Thanks for the compliments, your bike's a runner!

I don't plan on putting n2o on the YFZ, but I will probably go alky at some point.

YFZ will be faster than the trx, will take more mods to keep up with exhaust,intake,cammod,jetted yfz.

I heard that the trx is very high mantenance. I heard the oil has to be changed about every other ride and there's also frequent top end motor work to do. I'm not sure, I have the yzf and it's been awesome, but it's something you may may to inquire about.

both are race quads... both need the oil changed often... both quads require the same amount of TLC.
