doesnt suprise me at all. This guy freaking rips. The funny thing is nobody believes that he hasnt done any motor work. Oh well. I guess they dont realize how fast these yfz450's really are.

I must have not seen a fast one yet. The ones I've seen at the dunes are with the Banshee's with pipes and the Raptor's with pipes. As far as comparing speed.

What have you done different to your quad Dana? Do you think you could hang with him?

Yes, I seen this first hand. My buddy has the YFZ with the Sparks setup - Cam mod, Airbox mod, Sparks pipe and jetted and he kept up with me on my 690!! Also, I put 1800.00 in my Raptor to go that fast and all he did was put 700.00 in it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

How could you tell? You can't see a +3mm piston or head/valve work.

Edit: Not that I'm trying to pick a fight, but there are a lot of "stock" banshees out there too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

When i changed my gearing i gained about 5 bikelengths, also with the new clutch i am holeshotting alot better. This past weekend i ripped off 2 paddles off my 8 paddle haulers, I think with 10 paddle haulers i can get a few more lengths. I also plan on getting alot of headwork done over the summer, with some oversized valves.

Well thats what he said ... I looked at the external head bolts and they looked untouched also the cylinder did not have any type of stamp from a builder but you never know??

I dont have any boring or headwork and I feel that my quad would have been close with pilots of equal weight. That guy must have been around 140lbs.

I was the only YFZ though that was somewhat near him though

So it's faster tahn Eriks YFZ? A 470 on Alky? I wonder if this one has got the baba hidden. I'll look at hte pics more to see if I can spot some other stuff too.
