CHeck out the CL ad and let me know whatcha think, I am going to look at it on Saturday. I am going to offer him probably no more 1800.....

2005 YAMAHA YFZ450 atv quad

Ripcityrider2010 · 01-25-2012, 08:03 PM

Seems like a decent price. Bike is real clean. Make sure you get the new battery in it and that it runs and idles fine. I would probably offer like 18 or 19 at first though and see what happens.

Coles_55 · 01-25-2012, 08:21 PM

I'm guessing it's going to need an oil change, new air filter, and carbs gone through. The guy said he's gonna get a new battery in before I come and look at it so I can ride it and see if I like it.

Ripcityrider2010 · 01-25-2012, 09:32 PM

Yeah oil change and carb clean sound like a must if it has been sitting.

Coles_55 · 01-25-2012, 11:06 PM

Also forgot to add he is the original owner which im pretty sure this is a good thing. I'm coming from yamaha sleds to quads, how does the maintenance compare?

Coles_55 · 01-28-2012, 12:05 PM

Well going to see the bike I will post some pics if I get it. Is there an online version of the manual?

Ripcityrider2010 · 01-28-2012, 12:54 PM

Yeah. YFZ450 Garage

Coles_55 · 01-28-2012, 02:23 PM

Well I am the new owner! Bike is pretty clean as well, got it for 1800 cash. This is my first quad so I'm sure you all will be seeing a lot of me lol. First thing is oil change, Im gonna see if my dealer has a filter for it I'm sure he does. Should I change the air Fred right away or buy aftermarket? If so whats a good one?

DustyRaptor · 01-29-2012, 12:50 AM

Welcome to the site Coles... hope ya get to ride the YFZ more than you are riding your SXR this season!

Buy aftermarket. I would get a fuel customs intake they come with a filter.

Coles_55 · 01-29-2012, 01:54 PM

Yeah that's what I have been thinking, I see a lot of you guys are running the FCI. Now my question is should I do a full exhaust or just a slip on? I wanna keep my dbs down to mid 90s.

notw · 01-29-2012, 02:33 PM

I have hmf competition series full exhaust its not too awful loud and my power is good but I do hear that I slip on is plenty good unless you really mod the motor alot but I haven't had just a slip on just what I have read..used pipes on here and ebay come up alot at decent prices

Coles_55 · 01-29-2012, 04:09 PM

How loud is the hmf?

YFZ450Rider43 · 01-29-2012, 04:38 PM

Coles I see you're from Wisconsin, honestly, I have a DASA classic, little noisey, but I have talked to several wardens with it on there out riding and never have gotten a ticket. Watch your speed and RPM in residential areas or within earshot of any establishment and you will be fine, the biggest thing is respecting those people, if you do that, they will leave you alone.

Coles_55 · 01-29-2012, 05:09 PM

Ok yeah I run triple pipes on my sled and haven't been hassled yet but that's because I mostly ride in the UP. I will do more research as I don't see me riding for another 2-3 months.

notw · 01-29-2012, 06:29 PM

The hmf doesn't seem very loud compared to others it seems to have good power but I agree dasa would be beter mine just had hmf when I bought it and haven't decided to upgrade yet

Coles_55 · 01-29-2012, 09:31 PM

Well we will see what I can find for a good deal. I may order the FCI intake this week and start the rest of the maint and cleaning this week. I will get some pics up of a before and after.

kahon · 02-05-2012, 12:37 PM

Coles_55 · 02-05-2012, 02:33 PM
