Default rode the new 450

NOT IMPRESSED what so ever with the power... the suspension and handling was AMAZING though... it doesnt have the power of my yfz..but u can tell it has potential.. took the air box lid off and it gained a lil power..but since it was the shops i didnt take the baffle out and see..but its restricted something awful.. its wheelie friendly as well.. they did good with this one..

I have taken the baffle out of mine, along with the lid off. It really wakes up. I had no problem this weekend at Glamis beating 06 450r's with the same mods. I also beat a piped yfz. With a pipe and a Cherry bomb, it will only get worse for Hondas and Yamahas.

I rode a suzuki 450 this last weekend along with an 06 450r in the desert by Las Vegas. Both were completely stock. The suzuki had a very responsive throttle and the susupension was plush. The 450r had a bigger hit on the bottom of the powerband. I didn't really rap the suzuki out, because it was just being broken in. I was expecting a bigger difference in the power, it wasn't there on the new suzuki.

Take the baffle out and lid off. Ride it again. Then come back here and tell me what you think.
