HolySheet Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 You either have bad luck or you suck at maintaining shit. I bought my YFZ brand new in February 2006. Since then it's had one piston put in it and had the valves checked once. I change the oil like twice a year. It still runs pretty good and I really beat on my shit. Bad luck I reckon. But I really dislike how picky it is to changes. Just a slip on and it was poppin and shooting flames. Adjust needle and re-jet fixes it. K&N Air filter, runs like shit, change main jet, move needle again. Modify airbox, runs like shit, adjust mixture screw, change pilot and its fixed. Just irritated at how sensitive it is.

booxzzy Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 never rode 250 but yfz450r is good choice for any kind of riding but not as fun as banshee,banshee is the most animalistic quad ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 are we really talking about 4 strokes here?? vs racing a banshee... here is my humble opinion.. trails a 700 raptor NOT 660!!! is a great machine. if you like to just put around. but then again so is a golf cart..... the 250r is a fun hobby bike. its extremely outdated and in my opinion an antique design that is nearly impossible to get some trans parts for including cases. ( unless you dont mind spending big bucks) as far as MX racing any of the top current 4 stroke atv's would pound the 250r into the ground. the suzuki 450 alone has WAY better ergo's and the motors are so smooth that even box stock i'd rather race one than a comparable 250r.. current 450's box stock race version is even much better. plus easy to get parts for.. the bombardier 450 is a bad ass as far as design and tech goes. but in a "drag race" i'd always take a banshee over all of them.. to me personally its the king of the 2 strokes. of course this is my opinion.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea an 86 250r is just a dinosaur compared to an 87 banshee design that barely ever changed Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomesteadBanshee Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I promise that's what I say but I ridden the bike myself and it flys and it we checked it with a radar gun it tops out a 84 mph and it's bone stock...

Tech AS Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Either it is very modded or has some tall sprockets or your radar gun is fucked. Oh and as far as 450s go, I had an 08 yfz and then bought a ltr with a bent stem for cheap. The LTR walked all over the yfz in every aspect. I originally bought the ltr to flip and ended up selling the yfz. IMO the LTR is still the baddest 450 around, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I search the above and found not a single period, comma, or line break. A single, 300 word sentence. It is absolutely impossible to read. If you can't punctuate, at least limit what you type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
