I have just just got a yfz 450 and want to start racing in the summer. I haven't got use to it yet and I can only ride on the weekends. If any one has any good tips for a rookie, that would be great.

 

First off...are ya single??? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] heh, j/k

ANYWAYS....

You definitely need to take some time and get very used to the quad. You need to know what to expect when you start pushing it hard.

You also prob. need to check on some mods to make your quad more competitive. Talk to some other racers about mods, and make sure you know the rules before you start modding everything out.

Also, try to work on building your endurance. I've even heard of pro racers pulling exercise programs to race prep themselves, but they def. have to be on top of their game.

make sure you have some good protection too, (helmet, chest prot., nerf bars, etc.)

well, im not a real racer, so im prob.outta my league here, so maybe the guys that actually know what they are doing can help you out a little more. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] have fun and good luck!

Just ride alot and get a feel for the bike. Definately get some riding gear, so it minimizes any injuries that may occur. Is this th first quad you have ever had? You will more than likely be standing up a majority of the times when you ride through whoops, and over jumps. Lean into the turns. Don't crash. Umm, Dont crash again.


I give up im all out of ideas. Its just a feel of the bike and knowing what it will do in diferent situations, and how you take advantage, or prepare for it.

 

ride it like ya stole it and you'll be just fine
