TRX450R ?

[BRIAN]

JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD ANY COMMENTS.IM HAPPY WITH MINE BUT NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSED.

[pdavis]

Brian, i think you are the first person to be honest about your new TRX450
i have heard that people that have them, say it "needs this, it needs that but other than that its great" to me it looks to big, kinda like a DS 650

[DOUG]

Brian,

Did you get to race it today?? How did you do? oh and what class did you run?

Any run down on the course, good or bad. If anyone significant showed up. Come on man im jones for info here. Throw the dog a bone. I just got home form working and was hoping someone would have something posted.

All I seen so far was Paul making fun of some kid on the FTR site for being a baby and think he was racing when little did he know the real race was bout 100 miles away.

LOL, I seen that. He must not of had a good day. I know he found out he had a cracked swing arm around Thursday so his week has been kind of hectic. I'm sure he'll be around soon to let us know how things went.

Brian, your happy with it but your not all that impressed. Give up some details brother! I'm looking to get a new ride this summer and it's going to be a YFZ, an R, or a Dale (or whoever is putting their name on them now). Please keep us updated on your opinion of the bike.

DOUG:YOUR MISSING OUT TODAY

[DOUG]

Well its actually a good thing I didnt come. I just got back from riding, well kinda. I lasted about 30 min and slung a chain. This is twice ive done this. Last time I rode it just popped off the sprocket this time it slung it. What sucked is I was about 2 miles from the truck. Luckly I had some safetywire and found the master link. So hopefully get one tues when the shops open. And get some riding in to make sure I dont do it again. This is twice now ive gone riding and havent really been able to ride.

From what I'm hearing, If you lower the preload and just do your adjustments on the Comp. and rebound it's a totaly different quad.

Brian, have you messed with any of these adjustments? If so let me know what you think. I may be in the market for one of those POS's come the end of May.:D
