Default Got me a new 450!!

I should be gettin' it late this week or early next! A new blue '05 YFZ, first one in Eugene OR! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Now I just gotta sell the Rappy....hehe

Anyone heard much about the suspension changes in '05? I haven't seen any threads on it...what exactly do they mean by it? Is it just a way to say a softer easier ride?

If you take the 2 grand and times it by 3 we might have a deal [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Are the changes to the suspension just in the adjustments or are they internal changes that the owner can't do?

Wow, I bet you'll love it. I really want to ride a YFZ450 just waiting for my chance. I've ridden a 450r and it was really impressive.

Hey Bubba, dont wanna go off topic here, but did your polished side covers make your feet hotter? I ask cuz JSYI had his covers polished and said that his feet get hotter now and that it seems the quad is running hotter, any ideas? Thanks!

There might of been a slight bit of extra heat but it didn't run any hotter.


I better be lovin' it for the price! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Diescarred: are you gettin rid of the Rappy to get yours?

Deucerooster: if you thought the 450r was impressive, ride the YFZ it'll amaze you.

Picked it up today and rode it for a couple hours!! Man it's an awesome machine! Very different power than a Rappy, thats forsure. I'm very impressed with the stock power, I can't wait to pipe it though! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] The power was similar to a banshee...

I'm still not impressed with the seat, not much better than the '04's at all but it is better, the gripper is a nice addition also.
