need advice on yzf450

[racer714]

Im thinkingof getting a yzf450 and was wondering if any of you can tell me how it handles down low? Is it difficult/a handful to control just putting oround like a stock shee is? Would i still be able to putt around with my friends on their utility quads in the wood s,fields, etc?? It was very hard to do with my banshee when I first got it in stock form. I really like the idea of electric start, and they seem to be the way of the future. Prob still keep the shee too, so no worries! thanks in advance

By what ive heard its a great allaround bike, so if you need to go it will go, and if you want to putts, you can putt around on it. And yes, you xcan keep up with a stock banshee...and some modded ones.

if you so run it slow on trails run it with the lights on. that will turn on the charging system. the charging system on it is made to run at a high rpm, or if it has a load on like the lights. my brother in law learned this while trying to brake in his motor nice and slow, that darn thing would have a dead battery, and would not start. run the lights no more problem. you will need to loosen up the preload on the front shocks about 4 turns also unless you are a realy big guy. they are to tight from the factory.

that is a very nice bike. handles very well, plus it is lite so you can throw it around turns and realy just get an overall completel handle of the bike.

These 4 stokes are realy fast stock. you dont have to go and put a hole bunch of $$$ in them like you would a banshee. Plus it keeps up and sometimes beats alot of modded shees. This is the best bang for the buck.

 

 

I love my banshee but I just gotta keep it real with you.

They putt just fine. On slow technical trails I'll take the yfz over the shee anyday. You can lug it around a gear high and it just pulls and pulls. When you open her up its fast, but not nearly as fun as the shee.

sounds to me like the 450 is the bike for you. easy to ride fast or slow and handles pretty damn good even when stock. i say go for it, you wont be disappointed. i have 2 banshees and a yfz450 and the yfz out handles both of them..
