alright,so as of today i got a 400ex,i do trails and tracks up to 60 footers,i do it all (except dunes) my only problem is im a heavy rider around 250lb,so my 400ex is a little soft and isnt that great on jumps(its hurts)
as far as suspension which one would be the best?and which turns quickest?
yamaha 450?
honda 450?
raptor 660?
suzuki 450?
also ive heard befor the raptor isnt good on tracks cuz its too tall is this true too?
generally i only ride honda because im not in to fixing things except servicing oil,filters,fluids....
which one would i be best with?
also id be buying the earlier editions of all these like 2004 or lower for raptor
no aftermarket suspension advice please unless its under $200

 

i whould not recomand the 660 raptor but the 700 is very nice. the problem here is the 450 will get the 700 on the track but the 700 will do much much better on the trails. this is very hard because you kind of want oppasate engines and frames for trailriding and track racing. i think you whould really like the 700 but you whould have to buy much newer and if that is not a option i whould but the yfz450 and btw there is no 2004 or below suzuki 450

 

ok thank you but the 700 is too much money,and my kind of trails are more wide open so id rather have a mx quad that can turn nice and jump nice for my weight

 

ya the 450r and the yfz450 are both good quads i whould go with the one you can get a better deal on.

 

wats the diff. between 450r and yzf450?

 

not a lot. the suspestion on both is very good. i think the engine of the yamaha yfz450 is better than i honda 450r engine imp.

 

The suspension on a stock YFZ sucks. The LTR has the best suspension, and if harder to roll becasue of it's width. I would reccomend the Suzuki, the only I would recomend putting a cherybomb on it though. The CRBM re maps the efi giving it more power, and costs like 30$. They only started making them in 2006 and they are reasonably cheap.

not trying to start a fight here.... but according to dirtwheels the yfz has the best suspension (or most tunable) and the ltr has the worst (way to harsh)..... they reccommended upgrading the ltr shocks as soon as you could affored to.

 

Yes, but take this into thought. It also says in Dirtwheels, that a stock Z400 goes 62 MPH. I know 3 guys with YFZ's and they hate the suspension. I know 2 other guys with LTR's, They absolutely love it. It has the longest travel, and once the CRBM is installed will do circles around the other 450's.

 

in atv action mag this month there is a 450 shootout.
