May be the same as the last 10 years but they single handed kept the sport quad alive so that’s still WAYYY more then the rest of the competition
🤘
Boys what a great start to a new series, so stoked for what's to come!!!!!
We are too!
Keep up the great work! Love your vids!
Thanks!
I bought a set of brand new take offs from a 2020 450 for my 2007 Raptor 700 R SE, and I love them! Work great for trails, supplying great traction, with the ability to break loose on command!
Yeah they're pretty good.. The fronts should last quite a while too..
I did the same! Great combo!
Love your channel Sir!!!
Thanks Brother!
Nice tutorial Chad ! At least Yamas still bringing it ! Not only when , where , but what to ride ! Nice problem to have … let’s go !!!
Thanks Mikey!!
Love my new yfz450R, Team Yamaha 🏁
💙
Great Review, love my Yfz450r
Thanks!
I've had banshees, trx250r, yfz450 and yfz450r. The R is my favorite all around quad!
I think the ltr450 gives it the best competition.. That's why we're planning to do that comparison.. But yeah the R is sick!
Pretty sweet unit!
Thanks brother!
Yamaha should bring back the banshee.
Great intro to new YFZ450R! It's an awesome machine. Heard we will have '23 YFZ450Rs & Raptor 700Rs THANKYOU YAMAHA! Def gonna get a '23 YFZ to add to my '10 YFZ & '21 Raptor.
Thanks! I just did a video on the 23s as well!
Great video fellas. Had an 06 50th anniversary edition. Sold it to buy my Raptor 700. Wished I had kept it. Could've had the best of both worlds. Really wanting a can am 450 tho to go with the Raptor. A exhaust, vortex ecu and fci intake. She will come alive...
Thanks! I love the Anniversary editions. FB had 16 Anniversary Raptor in black and yellow, it looked great!
My son had one and loved it! My son complained about the bog all the time when he was trying to follow us on the trails. On his own or in the dunes, it ripped for sure!
Thanks Broknex!
Was it pre-fuel injected model?
Great video content! Yamaha went from yamaNAH to Yama-hey girl how you doiinnnn once every other manufacturer stopped making sport atvs….not that it wasn’t deserving attention before, but before it was easy to be biased towards other manufacturers. Looking forward to more content man!
Thanks true! Ask guys like Joel Hetrich or Chris Borich. I'll bet they tell you Yamaha looks pretty good right now 🤣🤣🤣... Good thing we're not afraid to play on the used market 🤘
Have a 2021 Yfz and love it. Would love to see a comparison video with the Lt-R!
🤘
That ds650 tho. DA BOMB!
She's a big ole girl! Pretty fun for a rip but not the kind of chick you make long term plans with..
That anti theft device you advertised seems pretty legit, I usually just bicycle lock my stuff to the trailer when I’m not riding it around the trails or if I brought an extra unit. Thief’s are everywhere, be cautious guys
I don't normally do advertisements, but one of our viewers had his brand new Grizzly stolen a couple weeks after he bought it.. Monimoto is well respected in motorcycle circles and they agreed to send me a device to give him, so I made an exception. They actually work perfect for ATVs being weather and shock proof.
The ole yammy banger is hard to beat
🤘
i know the YFZs Doc and Wheelin Dylan bought ran terrible until we got the ECUs reflashed, and the other YFZ Dylan bought had a Vortex ECU and it ran amazing. love seeing The Viking with a new YFZ though! sorry for the lil disappearance boys but i'm back!
Welcome back Lando!
Nice
congrats on the YFZ. once u beef it up a little ull never look back. I love mine. I hardly ever hit the bog unless on getting ON IT!
Unless on getting on it? What does that mean? You baby the bike so you don’t feel the bog?
@@Fox250R no, only time it bogs is when i go from zero to full throtle as fast as i can push the throtle.so it never happens while im riding, only if im reving the engine basicly. has to be super fast stabs on the throtle.
Into was hilarious 😂
😁
my 2022 isnt as bad on low end power delivery as my 17 was when it was stock. my 2022 is actually pretty livable in comparison
That's interesting.. Last one we had was an 08 so it didn't bog at all. I think my 2020 Raptor bogged a little worse than the yfz when it was stock..
