so would a 350 pound raptor, or a 300 pound yfz. Drop 50 pounds off a 400ex and you will be running kawisukicats.

 

yeah but put some aluminium upper a-arms , subframe, and swingarm , cheap rims,and put it wide like the yfz and the pred will be around 350 pounds .
The pred is built tougher then the yfz IMO

 

Dang! I miss being a spoiled kid.

Have fun on your new ride. Sounds like you have a really cool dad.

i hate to tell you would have to tdo more than that to get the preddy to 350[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Badrapp is corect there is no way that you can get it down to 350 with just the modds you said. Your so lucky man.. Goodluck

Like badrap and eceriderjbomb said you would need more than that, and a predator weighs like 415 lbs dry weight.

 

just a thought, but has anyone actually weighed the predator and yfz on the same scale. yammaha is notorious for understating their weight. Their still using the 01 dry weight when they beefed up a few things for all the models after. The Raptor and pred were weigheda while back, I'm not sure which mag, I think ATVsport and the Pred weighed less the the raptor (with all fluids) even though the raptor had a lower claimed dry weight

 

Ridley had a post a while ago where he listed the mag dry and wet weights of a few of the machines. The raptor was significantly heavier than stated.

 

I would just like to let everyone know that my new yfz 450 is awesome i have around 20 hrs on the bike so far. I haven't had time to put my new tires on yet . I can't stay off of it. I am gonna add some cushion to the seats lol. But the seat is my only complaint so far.

 

It probably wont be 350 pounds but at 415 pounds, its pretty dawm fast, now lighten it up and it will kill the yfz IMO......but thats my oppinion.
