I know there's a bit of nerf bar posts but

My question as I don't know which damn nerf bars to get lol
Its between the gytr full nerfs 400ish$ and pro armor with netted heel gaurd 320ish$

But will the gytr nerfs fit the yfzx or will they stick out past the wheel width ?

So no one has gytr full nerfs on there yfzx

wildbill88 · 06-11-2012, 11:18 PM

Im running the Pro Armors. They are strong. I love them and I wont run any other brand. The only prob that I had was that they fit like crap. putting them on sucked. But once I had them on I loved them

**ctown208** · 06-12-2012, 12:49 AM

Gytr nerfs are wide, more of a mx deal. U should look around or ask some members who run gncc if that would be a problem. I know there's a few that run the x model yfz. U could always buy those bling stars that r on my bike in my sig..

c_meczkowski@yahoo.com · 06-12-2012, 09:47 AM

Well the bike only sees the mx track don't ask me why I got the x then lol
How much do the blingstars run tho they look good on ur bike

c_meczkowski@yahoo.com · 06-12-2012, 09:59 AM

I know the pro armors fit the x model width wise as its in another post just trying to make a decision I won't regret lol
I also need some strong nerfs as I will hit any jump lol I always tell my friend ill always be faster cause I'm a dumbass lol

FyamOahaXracer · 06-12-2012, 10:05 AM

I bought the gytr full nerfs and the are supposed to get here today. I'll try to get them installed sfter I get home from school today and let you know how they fit. I have a 2012 R model but I am narrowing it for xc racing by flipping the rear wheels and using 4+1 front wheels. I'll try to get a pic uploaded on here when I get a chance.

Here's a picture I googled. Its a x model. They don't seem to stick out past the tires.

c_meczkowski@yahoo.com · 06-13-2012, 09:18 AM

Hey fox so did you get them installed how do they look ?
I can get the gytr nerfs for $365
Also ain't that some chit the black gytr are on back order untill the 26th that's what my local powersports said cause I was gonna order the gytrr (to many bad reviews on the pro armor)

By chance does anyone know which nerfs are lighter ?

FyamOahaXracer · 06-13-2012, 09:38 AM

I put them together and installed the nets but have not mounted them to the quad yet. My quads torn down right now and is sitting on a motorcycle jack. I couldn't install the nerfs because the jack sticks out on the sides. I don't know if I'll have time today but I will deffinitely have time tomorrow to install them. It's pretty much just the engine, frame and wiring on it right now so it was for me to try and get it off the jack and onto something else in the the little bit of time I had yesterday, but it will be done tomorrow for sure.

FyamOahaXracer · 06-13-2012, 09:51 AM

I bought mine from yamahaonestopshop on ebay. They were a little more than $365. It was $382 with free shipping. I ordered them the day I bought my quad on June 2nd and they got here on the 12th. When I bought mine they only had 4 left and now they only have one left if. The only thing was that about a foot of the nerf bar was sticking out of the box it came in and there was a huge hole on the side of the yamaha gytr box. Nothing was scratched or damaged suprisingly. They look great and I stood on them while they were put together and on the ground and they feel great. I'll get some pictures up as soon as I get them mounted.

I got mine here too, I have Gytr now on my quad do to the fact u can lower the peg height. They r nice nerfs u won't be dissapointed. I have some pro armor on my 08 and the Gytr seem like a better fit and set all together. The bling stars are hella nice to but I'm a tall guy and they don't lower peg height.

c_meczkowski@yahoo.com · 06-13-2012, 10:59 PM

aha yeah I don't blame yeah ill do the same but that roll design sticker just confused me

I went ahead and ordered some black gytr nerfs so excited there on backorder till 26th so I have to wait n cry till then

FyamOahaXracer · 06-14-2012, 12:35 AM

Tires and wheels are being shipped so I threw the stock ones back on for a picture. I like how they are angled inward towards the front. Once I narrow the front and back if I get the front through I can bang the rear through if it happens to be tight.

I usually have to raise the shift lever but since the peg drops lower than stock I will not have to. I like to ride standing up and be able to up-shift straight from my standing position instead of having to change my standing position slightly to lower the front of my boot if that makes sense? They feel great standing on the quad. It's hard to tell how much of a difference is just in the pegs though because I added a houser +1 stem, and precision shock & vibe clamps today as well. (Along with a precision stabilizer, and quick release fasteners.)

Between the drop pegs, +1 stem, and the clamps adding more height it feels much better than the hunched over feel from just standing on it. Once I get my rear shock back I'll let you know how the pegs feel actually riding it.

c_meczkowski@yahoo.com · 06-14-2012, 12:48 AM

They look awsome can't not wait till I get mine .what is your rear tire width from out side to out side of tire ? I know u have the r but u said u shortend your rear .... So I can c how close and an idea as far as how it will look ...thanks bud

P.s I lovvvvvvvvvve my precision clamps there amazing no more hurt wrist n thumb on huge bad landings

FyamOahaXracer · 06-14-2012, 07:23 PM

Sorry I read this on my phone this morning but forgot to measure when I got home. It's about 48.5" But once I get my new tires and wheels I am flipping the wheels when I mount them to narrowthe rear.

After installing the houser anti vibe stem and precision clamps there seems to be play in the bars. If I more the handlebars a hair I can see the tires budge a little but when I move the handle bars back and forth like only a hairs width back and forth it feels different than if I go do that to my moms 400ex. It almost seems like the rubber pieces in the houser stem are causing it. Is this normal? It's hardly noticable just instead of feeling like a solid mount from the handlebars to stem like on the 400 it feels like the handlebars are connected to rubber mounts (which they are).
