Raced A Yfz 450

[budlightshee]

well i went to glamis this halloween weekend and my buddy has the new 450 w/ a big gun silencer and head pipe, i beat him all but once, and that was cause i missed a gear. we were racing up oldsmobile.

Is your Banshee stock pipes? or what?

 

Also how did the 450 do in handeling and suspension ride vs the banshee. It looks like it has better suspension than my shee. Don't get me wrong I love my shee but im wondering if it is a good dune cruiser for an alternative atv.

I dont know about a stock shee beating a yzf .I have raced a couple and ridin one They are pretty fast stock quads in a race on hard packed dirt. He was beating everything stock and even a few piped shees. Maybe its not as good up a hill but, overall the quad is nice. I can tell you that riding it it didnt feel all that powerful but , I just got off riding my banshee when I tried his its hard to compare apples and oranges or 2stroke power band vrs 4 stroke torque. What type off mods does your shee have and could it have been inexperenced rider

I went riding this weekend near my parents house in georgia. There is a guy that sent his entire motor to baldwin motorsports and was completely gone through. We dragged a couple of times. He beat me out the hole everytime, i was spinning to hard, but i'd click into 3rd gear, look at'em and just wave bye, bye, didn't even need 6th gear. We jump onto the track and he couldn't keep up, but his suspension was bone stock by appearance, he could've had his shocks redone, don't now.

ya,nice job man. did u start off holeshotting in 2nd?

[tats4life]

I always start in 1st gear unless I'm on the very out side of the starting gate at a race then I'll start in 2nd. When i start in 2nd i have to slip the clutch some much it heats it up sometimes.

[budlightshee]

no mine isn't stock, pretty close though i everything listed in my signature

[budlightshee]

the suspension was a little stiff and the seat feels pretty hard, but if i had an extra $7000 laying around i'd go pick one up

i cant wait until the honda 450r comes out!!!! oh sum kid said the yfz was better cuz it had electric start...well the 450r has an auto decompresion system so it will kick over real easy

 

 

 

 

 

no one knows which is better.....................YET

[Badbanshee_boy]

banshee krazy glad to hear u won the drag, did he give it up willingly (sp)?

i have a buddy that went to glamis a couple weeks ago and he got to take out a couple new 450's and a couple raptors, he knows a guy that is in the R&D for Yamaha and they seem to be having a kick start mod coming out for the 450

[.]

its already out for the 450....it's shave a few more lbs of not having a starter on it. Which will make it lighter than the honda. Hope honda could pull out some more ponies than the Yamaha or has better geometry, cause if not I'd give the nod to the yamaha.

 

It's got the swingarm that helps you launch as well.

 

And I also believe the yamaha has an auto decompression as well, I thought I heard that somewhere, but I could be wrong.

[wasup]

Yes you can just use the YZ450F Cam and you have auto decompress.

[bashee crazy kidd]

yeah he gave it up but i still had to give him 350 bucks but oh well it's a quad. lol my new 400ex pulls whelies for miles it's crazy!!!! i luv it already but im only gonna use it for trails and stunts.

[bashee crazy kidd]

i think the honda has like 55 hp and yami has like 45hp but i could be wrong it was a rumor at that website (this one) i dont knoe were those kidz got the info... but they could be right
