[QUOTE="03YZ85Rider, post: 666582, member: 45231"] This bike is purely a beginner/ trail bike. Don't expect to jump it either, it weighs around 270 lbs. and is a terrible handling bike. My neighbor bought a new one back in 01' and so far just about every single thing on the bike is shot. The transmission even broke, now it only has first gear! The forks are way past blown, also it appears the forks aren't even rebuilable, just throw aways. The shock is very soft now too. The rear tire wore through the subframe in the back from bottoming out and the rear fender just fell off, also it took the rear seat mounts with it so now the seat is held on by a piece of wire wrapped around the top. For some reason Yamaha decided to put an 80cc sized chain on a 270 pound bike, (a 428). Oh, and the clutch made strange noises too before the transmission blew. And yes he maintained it too, always a clean air-filter, oil-filter and oil, greased bearings, etc. The bottom line is they are unbelieveably crappy bikes that Yamaha should be ashamed to put their name on. And I am not against Yamaha in general either as I ride a 2003 YZ 85. [/QUOTE]
