[QUOTE="the Eel, post: 124054, member: 19952"] Re: I'm not too concerned with losing some top end since I don't do baja or hare scrambles. I'm doing desert enduros and trailriding so I don't really see that I'll need to ever go over 60 even !! Besides, I think the pucker factor of going 80 MPH on a dirt bike might be a bit much for me ... I'm glad to hear everyone's digging the bikes. I figure I will be saving so much money that the flywheel weight, gearing change, and whatever else are really not as painful as they would be if I had to pay full price for the bike. Any maintenance problems ? I had heard somewhere that these YZs were going thru top ends pretty rapidly ? Any truth to that ? Also, how's the clutch been holding up ? OK - so the bike seems pretty great. Alot of the people I ride with keep telling me that the perfect bike for me is the WR 250F. Now I have never ridden the WR, but I magine it will have a powerband that you have to flog quite a bit more than the 426, and the 426 also has a better power to weight ratio. There is something I like about the 400cc range power. It comes on very strong early. I have used it to power around turns flat-track style, which I have trouble doing on my XR. Do you 426 guys any feedback on this ? I know alot of people who would say I'm making a mistake by not getting the WR 250F or even the YZ 250F. But theres just something I really liked about that 426. I have the possibility to ride all these bikes I mentioned this coming weekend ... maybe that will be helpful. [/QUOTE]
