would the yfz b better for trails then the ltr because i love the mx track but where i live theres not alot of them so i need to know which is a better multitasker????? plz answer

[bengelp]

@blahhhhh439 Both the YFZ and the YFZ-R are better trail machines than the LT-R in my honest opinion. The The Yamaha's suspension and power are better suited for trail riding, and with a set of tires and some adjusting, the YFZ-R is a great MX machine right from the factory. I'd have to say that if I were to be given my choice of ONE machine to do it all, I'd take the YFZ-R. Or wait a few more weeks to see what Yamaha has in store for 2012.

what track is that

[bengelp]

@fallenskater53197 It is Los Angeles County Raceway (LACR) in Palmdale, CA. Unfortunately it was closed down this summer after the landowners didn't want to renew their lease. Suckage!

@rc8rsracer Yes, I've ridden the LTR a lot. In fact, it was my quad of choice.  That is... until Yamaha released the the YFZ-R. The YFZ-R has broader power and better out-of-the-box suspension than the LTR.

@rc8rsracer I've heard of some people spitting cranks out of them, but that's primarily people who modify the hell out of them and keep bouncing them off the rev limiter all the time. That'll pretty much puke the crank out of any 4 stroke, so I don't see that as much of a "Yamaha" problem.

No offense, but that track looks boring

[monsterrmann2244]

@TechtodaProductions I woned a Yamaha Raptor 350 for 2 months, it was a 2006, it was completely stock, changed fluids regularly, and that thin broke more often than anything I've ever had. so i got rid of it and got a 2004 400ex, and the only thing i wanted to do was bore it out to get it freshened up brcause it was still on STOCK bore.
