I just turned 18 and started working, and my dad gave me his 06 Ltz 400, slightly modified. I'm so happy, he knew I always loved that quad and gave it to me as a present, and it's street legal too !
F1shittyGarage sxs has faded out finally. The problem is the soft comfy riders need power steering, big ass suspension, no gears , heated thumb grips. It’s more comfy on a grizzly than a sport quad and they do the same thing , go the same speed .
I never broke in a machine and they where always just fine. Most important IMO is to always let the motor get to full operating temperature before running it hard regardless if new or broken it.
Same here. Riding it hard the first few hours is actually good for it since it sits the piston rings better. After I had my mustang cobra rebuilt by a highly reputable shop, I was told by the owner to bring the rpms from 2000 rpm to 6000 rpm and let the engine bring down the rpms back down to 2000 and do that 3 times. And this was right after the 1st start up and it had warmed up from normal driving NOT IDLING.
My ltr450 with walsh suspect and fox shocks gave me the confidence did feel in the yamaha or honda. Handles like its on rails and never worry bout over shooting or landing short on jumps. Amazing machine
Oh man!! Congratulations on the new quad Pete! She's awesome!! I see Mike got his exhaust and it's looking and sounding good!! I see hes been practicing wheelies too! Lol But wow! Its definitely hard to believe there's only a 15 pound difference between your two quads! I tell ya what, you was ripping that 450 like you been riding it all along! Definitely happy for ya! Staying tuned!
Sweet addition. That blue is stunning! I always felt Yamaha had a "meet and potatoes" look to their Blaster, Banshee and warrior. They've made some sleek machines with the Raptor and YFZ. Have fun at Little Sahara. I've been needing to get it there. Just got back from a week at the Hatfield/McCoy trails earlier this morning. My ATC 350X got more attention then previous trips.
Excited for u buddy. My 2011 yfz450x is a monster. Blew it up in 2012 bc of drain plug leaking oil after clutch service. Built the way i wanted after the mistake, this thing is stupid will race any quad I'm ky. Never had a competition. Best race was a mild build polaris 500 outlaw. You've got a real monster
Awesome Pete- just bought one of these myself- HARD TO FIND! I installed the Vortex ECU and I have the FCI intake and Fat Boy 4 National arriving soon- the Vortex ECU brought my 450r out of the bog coma.... it's an entirely new machine. Good luck and great videos!
If I said I didn't have a double take moment when the notification you posted a video came across my phone, I'd be a liar! You have no idea how excited I was to get home and see if this was real! Super stoked to see you on a YFZ! Remember, if you need anything, I got you bro! Can't wait to get a Pete Hagar shirt with a YFZ on it now!!
Happy for you man. Great video and slick rig. 🤘🏻 maybe you could reignite the name “bomb shelter” for the track at the farm? 🤷🏼♂️ a little nod to the huevos vids.
Dude!!! Yes😎🤘🏻 About time! You are gonna love it. I have a 2017 YFZ 450R and my wife has a 2008 DS 450. Edit: Just watched the whole video... You can tell you ride it way more aggressive than your raptor! You're gonna love it man. And wait until you get that Vortex on there! She comes Alive!!😝 I just need a precision now after watching this, and you need a Vortex lol.
Beautiful!! I got the 2019 YFZ450R SE in the red fades to a darker red...love it... be careful on that thing and have fun trust me you will be satisfied
Get a Curtis sparks exhaust and curtis sparks drop in camshaft if they have the aftermarket CDI box still get that too that gives you a 1000 more RPMs. you will not be disappointed i have that on my 400EX its very loud and woke as much as you can get before hard mechanical work like boar kits and shit. Im very happy with the 3 Curtis sparks mods I put on mine
@@kdcustoms1272 i have the full system and the sparks drop in cam and sparks after market CDI box which gives me a 1000 more RPMs. It woke my quad up alot without boring it out.
Pete as a previous yfz owner, I would watch out for that chain. If you don't put some kind of protection and check your chain tightness, your gonna cause damage to your transmission. I'm only telling you that bc this happen on my '19 yfz. Broke the transmission on a rock and that costed me big money to get it fixed. That transmission didn't even have lot of hours on it. Sorta the reason why I got rid of it and traded it for a '20 raptor se
Thanks for the heads up! It’s going to get some protective parts to help prevent those types of things from happening. I hope you like your new Raptor! They’re super fun too 😬
Hey Pete! Nate from Star Cycle told me about your videos. I ride at the Kato Cycle Club! I got a 2019 yfz450 this summer, and had to get it from Nebraska. Put an FMF pipe and nerf bars on it. The pipe really brings it to life and it sounds way cooler. I agree! It is very stable and super easy to drift! I like your videos! Keep working hard!
Hey Adeline. I remember Nate mentioning your picked up a 450! Congrats on the quad, it sounds like you’ve been having fun! Maybe we can connect for a local rip sometime 😊🤘
its awesome to see someone actually respecting the machine they just bought and run the engine in smoothly, rather than thrashing it right out the gate. cudos man. size wise whats it like? I had an ltz and regret letting it go, want to get a new quad, thinking this or a raptor 700. im 6ft4 though so tricky to get a smaller bike without looking like the BFG riding it
Thanks man! The Raptor 700 is definitely the more comfortable out of the 2. I have a few taller friends and they fit perfect on them. I really enjoy riding the YFZ if I want to be more aggressive but the Raptor definitely has its place for those fun, casual rides 😊👍
Watchin this makes me remember when i got my first clutch quad (09 250 raptor) and my dad tellin me too put around and not to go above a certain gear but mind you i was only 11 or so as well which was alot of power comin from a 90cc viper
@@dylanhouck7458 Haha your funny bent mine too many times you must not ride that hard! not about how fast you go! We all know they are faster than a honda. Weal frames you will learn
100% agree with you at around 2:30 ish. I had 2 trx450's and lost both in the Camp fire out here in cali and i was looking and looking for trxs but end the end it was just much better to go efi so i bought 2 yfx450r and have not looked back since.
I really don’t get how to pull wheelies that easy, if any body can give me some tips or recommendations for videos I would appreciate it, also congratulations Pete welcome to the yfz family 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You inspired me to get a sport quad so I picked up a 07 z400. Haven’t got to ride to much because the chain kept popping off. But I just installed new rear axle,sprocket and chain. Now it should be good to go!

