so i got tired of the shee like fun in a straight line and didnt want to put money into it to get that nice bottom that i have been wanting so found a yfz on CL and traded my shee
already started the tear down kick start kick on order have pics up tonight of it
he used it to mess around on the road and still ridding on stock tires and have the receipts from the fresh rebuild with a warranty on the motor WOOOOOO!

nice dude ...are you getting a kickstarter for the yfz???

yea man i plan riding track and the starter is going out and the battery is bad so i figure spend 300 on batt start ect.... or just buy a kick start kit 200 and said good bye to some weight haha

yea i love having the kickstart its so much easier than battery start ...yea its nice and all but real race bikes dont have batterys

haha if you think that you probly thing you gain hp by applying stickers to your quad

Only stickers that add hp is btb ones! Just sayin.



Congrats on the new 450!

ive ridden yfz's and 450r's and they cant compare to the feel of a banshee. yfz's are nice though. if i was gonna get another one to add to the stable it'd be a yfz or ltr. probably a ltr.

i like the ltrs because of how wide they are stock ...but i think i like the 450r trx most not just because i have one because i know how dependable hondas are

all the guys that are local to me have problems with the starter and and starter gear/bearings on trx's. there are about 5 of them that used to ride with me. they all sold em after having the starter problems.

one guy bought his new and had it for a couple of months when the bearing detonated and left debris in his motor and blew it. it was under warranty but he had to wait 2 months for parts because they were on backorder.

ive had my trx for a year and the only thing that has broken on it was my grips because i flipped it not a thing wrong with my starter

ltr are terrible i had one in 06 and the motors on them are complete garbage they need to be rebuilt as much as the shee

Did I read this right? Jumping up and down on lever attached to 200psi of compression is easier than pushing a button with your finger? Were you in a saw related accident?

id rather have a kickstart over a eletric start any day

Its not easier but its nice knowing ill never be stranded because of a dead battery haha and my honda has well over a couple hundred miles on it. Maybe even thousands and not too many problems. If there is problems its usually my fault haha and no nothing will ever come close to the banshee feeling. Where I used to shift up on the shee I'm down shifting on the trx haha

he said what i meant to say

haha i do love kick but im getting the kit and it cost as much as i would spend on the long run buying a batt and starter that i need lol

kick starts are more reliable but ive had old 2 strokes with kick starters for so long that if i bought a 450 it would have to have electric start lol

its the same thing just a little more compression thats alll

its more then a little(or i'm just a wimp) 450trx kick start is the reason i traded my wifes for a sand rail. Then she wanted another quad so this time i bought her a blaster. easy kick start and the rail is an automatic so my handicapped mother can drive the grand kids around.
totally off topic but any one got a good banshee seat they want to get rid of mine got stolen a rip or tear is ok

trx are really that bad i thought i mean if you were kicking and kicking it i see where there would be a problem

im 6'1 230lbs and it was a little tuff for me.i loved the thing it pulled like a tractor. in the tree shoots at sand lake id put it in second and it woul climb eneything!!!! and the bike was to heavy for my wife to lift or manover threw tight turns. she is a begining ridder and the bike was just to much for her.

yea i can see where ur comin from where its a little tough its not that bad tho haha im 6'3 like 285

the day i got it
