made this post....no need for all you Yamaha guys getting your panties in a wad....just making a simple observation about what appears to be a weak part. The funny thing is how alot of you guys are saying "it must be a freak thing" or "man that guy must not know how to ride" I mean heaven forbide there be a flaw with the "Worlds Best Quad". From the looks of that picture, in my mind, its made out of to thin of tubing. Plane and Simple!

I'm not bashing on the YFZ at all, in fact I'm glad to see Yamaha step up and come out with it. I'm eiger to see how it stands against 440exs, C-Dales and Predators at the races. The Predator and the YFZ are the two best things that have ever happened in the world of amateur mx quad racing. For basically $8 grand you can go racing and hold your own against quads that cost 4-6 grand more to build.

It will be interesting to see how the YFZ holds up in the real world...In my opinion, Yamaha is walking a very fine line when it comes to weight reduction and strength with this quad.

 

ok, but if you notice in the link you posted non of them put the predator down, but in this thread the raptor was put down in the third post. So you tell me who is starting what here. We are just referring to the people who put yamaha down not the person who started this post. Come on now. I bet if someone started somethin in the Yamaha forum about your bike you wouldnt stick up for it????[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
