Completely understandable man. The best thing to do is ride both of them. We all have our opinions, but they're just that. Try out both of them, then decide which one YOU like. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Exactly, ride it.....atleast do that for us....don't down talk it, until you have ridden it. Don't worry about it breaking down either, the days of that are over. Polaris covers any mistakes, broken parts very well, with no problems. And also believe me, weight can be dropped from the pred very easily(like I said before, an easy 20lbs can be dropped.....up to 25 if you changed the tires.). Ride it and see which you like better!!!!


If you do decide to get the pred, talk to us right away, we can tell you how to make her open up pretty easily. It doesn't take much to make it roar. (airbox mod, mess with carb, and drop the weight and she'll go like he!!)

If you do not ride it, it can't break down. I myself can break a Honda[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

well now!!!! THE Predator is NOT an option for me....my dealer that is givin me all the BS, and where i HAVE to do my trade in, does not handle Polaris, just Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, and Kawasaki, as they are Norris Motorsports.

I dont find this that much of a problem, i really dont want to have that heavy of a machine! I especially dont want to have to start removin parts just to try and lighten it up!

I plan on keepin my YFZ stock for a lil while and feelin really really slow....but after about a month ill do the boltons.
(I hear that uncorkin these things really wakes it up and makes a world of a difference)

I just hope that the 05seat is a MAJOR improvement over the previous years!

I dont think the 05 seats are TOO much better than the 04 ones (just what ive heard) my dealer doesnt have the 05 yfz's in yet. I hope they do though cuz im sick of standing up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