Welcome to the YFZ family! Cheers from Lima Peru 🇵🇪
Honda needs to bring back the 250R, 400EX, and 450R
They only went away because no one bought them.
I agree. They are great machines. People are just too lazy nowadays. They’d rather spend 20k and drive a mini car. I don’t get it
They still got 450 cc lol
FaKe Jacob nobody really cares
F1shittyGarage sxs has faded out finally. The problem is the soft comfy riders need power steering, big ass suspension, no gears , heated thumb grips. It’s more comfy on a grizzly than a sport quad and they do the same thing , go the same speed .
I love watching people pick up their toys.. idk why. I cant wait for that feeling of picking up my 2021 can-am sxs after months of hunting one down.
Pete: Gets a whole box of precision products “ooh look at the little stickers!”
As his brother.. Can confirm he is like this with everything
Lol I'm the same way 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chris Hager the guy in the backround ,ohh i like stikers
Pete when are you putting an exhaust on that beast waiting for the video

If you haven't yet, you need to check out Durham town in GA.17 tracks. Miles of trails.Its quad heaven.
I got a brand new raptor 700r today to
Congratulations! #savesportquads 😬🤘
Congrats bro, big accomplishment 🤙🏻
Congrats
What made you get a raptor im considering getting a raptor or the yfz next summer. Have you test rode other quards
eddiesgsr do you want top end power or top and bottom power? Do you want to shift a lot or chug through gears?
Ha! I knew this would happen. Pretty awesome to have the best of both Yamaha worlds. Enjoy!
That things a beauty... I’ve always been impressed with yfz’s suspension
How much can it handle is what I’ve been wondering
Christmas came early! A KFX and a YFZ in the same video with Pete. Awesome.
Omg no way!!! I'm so happy for you!!!
I bet the raptor sits more now 🤣🤣
ononewheel7 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yfz gang 💪
Thanks Pete I've always loved Yamaha the only solders letting the game again history has repeated itself once again hail Yamaha!!!
I just got my Yamaha 450 back from its tuneup!! Gonna ride Ocotillo Wells tomorrow!!! Safe riding yall!!!!
You got a YFZR! Hell yeah! Best quad around
This makes me want to own a YFZ450 even more now I’m loving the new addition 🤘🏽
No way!!! Congrats cant wait for the videos on this
I just got a Yamaha blaster and I absolutely love it. Congrats on the yfz Savesportquads🤘

Super fun video to watch; thats an awesome little riding spot!
Heck yea Pete, you will love it! Just picked up a 2020 too!
Bought me a new 2020 YFZ 450 R SE over the summer. Wicked machine for sure!
Congratulations Peter! Great video as usual quad brotha.
Welcome to the YFZ450R club! The new machine is sweet! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
I love to watch things I can't even afford in my dreams.
I'm glad my 2020 yfz 450r isn't the only one that sounds like the bottom end is about to go.
Pete you could totally rock a mullet 🤘 Congrats on the purchase
Lol too late on the mullet idea 😅 hopefully next season we can connect again in Michigan 👍
Makes me feel like taking both mine and my wife’s 2018 Raptors out every time I watch! 😁
We call them our “twins”
That quad is gonna sound so good once you get an exhaust. Can’t wait!
I have a 04. You won’t be disappointed. But do a fci intake, dasa exhaust, vortex ecu and it will really wake it up.
Sweet addition. That blue is stunning! I always felt Yamaha had a "meet and potatoes" look to their Blaster, Banshee and warrior. They've made some sleek machines with the Raptor and YFZ.

I recommend getting a TRX 450 one day those things are amazing especially the older ones that have a kick start it just sounds amazing!
Jay Cee yeah they are the most reliable too
Nah they quit making them for a reason, they couldn’t compete with Yamaha lol.
The yfz and trx are two of the best quads out there you can’t go wrong with either of them