@@DirtObseXXion it could be that its just a good runner from the factory as id imagine they dont all run identical. the way you guys describe the low end power delivery sounded about right for my 2017. it seems like i can lug my 2022 down lower without the chatter. it was a pleasant surprise
Wow awsorme I got the 2008 yfz450 yamaha it's one he'll of a ride 👌😁😍🤙
Great vid boys 🤘pretty soon you will have a yfz 🤣🤣🤣 better hurry rumors are flying around again that no 2023 models will be produced (this has been being said since 2020 🤣) hopefully its that just a rumor. I am working on a new blacked out build soon.
With Yamaha doing a media event this year, I'd imagine they'll stick around... Sweet deal, your last black one was awesome
@@DirtObseXXion ya I’m sure they are not going anywhere. Oh ya still my favorite build to date.
I'm sorry guys but watching you guys on them sport quads is funny as hell especially this video the viking is plum out of breath after a short run on that yfz hahaha and no wonder it's quiting on him and bogging it's not made for crawling around like he's doing ride that quad wide open or nothing bro LET HER BREATH !!!!!
how do you know how long he rode?
I double dog dare you to come to an IXCR and race him..
get a vortex ecu for the yfz450r. it will get rid of the low end bog and make the quad run alot cooler because it turns the fan on at a lower temp. the vortex works alot better than the piggy back fuel controllers
We had actually talked about that in the video but I edited it out.. That and the PEP tune are what we always hear from the guys running em.
@@DirtObseXXion yea the pep tune is pretty nice i have it on my vortex. the hot set up is an FCI intake, exhaust, then vortex. i also swapped the cams in mine to the 06 yfz carb model intake cam and the 09 yfz450r efi exhaust cam. that with the intake, exhaust, and vortex will get around 48-50 hp out of them. the cams swap is worth 2-3 hp
Make a big bore 2 stroke in a 450 chassis
Although this quad has lots of major flaws stock, these are easily and expensively fixed lol. Clutch basket needs replaced with old version before it explodes, vortex ecu, and a front end with a castor bracket and ltr450 front spindles
Good points.. We were impressed with a lot of the design elements on this machine but I think most agree it's a platform that has to be built to pull full performance out of it... The LTR was WAY ahead of it's time.. Shame it's gone.
@@DirtObseXXion for sure it’s a huge shame. I rode Honda my whole life but have been forced to switch to the Yamaha. It cost way more money to get race ready then a Honda but after you do it’s an amazing quad and the rear suspension is so much better then Honda I kind of wish I switched sooner
@@DirtObseXXion also the yfz shocks are a premium shock they have dual speed compression and everything they can be redone to be competitive with with almost any aftermarket but most a arms are for longer shocks
gotta slip the clutch a little on that YFZ. the factory bog sux. I still have my bog even with a power commander and exhuast also uni air filter/open box.
Good to know.. Seems like guys have good luck with the Vortex
Are there still issues with the clutch baskets exploding
God I hope not... 🙏
Yep!!!! Swap it out for the old version
Still planning to do some head to heads against the other 450s?
No, unfortunately we didn't end up making it work out... The Viking decided he didn't want to keep the YFZ, he's sticking with Honda for race bikes..
Hey guys! I do have a newbie question for you...in comparing your 450R to a 700R; I own a 2022 Raptor 700R...and I am overweight (350+). As such, I have had some issues on trails where SxSs have rutted out the trails. I have tumped over a few times because I fear I am too top-heavy.
I have considered getting a widening kit for the Raptor... But I am a bit concerned about losing the benefit of the magical suspension that comes with the 2022 Raptor. Do you have any insight on this other than losing weight? Is the stock 700R really that "tippy"?
I saw a video about the 700RR and how they widened it to 50 in...and of course, the YFZ 450 stock is quite wide as well.
Any thoughts you have on this will be so appreciated!
Thanks!!
You're gonna be fine on a Raptor.. I rode my 2020 stock for 2yrs before doing a-arms and suspension.. The width makes it agile and maneuverable.. The yfz isn't a good choice for width alone.. It's a race quad and it's character is much different than a trail friendly Raptor.. You'll be much more comfortable on a Raptor too.. They're bigger with more leg room.. We have a 50inch wide Raptor but I kept mine narrow with Houser XC arms because I like the agility and you can center those ruts more easily
@@DirtObseXXion Thanks so much. Please keep up the brilliant reviews you do!
