Title: Re: 2006 Yamaha Post by: Numkut on June 15, 2005, 01:36:53 AM Holy cow, Yamaha is the champ. Also in Dirtbikes they got best 125,250f,250(arguable), hopefully with the new frame/5 speed tranny 450.
Title: Re: 2006 Yamaha Post by: redrider on June 15, 2005, 01:09:00 PM yamerhammer has done alot to IMPROVE the yfz. all the improvements might let it keep up with the 450r now ;D
Title: Re: 2006 Yamaha Post by: 53yfz450 on June 15, 2005, 08:00:41 PM last year a yfz450 was faster than a trx450. i hope yamaha fixed the thumb throttle on the 450 that thing is crazy it makes your thumb hurt after 5 laps.

Finally, I have been thinking this since I got my yfz 450 but didn't ever say anything because I didn't want to look like a "girl". It is soo much harder to hold the throttle wide open on my yfz 450 for 5 laps compared to my z400. I heard there is a spring that you can cut that makes it easier. If anybody has more info on this let me know! Title: Re: 2006 Yamaha Post by: backinsaddle on June 16, 2005, 11:41:25 AM try this:

I really appreciate it and I am really glad i am not the only one that feels this way. It's like they were saying it isn't bad just cruising around or joy riding for 1 or 2 hours but racing is a whole nother story.
