It is pure race bred. It is made to jump I heard the shocks come really stiff from the factory or dealer. And the seat is uncomfortablly hard but if your ridin hard you shouldnt use it much. And I also heard the YFZ's like to be RUN not puttin around they build up alot of heat if they aint movin.

I will second KUDA
but I will add that the one I rode wouldn't bring the front wheels off the ground AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

I was goin in second gear and I popped the clutch and it just flew
so I tried it in first
and just as soon as I did the front stayed on the ground and that bass-turd just hauled AZZ

My only complaints about it are the seat and the stock skid plates. Both problems have easy fixes... Problem 1 is taken care of by riding fast and problem 2 can be taken care of by after market skid plates.

I can bring my front tires up at will, I think it's easy to wheelie, and to balance your wheelie.... at the same time the front end doesn't come up on you unexpectadly. As far as jumps, can you say AIR?? And wonderful landing thanks to the suspension.

I sat on one for the first time today. My dealer has a red one if anyone is looking for one and you live in N.Dakota. I'm just over 6 foot and it seems real cramped to me. I really felt bent over standing up and sitting down my knees were up by my hands. I'de like a chance to ride one and see how it really feels though.

Once you ride all of the uncomfortness (is that a word?) goes away, even the hard seat doesn't bother me, but I'm not sitting a lot.......I like the ergos, and after getting off my bike and riding things like a Warrior, 300ex, 400ex I just want to get back on mine!!

I know it wasn't built to sit on and not move. I bet it feel great once you give it the spurs.
