YFZ4KT

Shovel Boy
k....lol...i was thinking that....
SHOCKER
Any mod you do to you motor you will have to rejet
Bronc-O-Boy11
YES
Didn't you just buy this thing.....Ride for awhile 1st bro, don't fix what ain't broke. Besides, wouldn't that VOID any warrany you got with the bike?
Shovel Boy
im getting the parts over the summer....no one is ever satisfied with stock quads...I WANT MORE POWER!!
Rubberneck
You bought this quad because it was cheaper than the YFZ and the TRX. Now you're dumping more into it? It's gonna end up costing more than the other bikes. Plus you'll never get the money out of it. Especially when you try to sell it once it starts making noise. icon_wink.gif
Bronc-O-Boy11
Should have bought the YFZ bro
SHOCKER
Could of got a Z droped money into pipes, jetting, filter set up, cams and dyna ignition and it would beat many bikes, droping about 1200 dollars into a Z will be just as much as getting that raptor and you would be able to smoke the raptor

agreed
Shovel Boy
you guys think that because i want a 100$ piston and 100$ cams that i want to spend thousands on it??? no.....
shagy
i dont think that
SHOCKER
No i was talking to everybody,i would of got a raptor but we got a Z because it was affordable, but i dont think you can get cams for $100 and a good piston for $100, besides you have to think that some pistons have a higher compresion and sometimes you would have to run race gas, and if you were to get soem cams get the hotcams intake and exhaust, which you might need some heavy duty valve springs so the valves close faster, there alot to think about, just ask us about anything and you will get a good response, so what cams and piston wre you thinking of?

i was scanning ebay today, i saw a 13:1 wiseco high compression piston for 139 today
Shovel Boy
a 11:1 Wiseco pistong for $99.99 and Hotcams Stage 1. $134 i think
Rubberneck
Shovel Narb, remember you're gonna lose a little reliability. You might have to run race gas too. It's not cheap...

If you were planning on doing all of these mods before you should've went with another bike. Not trying to rag on you at all. But I've seen the stock YFZ's and I'm very impressed at their performance. Stock Raptors let me down.

with an ltz 400, you only need race gas if you go above 12:1 compression
Rubberneck
Is that the same for the raptor? He doesn't have a ltz.
Shovel Boy
i know with a 11:1 for a raptor you need 93 octane...

Your nuts if your think your only going to spend a couple hundred bucks for those performance mods..

You will need to alter/replace the intake, filter, jetting/carb/exhaust.

Do the pistion and cam first and you will break.. be smart about it.. Do the intake and exhaust first to wake that bike up.. there is alot of power in just that alone.. Then decide if you want to tear in to internals..

Dang kids.. 25chatter.gif
Rubberneck
Yeah. Listen to father time (Chummin) laughing.gif

Not hating SB, they are very fast and powerful. I have ridden them, and do not feel stable on them, IMO they need a longer swing arm and wider a-arms. I ride DS650, so I am a little spoiled with suspension! laughing.gif
SHOCKER
They are only 3" taller than the banshe and yfz, the yfz and banshee are the same height, they are only 1" taller than my Z, and only 1" lees wider
