the only problems i have heard of from the YFZ is that it has bad ergos and that the anlge of the a-arms in relation to the shock is bad. this makes it dive more in the corners than it should.

this "anlge of the a-arms in relation to the shocks" causes the quad to not handle well? ..

You can weld a frame cheaply, you can't fix a messed up tranny cheaply

Ridley summed it up exactly correct.

The only problem I've noticed is all the false rumors started by those that haven't even sat on one or seen one run in person.

Yamaha has an impressive quad right out of the box!

Any opinions about how this machine would do as a desert racer??? I mean for like bashing huge whoops at high speed. What about high speed cornering/stability???
