those new

lt-r450's are apparently unreliable....just thought yall(lmao...) should know that...lol

and here's why:
my brother works at the local bike shop, and there is this rich kid that comes in all the time, well about a week after they came out his punkass got one...but anyways as i was saying...about a week ago he brought it back...the thing BLEW THE **** UP!!!!the timing chain went straight through the top of the block and busted the plastic all to hell...and ****ed his leg up...but the thing is that the kid is a SQUID...he doesnt ride it hard at all...i'm not saying there slow by anymeans...and believe me when i say..doug gust will SLAUGHTER everyone...they are FAST!!!but i guess the thing that people(SQUIDS...or ******* depending on your style of insults...)dont understand, and that is that a racer has his quad rebuilt after EVERY race...so when you buy something that is made strictly just for racing...you better have a big *** wallet to pay to fix it....

but i felt like telling someone about that who like me wants one more than anything( )but cant afford to fix them, and i figured i may convince someone to get a Z instead....

but thanks for reading this...and please...join the Z community. you wont be dissapointed...trust me

Yeah, there's a guy that goes to school with my friend that has one and he says the chain tensioner keeps fuggin' up and there's all kinds of stupid things happening. it's the first year for it, give it time, I mean everyone must remember the first (c)Raptor that Yamaha put out, all kinds a trouble.

Re: those new

I think it just depends on that single quad. People talk about problems all the time with SDG's and I havent had one...I i kill that thing. So in a sense i think its all like a fallacy thing that people take overboard. Obviously if you work in a shop your going to see broke down bikes...thats what a shop is for!!! The TRX450 and 400EX are the number one selling quads right now out here in Chicago. That might explain why your seeing alot in the shop at this time.

Just a thought!! Opinions only but sometimes its not what it realy seems. I try to keep things real and imperspective when it comes to toys.

Re: those new

Is Stuntlife sponsored by Suzuki or somethin? By a Z! Buy a Z! If you can't find balance point, by a z, if you think you may need a handbrake, by a z, if you hear of a shitty running suzuki buy a z, if you hear of a shitty running, z buy a z!

Well what's up b1itches, honda sent me! Im hear to massacre you all and pee all over your z's....

but f'real, i got a 400ex and a z400 but i'd rather stunt the EX and race the Z. But the Z is a well built machine

(Oh yea, Barry i know you're not just another one on the Z-bandwagon, i got all your old vids dl'd.... i know you been down)

Those things still **** to this day

I personaly don't like Z's either but they must be popular since 3 differnt companies make them. I hate them for the simple fact that they have a balnce point on them the size of a barn which makes stunting easy as hell which probably explains why everyone is sick of stunting them and now selling them. However if they were not quite so top heavy they would make an unstoppable mx quad

Re: those new

on any race machine you are suppose to check the valves topend all that **** after 30-40 hours of riding. its considered "standard" for those machines, i personally like stuff you can go 2500 miles without an oil change lol

Re: those new

i know im stunting a Z in my avatar, but i'd still rather ride the EX. just like the powerband more, and the lower center of gravity. but i do love the seat on the Z, it feels like it pushes you to the front and over the bars a little, like ur in race mode or somethin... just a good feel.


Oh yea, somebody said the Z is a spinning image of the KFX, i thought kawi paid them to use the design?

lowering kit, and wider a-arms....and a longer swingarm...
