A year ago I bought a YFZ 450 for my son to ride, and a DS 650 for myself, and we have really enjoyed both ATVs. We spend a lot of time switching back and forth between the two ATVs, and recently I have been thinking that for optimal ATV size that the DS 650 is too big, and the YFZ 450 is too small. For the best rider comfort, and best overall performance handling, the PREDATOR 500 looks like it would be right in the middle.
But how fast is the Predator 500? And will it keep up with what we already have? Both the YFZ and DS have the usual airbox mods, rejetting, and an HMF exhaust on them, and right now the DS is consistently 1/2 bike length faster in 300' sand drags. If I replace my DS with a Predator, will it measure up with the same mods done to it?
Thanks.

I am surprized your DS is faster than the YFZ though. That has never been my experience. Are you talking top speed, or?

Bradracer, as of now Opies is not faster than the DS's in the neighborhood. After the re-build we'll try it again. If its faster I'll be the first one to congradulate him and tell him I'm proud to run with him. But so far that hasn't been the case And I know his motor has had some issues. When those are resolved we'll run 'em again. And win or lose I'll still call Dan my friend [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
