I Raced a predator on my yfz and it was a verry good race. i took the holeshot and just held it to top gear. I won by only 2 lengths.
I think if my yfz was stock i would have lost, it was that close. The predator was stock.
I'm new to all this quad talk.....what the hell is a cam mod on a new YFZ 450?
It's easy ....turn the exhaust cam sprocket 1 tooth clock wise!!!That alone gave me two bike lenths,but the Sparks full system gave me another 5 lenths!!I have raced a ton of Pred.,they won't run with the yfz in 300ft........not even close!

The Banshee is faster But in 100 yards its neck and neck.Banshee is 86 mph Yfz 75 or so. I do like the YFZ Better for all around riding.
Banshee is for sale. I dont want to sell her but the wife (enough said)LOL

The ATV Action article is full of misleading (or blatantly WRONG) information. First of all, when comparing HP, the YFZ450 and the Z400 were done on one (stingy) dyno, and the Predator on another (optimistic) dyno. This is B.S. If you are doing a comparision for a magazine you put all three quads on the same dyno machine on the same day. The Predator's numbers are optimistic at best, and the YFZ450's numbers seem very low compared to the other results I've read about. So the HP numbers are meaningless. Then they put them together with the weight to get the "power-to-weight ratio". They screwed that up to. They listed the numbers correctly, if we were talking about the "weight-to-power" ratio, but they said that the Suzuki had the advantage, when in fact it was the worst. The YFZ 450 ended up having the best power-to-weight ratio. Like in golf the lower the number (pounds per horsepower) the better. I was really disapponted in that article and I wrote them a letter telling them that they need to get their act together.

dirtwheels can be pretty r3tard3d too....45 hp yfz450, rediculous and in this one article it showed this lightly tuned banshee and in quotes "...will smoke any 4 stroke" i almost wrote them morons a letter, im pretty sure a tuned yfz450 could take a banshee if it can take one stock
