Default Just got yfz 450, need Help

I took it out to break it in and the pipe got extremely red. you can see the glow in the day time. Is this common for this machine.

Also does any one have a yoshi pro on there 450 and do you like it?

Thanks for your help!

Which one do you like better out of the 2? The Raptor or the YFZ450 and why? I see that you have both and I'm having a hard time choosing which one I want to get....I do a lot of trail and fire road riding....and occasionally go to a track

I am still braking in the 450 so I have not really got on it to much. I can tell you it handles better in the trails. It fells more agressive and the weight difference was noticeable. I took it to the sand and could pull some of the steeper hills shifting to third, ther raptor would of fell on its face. I just started racing my raptor that is why I bought the 450 but I have not had it on the track yet .

So after all that I would say I like the 450. More maneuverable and agressive. I like that style of riding

The pipe glowing is definatley not good, it is running way to lean and u are burning up ur engine. Put a bigger jet in it before u ride it again or u are going to burn it up quick![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
