My First Ride on a New Yamaha YFZ450R!

[@elieb7055]

Quads are so much fun. I owned a 200 blaster, then a 350 banshee and then a 700 raptor. I switched to 2 wheels currently on a 2013 450 yz, it send me to the hospital last year, miss my raptor.

[@frankrizzo8799]

How was the Banshee?

[@elieb7055]

@@frankrizzo8799 Banshee was good fun, you can tune them and make them very fast, but a stock 450 or 700 is better than a stock Banshee in my opinion.

[@Idk56373]

Im planning on getting a quad (have ridden dirtbikes for years) is it worth the trouble and money importing a banshee to Finland, or should I go ahead and get a yfz450r instead? Or maybe even a raptor

[@C-24-Brandan]

That place looks like an absolute blast, little.bit of everything for all levels of skill riding and atv type ect! Quads are so fun and being able to ride em all year round is a bonus. Your raptor and that yfz 450 are sweet!

[@801MOTO3]

I love that you're open to pretty much any brand. You form your own opinion based on your own experience. A lot of yamaha riders would hate on Honda just because its a Honda....& vise versa. But you dont care what it is..you just wanna see what each machine is like & you respect all the brand's. That's how I am & that's how i think everyone should be.

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I'm the same way! No reason to be fake! Pete is awesome!

[@PeteHager]

801 MOTO thanks man, I just love sport quads in general. A lot of them are pretty similar with their own little quirks. It’s a bummer Yamaha is the only one building new sport quads. If Honda was still building a new 450 I would probably go that route just so I had brand diversity. I do plan on supporting Yamaha though since they support our sport still 👍

450's are pretty rad for everything they are, but they are shorter maintenance intervals and not built to the same durability/longevity of the 686 Raptor. It's gotta be pretty fun to have the perspective of both on the same day, back to back. I think it'd be really cool if some 450 dirtbike dude would run around with you guys on quads.

Lifted_Above that’s why I got the Raptor first, I wanted a good reliable machine and now I can work towards getting the 450.

That’s amazing! The 450 is no joke, take it easy at first because the power it has will get to your head and you’re gonna want to let it rip. Quick story, back in 08 when I wanted to purchase my first ever quad, I went for the 450 because I wanted to enter the “off-roading gang” with the best of the best. It was definitely an experience I’ll tell you that. After a while I was out there barking wheelies and practically anything “bark-able”😂 it’s an amazing machine and you’ll get used to it in no time.

[@gman9116]

I've had a 450 and now have a 700. As for the stable ride of the 450 if you haven't tried to or haven't ridden a 700 that's been widened out try it. I widen my 700 by 4 inches in the rear and 3.5 in the front and it's a different machine. My buddy with a stock 700 rode mine and now hes getting his widened. Both fun rides but at my age the 700 is more comfortable lol.

[@PeteHager]

I actually have 1 inch spacers on the front and rear of my raptor. The long term goal is longer travel arms and a wide rear axle but we all know how expensive that can get depending on what I do for suspension. I've heard a ton of people say it really transforms the quad so hopefully I can make it happen this year. Thanks for your recommendation and have fun riding!🤘

[@spoonbrothers2968]

Never owned a yfz or a raptor,hows the power delivery and suspension? Love these videos,wont ever stop watching them!

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

The power delivery on the Yamaha Raptor is just constant insane power from low end to top end. The power delivery on the 450's is much more like a two stroke, not as much low end but as the engine revs through the power band you'll suddenly feel the surge of insane power! Not sure what Hager's opinion is but it would be interesting to know 🤔😁

[@PeteHager]

Dirtbike Videos The differences in engine size and design make for a different experience. The raptor has more torque and smooth consistent power. The YFZ doesn’t hit as hard from the low RPM’s. It needs high RPMs to build the power but once it’s up there it pulls very strong. The raptor is pretty soft and isn’t a stiff as the YFZ. It’s definitely more of a trail quad. The YFZ felt smooth at high speeds though, it seemed like the faster I rode it the smoother it was. Whereas the raptor is pretty comfy and fun to play on all the time. And the end of the day one is a trail quad and one is a track quad.

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

I think it depends on your definition of "faster." Im betting the Raptor has an overall higher topspeed, but the YFZ has a faster holeshot.

