[QUOTE="skmcbride, post: 123978, member: 23265"] Eel, I have a '99 YZ400 and ride exclusively woods and race enduros. I have changed the gearing to 13 -50 with 12oz. flywheel weight to make the bike managable in the tight stuff. The bike was very difficult to ride in woods with stock gearing and no weight (lots of clutch fanning). The 426 has even a taller first gear. Changing your gearing will take a significant amount from the top end. I am not so sure about the aforementioned 80 mph. If you like sustained high speed riding I think you will have a problem trying to make the bike work for both tight stuff and desert. With the money your saving you could consider swapping out for WR gearing. It has been done. I am not trying to talk you out of it, I love the bike for enduros but I am on the east-coast with tight woods, rocks and sand and rarely need the top end. BTW, you could still probably find a 2000WR on the floor on the east coast. I know my dealer had one as of a month ago (Pete's cycle Baltimore, MD). Good Luck, Keith. [/QUOTE]
