See the problem is, Honda Recalls there mistakes, Yamaha just puts their bike out no matter what is wrong with it:
(Rapter, bad axle, a-arms,ETC).
(Banshee air box, air filter set-up).

 

400xxx,
I agree completely with you! Its all about the thrill of riding, and for me it is a thrill! I don't care who I ride with or what they ride, its the riding thats the $hit! All companys have had recalls of one form or another, it doesn't mean they aren't well made over all.
I went riding with a Raptor, a couple of 400ex's, and a few Banshees last weekend and had the best time! It was a performance mismatch I'll admit, but it was fun watching the different quads and their strengths and weaknesses. When it was all said and done, I was able to keep up with those sport quads, and had a damn good time doing it. Even if I was alittle sore the next day!!

Yeah well its better its the break pads then the axle, aarms, carb, (soon to be) swingarm

 

Hopefully this will inspire Yamaha to recall the tin foil frames that they have been putting in their Bnashees.
As far as brand bashing goes remember that every time you point your finger at someone else you point 4 back at yourself.

 

There goes 300exster again ,bla,bla,bla,bla shut your trap for the third time already,no one wants to here your senceless comments in here.Scram Daddy!!!!!!!!!

 

Is 300exster scram daddy?

Glad all you Yamaha guys are concerned about us Honda guys.

Wow, its no big deal it took 20 minutes to install a couple of brackets on my Rancher.

I am glad Honda did the recall, they wanted to avoid a potential problem. Some manufacturers know there is a defect but never acknowledge & let their consumers ride a imperfect product.

Just remember the Kodiak & Raptor had their share of problems in their first year of production also.

 

I hope honda and yamaha don't jump on the aluminum frame band wagon just as honda did with the dirtbikes. Then both would be breaking frames instead of a-arms.

 

YaMaHaRaPtOr. Your going to break your swingarm over my head? What in the hell.....? anyways, its 300exSter and that Whoops thing is getting old, i'v read it 3 times today in SEPERATE forums.