[@PeteHager]

The Raptor will definitely edge a 450 in top speed. In my experience with 450's they definitely pull super hard out of the hole and tend to be as fast or outrun a raptor up to 60-70 mph. Then the Raptor will overtake. It really depends on how they're set up. Stock for stock I think it would be pretty close

So from being able to ride both if you was to sell your raptor and start all over again what would you personally now buy based off riding both if you had the choice to buy either a 2020 700 or a 2020 450

[@PeteHager]

I thought about this decision for quite awhile before getting the Raptor, I was super close to picking the YFZ at first. One of my main reasons for picking the Raptor was its reputation for reliability. People talk very highly of them and I knew I could put a ton of hours on it. Plus it has a broader power range and higher top speed. I primarily trail ride and figured the Raptor would be more suitable for my area. I do however want the 450 for occasional track days and dune trips, the 450's are much more practical for jumping. It will be interesting to have both machines eventually and to see which model I pick for certain rides.

[@christopherbingle3844]

If you couldn’t afford a raptor second hand would you take a clean 450 in its place I want to get a quad but can’t afford a raptor atm but a clean 450 has just become available near me within my budget do you think it’d be a good substitute for a raptor?

lol The raptor is a ton of fun man. I picked it first because if I could only have one quad that would be the one! The 450 is super fun for sure. I'm excited to get one eventually but it will have its time and place. It will be interesting to pick which one I want to ride for certain circumstances..

@@PeteHager oh yea my buddy got a 2019 yfz450r man that thing is super light

[@evanwilliams2602]

Being completely honest I used to own a older carb modem yfz mild build pipe ect.and my buddy got a 2019 yfz 450r stock and I was not liking it. Had bad bog it runs okay but I just didnt xare for it. And before I actually rode one I did want one.but after riding a stock one I dont anymore. It ripped. But I expected morw

[@CHAMP_theBULLDOG27]

I love my 2019 yfz 450r

[@ononewheel7]

Zo Wattz i love mine as well!

[@ononewheel7]

Deric Herndon the seats are actually pretty comfortable i race xc i just have a quad tech cover for better grip

[@aligod1957]

Zo Wattz nice I have the same one but just the RSE it’s an amazing machine!

[@ononewheel7]

AliGod anything done to it?

[@aligod1957]

ononewheel7 not at the moment

[@traviscannoles6361]

Watching this video has help make up my mind on buying a Yfz450r this year! 👍🏻 love this video!

[@tonymunoz7400]

I enjoyed this video bro. Felt like I was there. Thanks

Awesome to hear! thanks for watching 😊

Pete please customize the yfz450 trust me there fast cool and loud

[@kawasaki000000000000]

Now imagine what the yz450 feels like .

[@noahranker4133]

kawasaki000000000000 he rode it?

[@anthonyk6265]

Junk raptor all day

[@xoliverx3602]

How am I not subscribed to this dude

[@leebub207]

my raptor felt like the shocks were more plush then a 450, the 450 felt stiff to me I dunno, im sure theres plenty of adjustments.

[@PeteHager]

Lee DiMatteo I’ve been told that’s how they feel out of the box. Matt is only 155lbs and he had softened his shocks quite a bit from the factory settings. I think the wider stance made it feel smooth too

[@hovavrom]

I can afford one, what to get? The yfz450 ot the raptor 700? Trail rides only and no track use at all.

[@PeteHager]

Rom Hovav if your strictly gonna be on trails will be hard to be the comfort and reliability of Raptor. I’ve always said if I could only have one quad that would be it! You can obviously trail ride a 450 but it’s considerably wider than the raptor. I would also expect more maintenance with a 450 as well. The main reason I want a 450 is for occasional track and dune riding👍

[@mihaidreghiciu8035]

I dont understand why on quads like this you hold the clutch when slowing down?

[@PeteHager]

You need to pull in the clutch when engaging the rear brake or the motor will stall. Plus you want to clutch it when downshifting so it just becomes habit to always grab it when coming to a stop

[@ryanplog5362]

Where in Appleton is that I’m from Green Bay would love to check it out if it’s public.

[@PeteHager]

It's in Appleton Minnesota. Sorry for the confusion. We drove through green bay to ride the near north trail near Athelstane. Here's that video if you want to check it out. I had a ton of fun on that trail. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp3UZaCJZs92fLM

[@fs_c0nqu3rrr68]

I have a blaster like that one but with a beefier push bar and special LED mount on the push bar.