You should drag race the raptor and banshee against the 450.
We don't have the Shee anymore 😔.. Got plenty of quads to race against it though..
@@DirtObseXXion that’s sad. Why did you sell?
@@sethanderson9931 The Viking had it, he sold it in order to build his two 450rs the way he wanted for racing..
Get a new one while you can!
Would someone who is 6’2 fit on a yfz450r?
Yep. It's meant to ride aggressive so the ergonomics aren't super comfortable for anyone but there's plenty of pro Racers 6'2 or taller.. Chad Weinen comes to mind..
@@DirtObseXXion ok thank you
Where are you riding?
Canmer KY..
If you have wide open trails, dunes or track then a 450 is perfect. Tight technical trails, lugging and easy maintenance, then go with a 400. Having the fastest top speed means nothing in the woods.
Completely agree.. The Viking has a couple of these for his race quads this year. Cost a little to build but the high revs and top speed are definitely important for XC racing.
I hate how sport quads always have to be emission regulated to the extreme, seems like it's the only motorsport dealing with it. There are motorcycles up the ass on the roadways, 2 stroke snowmobiles, 2 stroke boat motors, side by sides with giant engines, etc. And yet it seems the EPA only targets quads, which is stupid because they have the smallest user base of all the toys. Damn you EPA.
That's true.. I believe it has something to do with classification because they have 4wheels. MFGs could probably fight it if they felt it was worth it, but Yamaha standing alone makes that fight more difficult and less likely..
"I'm a fan or running the stock tires until they're slick..."
Yes. I'm also a fan of learning the ride before spending money ad nauseum into stuff. People will spend crazy amounts on machines they just threw their leg over without ever learning it and then spend an extra zillion dollars on it without knowing why or what they're doing. I mean, it's their money and modding is half the fun, so I get it; I would just argue it most of the time it's wasteful.
For experienced folks, it makes way more sense; people know what they want and have a basis due to time, trial, and error. That is not the majority of people who buy these (well, at least not historically; given the sport atv's major collapse, the market is likely very different than it was 10-20 yrs ago and buyers get these knowing very well what they are getting onto...not sure). You guys are the exception because you have tons of experience. People will more dollars than sense always make me cringe, but maybe that's just coming from the perspective of a poor boy growing up...who knows..
As always, love your vids and perspectives. Gonna return to the sport side soon. Best days of my life.
I'm with you.. I rode my stock Raptor for two years before doing a build on it, wanted to really know it in stock form for a frame of reference after it was done.. The Viking raced a stock 450r in IXCR last year.. Appreciate the kind words brother!
@@DirtObseXXion You got it, man. Always been a fan of the 450s in any iteration, but I'm a yamaha/honda guy through and through. Have never raced in a race that big. Raced a pro hair scramble in KY back in 1999. Rough times lol. Keep bein awesome, fellas.
@@drawncept8391 🤘
I mean it's nice, but I'll take a 89 blaster all day.
🤘
It needs reverse
pro tip, Vortex or power commander. ur welcome! lol
We keep hearing vortex or pep flash.. We talked about it in the video but I cut it out due to lack of personal experience
@@DirtObseXXion right on. I like vortex cuz u can tune it on the fly. I have a power commander, I wanna upgrade it
The Dept or Making Things Suck ruining things again.
I think I know what you mean..
Time to open up that wallet and spend a fortune on sweet upgrades!
We're trying to encourage him but he keeps making well adjusted adult type decisions.. It's weird 😕
@@DirtObseXXion it was mental health month recently, maybe you should take him in. 😃
@@Team2Gils HAHA!
Than any other modern era quad haha just say it the TRX 250R is the 🐐
I had to choose my words carefully.. I appreciate it when quad guys catch stuff like that.. 🤘
As an ATV motorcycle mechanic we see more raptors in our shop for repairs than any other bike My bone stock TRX450R blows the new raptor out of the water Sorry to say but it's not worth the 10 grand for a for a new 450 I'd rather buy an old Honda or Suzuki zuki and dominate
You see more Raptors because there's a lot more of them out there.. They out sold every other sport ATV by a huge margin.. I'd guess the only thing close is the 400ex.. We're huge fans of Honda and Suzuki too though.. We've got 2 race build trx450r(s), two LTR450s, a Z400, kfx450, DS650, 3 Raptors, and the YFZ.. Raptors are ridiculously reliable as long as you don't put street tires on them and try to ride them like a GSXR... which a lot of guys try to do 🤦♂️
Hhmmm... Interesting... 👍👍

Surya Mulk is indexed with number 67, verse number 30
1 Exalted is He, in the hand of His power is all dominion, and He has power over everything.
2 It is He who created death and life to test you as to which of you does best. He is the redeemer, the forgiver of sins.
