[QUOTE="TexKDX, post: 17470, member: 16276"] Sure Shot, if you found the 650 tolerable then you'll love the 426, no questions asked. It too is a relatively forgiving bike (like the KDX) as long as you learn how to clutch it and keep it up off idle in the tight stuff. The high compression motor can do a "cough and stall" when you hit obstacles at really low RPMs with the throttle closed. It is not a bad technique to master for ANY bike, it just is an essential one on these bikes. I have the 400 and rode a YZ426 the other day in the woods. The 426 is just a thrust-o-matic engine that makes 39.5 to 44.5 HP over an RPM spread from 5,000 to 10,000. It provides a sensation unlike any other bike I've ridden, to have basically a reostat control on 40 horses at such a spread of RPM. The low end is very usable to boot, and the suspension is first rate. The revised head tube angle on the 2000 and 2001 does make a difference on handling. The 426 I rode turns in much better than my 400 does. TexKDX. [/QUOTE]
