Meant to post these up a while ago.. just a few iphone pics of the beast.

 

2004 Yamaha YFZ450 Limited Edition

Houser + 2 steering shaft, ProTaper Evo bars, ASV clutch handle, Stainless Clutch lines, Terry Cable Stainless Throttle,

K&N filter, Stage 3 AMF jet kit, HMF exhaust, and Parking brake delete.

 

I don't get to ride it as much as I used to but still fun to have around.

About an inch too long for the gate to close... but stays put with a strap or two.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the base bike? Thinking about getting a YFZ. I originally wanted a Banshee, but there seem to be a lot of costs that go into getting one running well.

 

I love the 4x4 quads too, my favorite is definitely CanAm. I've spent a lot of hours on an Arctic Cat for work as well, but I'm not very fond of it.

i felt the same way so i bought a 4x4 and kept my Z400.. having 2 atvs is the way to go. and when 1 breaks you always have another.

 

thats a nice looking yfz, how long have you had it?

Maybe it's because you are at work! I loved my can-am too, but I also love my arctic-cat. They are actually a bit similar.

now there's a plan i like

 

Thanks.. had it for about 4 years now. My cousin bought it brand new in 04. I think it was around 6-7k at the time.. i could be wrong.

 

I had an Arctic Cat DVX 400 before this one. Same platform as the Z400. Loved that thing.. rolled it one too many times though haha sold that one to a friend who wanted to rebuild it.

yeah i really wanted a bigger bike like raptor or a 450 but i bought a kingquad instead and have been happy.

 

i like my Z, they are a little narrow stock, but i extended front like 2 inches and the rear 3 or 4. much more stable.

UGH makes me miss my '05 I just sold. That thing is awsome and you'll have a blast time after time on it. Look into Hot cams, my buddy did them before I bought it from him and it really woke it up.

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
