You would need to spend between $3000-4000 on a stock Z-400 to keep up with a YFZ with a pipe and jetting in anything! So yeah YFZ all the way!!!!

YFZ450 stock for stock, and mod for mod. You put that much money in a yfz450 and you wont catch it Murdr.

I would buy the z400 only because I dont race. I ride trails and fart around. Most I would do to it would be pipe/filter/jet. But thats me.

I would have to disagree there buddy.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Besides bore and stroke, GNC pro production quads have basically all the same mods and they are on a level playing field. I would bet Murdr's Yoshi will put a hurtin on 450's without some kind of machine work done to them, and of course bolt-ons.

Thats zactly what I'am saying, YFZ450 with same amount of money put in as Z400= yfz450 wins. I see what you are saying cuz look at Doug G on the Z. Murdr's yoshi has motor work done to it, so to compare you would have to do some motor work to the yfz, right? You cant mod the hell out of one and not the other, I'am talking mod for mod, meaning same mods on each machine.

Let me tell you something, i have dumped on many heavly modded yfz-450's, not just stock ones. One for example had full exahust, cdi , cams, speical airbox with filter. Another thing you can pick up a z-400 for about 4500-4900 , if you add 2000 for the kit and acc to that and your looking at about 6500. Which is what a yfz-450 is going for.

What your saying is that its cheaper to go with the Z400 and the yoshi mods, than to start with a yfz. Agreed. What I'am saying is give the yfz the same mods as the Z and the Z looses. Not mod the hell out of a Z and only put a few mods on the yfz. Put a yoshi kit on a yfz, along with the same mods you have, will you still win? Equal mods=yfz wins. I would never diss the Z, I love that machine! I have no doubt that you have smoked many a yfz either. I bet that Z of yours is one bad **** and could only dream of having one.

If you bore and stroke the Z to be equal to the yfz, then go mod for mod I think it would be fairly equal.

Like Motox said just look at the gncc quads, William Yokley's z450 has the same mods as
the top running yfz's and he's in the top five. Now for just minor mods like a pipe, filter, and
jets the yfz might have a slight edge due to +50cc's and the 20-30 pound wight differential.
Beside the point it usually comes down to the rider anyways.

I guess I'am just wrong then![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] If I added 50cc to the YFZ via some sort of Yoshi build, and then put the same mods Murdr has on his Z450 yoshi, the YFZ would loose??? Thats the comparison I was looking at.

Where is RC when ya need her?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
