Click the link. Scroll down to the bottom of the page under the heading August 30th 2003. There you will find some videos of several YFZ's racing at Pismo yesterday as well as a sic fast 400ex framed CRF450 equiped, modded and on alky kicking some serious but.

Good work. Don't know what a "Stage 3" DS consists of, but if that YFZ get's his launching down (or if the DS don't jack him next time), the DS is gonna need to get a "Stage 4" done. Same for the 720.

That 'lil 450's got some umph and is surpris'n a bunch o' folk. Lot's a smack 'bout what the 450 cain't do, now some vids about what it's a do'in.

What were the YFZ's running? Stock? Airbox mod and sparky out? Not a ton of options left after those! Who the hell's the pilot on the white YFZ? Guy's got it figured out.

That CRF fitted EX was a rocket. Glad I gots one of dem - in the bike form of course.

just to put out some #'s KENZ CYCLE TECH dyno'ed a stock raptor and a stock yfz last week raptor 33hp yfz 38hp

 

dam that modded 400ex is fast!

 

I'd assume the 450's shown werent stock? My 686 has devoured a couple with no problems. If a 720 DS had that much trouble with one he needs some tuning help.

 

Selector, I think your blinded by the love of your machine. Someones got to start, the DS was the one to start first that time. It's not like there's someone standing there flagging. We (my brother and I) usualy wait for someone else to take off. That particular YFZ would have lost regardless. Trustme, there were plenty there that beat that same DS.

Mr45auto, As for the 720 DS. The rider weighs 300lbs. Enough said on that one.

I didn't talk to any of the YFZ guys. It was obvious they were all in various stages of mod all the way to alky. It was obvious that the white YFZ were mostly the fastest. The fastest YFZ was a blue one that I believe was the ESR on alky. If memory serves.

 

I will have to admit that prollly the only reason I got that yfz was because of the ridder. Not the yfz[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
The yfz is very, very impressive.
As far as what a stage 3 DS is. Piston, cams, larger valves, larger carb, port work, stock bore. Oh and 480lbs plus my 205 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
All i know is i like to line up with the fast bikes....I was wanting to line up with the yfz's

 

Great job on getting the vids. First hand knowledge is always better than hear-say. Were the Yzf's modded or stock. You said the blue was on alchol? More info please.

 

Yes they were moded in various degrees. I saw a couple that apeared to be stock. They didn't do as well obviously but did well enough to be in the race. I didn't see the blue one on alky that my brother saw. But I saw plenty of fast white ones. Not sure of there mods. But one of the ridders had on a sparks racing t-shirt. His bike was real fast. Prolly 4 bikes in front of me every thime. The majority of the other white ones would get me off the line by a bike and we would stay that way to the end. I will say that the ridders all looked to be 175lbs or less. Even at that. The yfz is a sweet ride.

 

We all knew they would be fast, and the light weight of the bike with good horsepower numbers is a huge bonus. Thanks for the info.
