good bad or otherwise, im thinking about trading for one, has any one had one or riden one? i had a yz 125 and loved it.

The YZ 426 are the hardest things to start in the whole world. They always drop valves like there disposible. First year of the racing 4 stroke. Many many problems.

Stay far far away. Anything older than a 05 yamaha 4 stroke was mess.

Seriously don't do it..

A guy I worked with had an '11 450 (I think) Yamaha, thing was a beast. Needed re-jetting, stock was way too lean. Suspension was too tall for my stumpy little legs, but riding it was very nice, tons of torque.

your sure its the 426? iv heard nothing but good in terms of reliability,, but lack the power of the 450's and are a little heavier in 01 they switched to ti valves , ss ones last longer.so that is one down fall iv read about.., so far.... i'll keep lookin id rather get an atv anyway, dirt hurts when you land on it

my buddy has a 2012 fuel injected 450 crf and it is stupid crazy .. its got ballz that is for sure........ i shouldnt even try to ride a bike i just come home hurting every time, i miss my yz tho

yeah i'm sure.

2 strokes are way cheaper and easier to maintain anyway.. id rather find an 06 250 or 125. aluminum frame if i ever decide to own another murdercross bike

I agree I have 05rmz 250 and a 08 kxf 250 both modded four strokers and maintainance Is a bitch.. just sold my 06 yz 144 and it was a cinch to look after

i was considering an Athena 144 for my yz, but it already had a bondi ported cylinder ,, i wanted to upgrade it before i broke my wrist and sold it.
