Is it possible to make a YFZ feel bigger? I would love to own one, but they feel too cramped for me. I know I can get an aftermarket steering stem that is a few inches taller, or handlebars that are a bit taller. But what about an inch taller seat? And does anyone make footpegs that are an inch lower than stock?

Thanks.

 

i dotn know if they make them for the YFZ but IMS has teh race pegs for teh raptor. an inch lower and and inch to the rear than stock. really nice.


I got a brand new +2 roll design stem that i would trade for a +1

 

I,m a big guy and the only thing i had a problem with is the bars seem too low. i,m gonna get a bigger stem.

 

6'2' Get a larger stem makes a world of difference.

 

you could add foam padding to your seat...

 

It's funny how people refer to the YFZ as little. It's actually wider and longer than the Raptor. Just happens to be lower with short handle bars to boot.

Some high rise bars will fix the problem if it's that big of a deal to ya. I'm 6'2" with no complaints yet. Of course I have yet to see what the big deal about the throttle and seat is either.

I don't notice the seat being hard until i sit on another quad, but it's fine by me.

 

i love the look and hear the performance is great but when i sat on one it felt like a power wheels. lower and short handle bars do make it smaller. it feels like a toy to me but man do they run. i was considering one until i heard bombardier is coming out with something new that should smoke the competition in 06. all in all the yfz IS the best all around bike out right now. yes i said it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

yeah u can add foam to your seat so in a way u r hitting to birds w/ one stone comfort and well more comfort

 

I'm not worried about how hard the seat is. People that complain about a hard seat on the YFZ should try riding a new motocross bike, like my YZ 250. Dirt bikes have hard seats, not quads, LOL.

The problem I have with the YFZ is that the distance from the foot pegs to the seat is too short, and the handle bars are too low. It feels like the handlebars are about ankle high, and my knees need to bend too much when I am sitting on the seat. I have had knee surgery twice, and now have arthritis in my knee. When I ride a YFZ for more than ten miles or so my knee stiffens up so bad that I just about cant move. I don't have that problem nearly as bad on my DS, or my dirt bike, because I don't have to sit on a seat that is so low in relation to the foot pegs.

Does anyone know of a company that modifys the seat to make it an inch taller, ... perhaps Temecula Racing? I don't want to have to take it to a local upholstery shop and try to explain what I want, I would rather just call someone that has already done it several times and knows what to do.

Maybe I'll call Roll Design and see if they have a set of one inch lower foot pegs for a YFZ. I'd really like one of those yellow and black bad boys [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