[@matthaas5409]

How come you didn’t have your xc masters on this ride?

[@alexhoudek13]

Probably wanted less traction so he could slide around more

[@PeteHager]

Matt Haas I have the 4snow tires mounted on my black wheels. I had these factory tires on my silver wheels from earlier this summer. In the next week or 2 I’ll be dismounting the silver wheels to have my studded tires installed

[@nickskibinski8613]

Would your prefer the raptor or yfz idk what to get?

[@jaryn968]

Nick Skibinski depends on the type of riding you’re going to be doing

[@PeteHager]

Nick Skibinski I got the Raptor first because I wanted a great all around machine. It has tons of power and a very reliable reputation. I primarily ride trails and knew the machine would see a lot of hours so it made sense. I planned on getting a 450 after the raptor because occasionally I would like to ride at MX tracks and the 450 is much better for jumping. Plus I think the 450 would be fun at the sand dunes. It really comes down to what your needs are and where your going to be riding. I’ve always said if I could only have one quad it would be the Raptor and I still stand by that👍

[@jacobdewberry4618]

I loved when I had my 2006 yfz but I share do love my banshee

[@nateheiderscheit8337]

Hey Pete just wondering how far away is Appleton Off-road park from where you live?

[@PeteHager]

It’s about 2 and a half hours. It’s the closest ride park that’s fun for sport quads

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

@@PeteHager youre coming from Mankato right? What route do you take? Its about 45mins from me in Alexandria/Glenwood.

[@kohlgossler7083]

Dude what is done to that trx why does it sound so powerfull

[@PeteHager]

The video before this one starts with chad explaining his quad. It's getting a full refresh right now and will be better than ever in the spring!

[@auston_grisham7840]

I want a Yzf 450, but I got a free 2005 raptor 350. I can’t complain.

[@alexGutierrez-jk3gh]

I love your videos amazing quality and amazing sound I always watch you when I wanna listen to some good old 4 strokes

[@nickselbitschka15]

Looks like a blast!!!

[@omaraguirre2626]

one day i’m getting there! 💯

[@colink6.0]

Where'd the maxxis's go on the raptor?

[@PeteHager]

We had some snow so I dismounted the GBC XC Masters and mounted the Maxxis 4snows on my factory black wheels. The silver wheels are for my studded tires. I have my factory tires on there for now and will be getting the studded tires mounted once it freezes up a bit more

[@lukeworrell8479]

Dang it’d be nice to be able to have a quad like that, my warrior is eh now😂😕

[@thrilmedia]

Jordan thanks man

[@prestonwatkins4614]

I just sold my blaster today😔😪

[@jaceolson9392]

I have a ltz 400. It tears stuff up. Just bought a bike though. A yz 450f.

[@nova-le6mo]

how do you swing the quad on sharp turns i hear you need the clutch... is that true? can you tell me how

[@PeteHager]

I tend to pop the clutch when i'm pulling a quick U turn on a tight trail. I suppose I've popped it on berms now and then but for the most part during sharper turns it's mainly all throttle and being in the right gear. Gotta get those tires spinning!👍

[@gurshawnjohal6369]

I got to ride one today and now I really want a quad cause I don't have one

[@brittanywallace4853]

[@jordanmckentry5073]

Where are you located I’d be down for a riding session

[@schweeba]

Why don't you throw some laps on the track with the 700? ;)

[@PeteHager]

Seth Schreiber Chad and I had ridden the track at bit earlier that day. I’ve filmed myself riding that track quite a bit this year so I didn’t prioritize it that day. Here’s a link to a ride video from appleton that has good track riding footage at the end 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3PcfoCmfchnd8k

[@everythingloud4068]

Awesome video!!! what would you choose a trx450r or a yfz450r

[@PeteHager]

I like the TRX's and I don't want to appear brand loyal to Yamaha but I would like fuel injection so that really only leaves me with the YFZ. An LTR would be sick but I would like a newer machine for practicality reasons. Too bad Honda doesn't get in the mix with an updated TRX!

[@everythingloud4068]

@@PeteHagerthanks for your input well I was just curious because I wanted to get a 450 in a month or 2 but I bought a banshee last night I'm sure I will still get a 450 too but I couldn't pass up a banshee for 500 dollars
