The TRX450Rs & YFZ450Rs were def faster stock I think. Possibly better suspension too. Definitely wider! That Kawasaki does sound good. *My '10 YFZ450X sounds good as well but also has less than 10hrs since new* . I need to ride more. 😕

[@DirtObseXXion]

I'd say you're right about the speed, and the yfz has better suspension for sure, not so sure about the trx.. What we really like about the KFX is how planted it feels for its narrower width.. You definitely lose some suspension because of it, but you gain handling and agility which can make you faster in tighter trails

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

I love this format. Great video.

The not so fast part is definitely true for the stock kfx, did some motor work on mine 490 big bore, 12.5.1 cp Carrillo high comp piston, kx intake cam, webb exhaust cam, ported head, dasa pipe, k&n intake, power commander fc, Hinson clutch, the only reason they’re not so fast stock is the stock intake.

I think for it to go faster you need an aftermarket pipe and an aftermarket intake. I have a fmf full pipe on mine and it keeps up with the raptor 700s. I haven’t really paid close attention to anything else on the bike but it’s fast. Other people that use the Kfx say that they’ve beaten Honda’s and Yamaha’s with it. Maybe all you need are the aftermarket parts for it to be fast. Aftermarket performance parts can be pricey tho.

Yes, as 450s go they're quite a bit different.. The YFZ is racier and higher strung which means it generally needs to be ridden harder to stay in the power and requires a little more maintenance..

Kind of an odd question but some friends of mine have side by sides and do some hill climbs, cross streams and a few rocks. Could this keep up with them or is it mainly a track or more smooth trail ATV? Thanks and great vid.

[@DirtObseXXion]

That's a really good question.. Sport Quads are much more capable than they get credit for, but it definitely requires the rider developing the right skill set.. We ride through pretty tough terrain, it just takes a little more thought, line selection, and clutch/throttle control.. It can be more challenging but it's more rewarding in my opinion.. But.. When you're on a sport quad, no one will be having as much fun as you are once the trails do smooth out a bit.. Really rocky terrain, like crawling stuff, is the only downside of limited ground clearance.. In general you can skirt around obstacles and center ruts to make it where you need to..

[@fredtaylor1205]

Thanks for the response. Yeah I’ve owned a few dirt bikes and ATVs but it was. Grizzly 700 with mudlite tires and Big Gun exhaust. I LOVE being able to shift the gears myself. Automatics are ok but I’m like you it’s so much more rewarding when you pick the right line. The Can Am Renegade intrigued me but for years I’ve seen the KFX450r just be such a solid woods machine. Would you stick with holeshot tires or go with something a little more aggressive? For the middle spots.

[@DirtObseXXion]

@FRED TAYLOR The Renegade is cool but it's really just a typical 4x4 atv with better looking plastics and no racks.. On quads we really like CST Pulse tires.. They seem to have great bite, we've never punctured one, and they last a decent amount of time.. Ive tried a bunch of different tires and I plan on sticking with the Pulse from now on..

[@fredtaylor1205]

Thanks for the great feedback! One more question. Which ATV would you lean towards for someone with experience and rides woods not track? TRX450r, KFX450r, etc… thanks 🙏🏼

[@DirtObseXXion]

@@fredtaylor1205 Lot's of different opinions on that. I like the KFX450, Z400, and Raptor 700 for woods riding. A lot of guys like the TRX450 though. The YFZ or LTR can definitely be built for woods, but they're better on a track out of the box. Don't overlook the Raptor for woods riding. They're more readily available and the aftermarket support is much more vast. But if you find a good deal on a nice KFX450 or Z400, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either of those.. The Z400 feels a lot more powerful than a 400EX. The suspension on the later models is better and it's super light and flickable... We really like that quad too..

[@thatalaskaguy]

Reverse! Kawi was the only OEM that offered that most excellent feature on a 450. But dang it, just like with the Tecate 4, Kawasaki offers an amazing quad and then takes it away after only two year. Somewhere, someone in the world must be the original owner of both a Tecate 4 and a Kawi 450. I bet it is under a handful of guys in the USA. Like under 10.

KTM had reverse too

A 2008 popped up for sale looks like it hasnt been used much, would you recomend it has it been reliable, not gonna be racing just hill climbs and trails i weigh about 250

[@DirtObseXXion]

It's tough to make a reliability claim on a 14yr old quad, but the kfx450 is a much better quad than it gets credit for being.. If it's comfortable for you and runs good I'd say go for it..

[@MKK-uf6hm]

Lol wish I could even own a quad!😂

[@gsu1972crew]

What used sport quad would you recommend for someone 6'4" and 240? Plenty of 2w Enduro and 4w utility quad experience but zero sport quad. Wanting to get some of that fun action y'all got on the cheap.

[@DirtObseXXion]

Raptors have the best ergonomics for bigger guys... Maybe a DS650 too but they're hard to find..

[@gsu1972crew]

@@DirtObseXXion Thank you from Atlanta! Love your content - need more!! Watched your videos and bought an Outlander Max 1000. Shocks are outstanding. Almost too much power for tight stuff. Work mode was perfect for trails though.

[@jrc-fabs1634]

I’m 14 and need something with a lot of power, I like the specs of this quad but I’m thinking the raptor 700r might be better, what’s your thoughts and is there any other better suggestions that I should look at? Also it’s really rocky where I live but I want a sport quad

[@jrc-fabs1634]

Also I do crazy hill climbs a lot so I need something that won’t stall on me when im doing them

[@DirtObseXXion]

Obviously you're looking used. I'd just try to find whatever is in the best shape for the best price. You don't need as much power as you think you do. A 400 like the Z400 for 400EX are plenty fast and are going to be A LOT less maintenance than any 450. The KFX450 probably requires the least maintenance at least as far as valve adjustments and things like that the 450 class competition. The Raptor is great tho, we have 3 now and we love them.. Is this your first quad?

[@StevenPfeiffer]

My kfx was nice but just couldn’t cruise the tails like my old 400ex

[@DirtObseXXion]

Yeah the 450s were higher strung but the kfx 450r was definitely the most trail friendly of the race quads

Put a 36 sprocket in the rear, that fixes the gearing.

[@ptshyu2]

I can’t decide if I want a kfx or a ltr

[@DirtObseXXion]

They're very different.. The LTR is higher strung, wider, a little harder to find and typically more expensive.. I love them tho! 06-07 are the best, they had clutch issues after that (which by now may be resolved by previous owners).. The KFX is easier to ride and has revers so it's a better trail quad in my opinion.. We've had several of each.. Both excellent quads!
