onebanshee Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 I am finally looking for a new quad, and i have decided to get one of the new 450's. Has anyone seen or heard about the new kawi 450. I saw one at the dealer yesterday, they look badass, and their fuel injected. Does anyone know how fast they are suppose to be. I am looking at the new suzuki 450 but does anyone know, if you start doing mods, do you have to update the computer? or does the fuel injection automatically adjust for mods. Anyone opinions or facts are welcome, i need all the advice i can get. thanks all one Quote
black sunshine Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 There was a quite lengthy thread on this a couple months ago, try doing a search. I think a member or two on here have LT450s. Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 I'm not sure what info you'll find here http://www.kfx450central.com/ I was at the Yama Dealer last week and saw the Black/White one. Looked pretty nice. Quote
Ben Michalak Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 yeah looks nice, looks like teh same taillight as the 05/06 zx6r lol. But as for fi, yeah you need a power comander or simmler when you do engine mods and you need maps for them so it runs better. Aftermarket companies i am sure will make maps for their pipes etc, so not to worry, just need to buy a fi controler. Ben Quote
mxturd Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 Ive got an LTR450 with a cherry Bomb, airbox lid removed and spark arrestor removed and it moves pretty good, Ive beaten YFZ's and 450r's with pipes and filters, Almost everyone I know with a YFZ that has ridden mine wish they had it, but the Honda guys really like their 450r, ohh and the fuel injection will compensate some but the more mods you do you will need a power commander or some other EFI commander Quote
BansheeRider71 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) I say YFZ-450 because I had one that was fully modded out no big motor mods an with a full pipe, jet-kit, K&N pro flow, dirtbike cams, rev box and a few adjustments to the carb, lile quick shot an a fuel screw, an some other stuff, they dynoed my YFZ and it was at 50hp plus I ran with some modded banshee's an outran a few of them. I say YFZ because its the only other quad I would have besides a Banshee, that an it leaves my friends 450R in the dust everytime his 450R has a new motor , been ported & polished and cam, 13:1 hi-comp piston , and a white bros pipe, the people that built my YFZ did one hell of a job because I didnt have as many motor mods as him and I left him in the dust everytime we raced. But I traded in my YFZ to get a new Banshee. I say get a YFZ. Edited March 22, 2007 by BansheeRider71 Quote
BenBB Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Anyone else read in the new ATV Sport that Tim Farr signed with KTM?? I'm curious what they've got comin' in a 450 and possibly the big-bore class... Quote
Rustbag Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 I know the old KTM 550 dirt bike was a beast. It'd be kewl if they made a quad around that motor. Quote
ThE_BaNsHeE_mAn88 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 the new kfx 450 is a badass bike, i think it will be better than the ltr, theres going to be like 0 bump steer. i would seriously look into it good because i would probly get it. Derick Quote

bada450r Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 will you need the power commander if simply replacing complete exhaust? nope all youill need is a cherry bomb,also to add to this thread i have ridden yfz,and trx,and suspension is shit,and everyone knows that it doesnt matter how strong of a motor you got if you cant put the power to the ground,your motor is worthless.all 450 run about the same,its rider when mods are the same.i say zuk 450. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Quote
bada450r Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 ditto banshee man do ever ride pismo in the summer?i guess me,and you can have our own cub vs cub,and ltr vs yfz drag race.would be fun. Quote
