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..

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.. The KFX is more trail friendly and has reverse.. The KFX has been off the market for 10 years so it's getting harder to find them.. There's more to it than that, but that's the jist..

We don't have this one anymore but we've had a few of them since.. These are easiest of the 450s to ride, because they will lug at slower speeds... It's a 450 that has the manners more like a 400.. So, for what you're describing.. I think either this or a z400 would be your best options

You can find good deals on KFXs because they were never the most popular 450s.. We this one should be in 3-4k range.. Less than 3k would be a little rough, over 4k should be pretty damn clean..

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 Жыл бұрын
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 Жыл бұрын
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 Жыл бұрын
@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..

@DirtObseXXion Жыл бұрын
@@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..

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.

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?
