I'd Ride a Kawasaki,Suzuki and Honda any day over a Yamaha.There junk and arn't made right and break all the time.I had an 04 TTR 225 only had the thing for 4 months and it already started over heating.I would stop every few hours and let it cool off and it still would run like sh**.Aslo my starter was going bad and my battery would always die >:I even blew a fork seal and i dont ride hard at all only trails and a few times at croom and ocala(My friend Jacob has a boat motor made by Yamaha and its fairly new and we went out to the Island last weekend and when it was time to come back the rubber piece that held the gears up broke we had to go 10 miles at 10 mph and let me tell you its not fun and you get a 2nd degree burn
.My friend vinnie has a 2000 warrior and he takes really good care of it and the d**n reverse broke one day while he was riding.And everybody wonders why Banshee's are in the shop all the time It's because Yamaha doesnt know how to make sh**.So that is why im buying a KFX400
becasue the only thing that broke on my friends kawasaki was one bolt on the foot guard and its an 04 and he rides the hell out of it.Sorry all you Yamaha fans but That company sucks.Get a Kawasaki,Suzuki or honda
Thanks David p.s. I know my Name says Yamaharider15 but i cant change it otherwise id change it to Kawiboy