3 It is He who created seven heavens pair by pair. In the creation of the Merciful you cannot see any contrast, so direct your gaze if you see any cracks?
4 Then, from time to time direct your gaze, and the gaze will return to you humble and humble.
5 We have adorned the nearest heaven with candles (illuminating stars) and made them archers against the devils, for whom We have prepared a very great fiery punishment.
6 The punishment in hell is also for those who did not believe in their Lord; what a bad place it is!
7 When they jump into it, they will hear its noise and it boils.
8 "Out of anger, it is almost torn. Whenever a crowd enters it, the guard asks them: "Did not a prophet come to you?
9 They say: "Yes, the Prophet came to us, but we refuted him and said to them: "Allah did not reveal anything, and you are alone in a great loss!"
10 And they say: "If only we had heard and remembered, we would not have been among the inhabitants of the Fire."
11 Thus they confess their sins; may the inhabitants of the fire be far from mercy.
12 Those who fear their Lord without seeing him, for them there is forgiveness and a great reward.
13 And you, hide or speak your word openly; there is no doubt that He knows what you hide in your hearts.
14 Does not He who created know, when it is known that He penetrates into the depths of secrets, knows the details.
15 It is He who has made the earth suitable for you, so walk through its parts and benefit from His benefits, because with Him alone is the future.
16 Does he who is in heaven guarantee you that the earth will not shake when it shakes.
17 Does he who is in the heavens guarantee you that he will not send against you any storm with showers of stones. Well, you will understand what My punishment is like!
18 Even those before them lied, but what was My punishment?
19 Did they not see the birds above spreading their wings, and when their wings are folded, they are held in the air by none but the Almighty. He is the one who sees and knows everything.
20 Who is that army of yours that will help you except the Merciful? It is true that the disbelievers are in a great deception.
21 Who is it that feeds you if you cut off its supply? No, but they continue in arrogance and abomination.
22 Is the one who walks upside down with his face on the ground better guided or the one who walks upright on the straight path?
23 Say: "He is the one who created you, gave you hearing, sight and understanding, and you thank Him little."
24 Say: "It is He who created you and multiplied you on earth, and to Him alone you will be gathered."
25 And they say: "When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are true?".
26 Say: "Only Allah knows this, and I am only a rebuke who warns you!"
27 "When they see it (Hell) approaching them, those who disbelieved, their faces became ugly, and it was said to them: "This is the one you were looking for earlier!
28 Say: "Tell me, if Allah takes away my soul and those who are with me, or has mercy on us, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"
29 Say: "He is Merciful, in Him we have believed and in Him alone we have relied, and you will understand exactly who the lost one is!"
30 Say: "Tell me, if your water is lost in the deep, who will bring you surface water?"..
First impression: the same as the last 10 years, not even new colors...
Still had the new quad smell tho.. I wish they could bottle that shit!
That is what happens when there is no competition in the class....
Calling this a first impression video is a little generous lol
Why? It was the first time we had it out..
@@DirtObseXXion that's fair but it just seems funny to see a first impression video of something that hasn't seen much more than bng for a decade.
Perhaps a first impression of a Rincon 680 or a brute force next :p
@@alexmaclean1 maybe you should just appreciate someone cares enough to continue to make two legitimate sport quads and media outlets still choose to give them press
@@powersportsenthusiast1986 my comment was neither a dig at them for covering it, nor one at yamaha for producing it, it was just finding it funny that they were giving a first impression of something that's been around for such a long time.
Same old same old lol
At least it's new.. Finding good stuff on the used market is getting tougher. And nothing beats new quad smell...
Pipe her, tune her, intake. She’ll rip. Emissions 🙄 We should ban private jets first 😆
🤘
I mean it's nice, but I'll take a 89 blaster all day.
