[QUOTE="JasonJ, post: 160103, member: 23758"] My WR 400 has plenty of power all over. We have some old paved roads in our riding area and I ripped it up and down a few times and it felt slower than my YZ 250. Then I went riding with my buds who I rode with before. One has a Quadzilla, Quad racer 500cc and the other is a Banshee with mods. The Yz could always hang but the Quadzilla pulled hard off the line and has a long wheel base and can keep the wheels down and move out. The YZ on pavement was always a struggle to keep the front wheel down on the pipe. Any way, we were all waiting to cross the road to prceed down the old paved road to the trail, lined up 3 across, the traffic cleared and we were off to the races. The WR just walked away right off the line and started running away after that. The smooth power just pulls hard and strong. There is no whips of powerband power, just smooth acceleration. You will here alot of guys tell you the 4 strokes fell slower, they do, those guys will then tell you there lap times are faster, they are. The WR has AWESOME suspension and great tracable power, wich all goes to make it feel light as long as you keep your feet on the pegs and dont try to throw it around with your feet down like I used to on the 2 strokes. The only time it feels heavy is off the throttle on steep rocky down hills and in soft loom and sand when the front end wants to plow. I find just keeping on the throttle and using the power slide and rolling doughnut methods works good. I still have the stock tank on it though. Side notes: ALOT less shifting and whip lash cause you can lug then rev to the moon, so reduced arm pump and no more not being able to move my left fingers anymore after trail rides. Great for hill climbs too, hit the botom in mid second, line her up and shoot up the hill reving second, watch the quad guys jaws drop when you catch air off the top of the hill climb :) . Just try to HOLD ON! Fuel milage,,,,,, forget about it, the 4 stroke goes ALL DAY on one tank of gas :) . Leave your spark plugs and socket set on the truck! EDIT, Whhoooooooo hooooooo I almost forgot about engine brake, IT ROCKS! makes the bike managable on rocky single track down hills and means you dont have to work the clutch and brakes, just the throttle, hit the gas to power over obstacles and let off for brakinig with out losing traction. Very comfy if you come off big bore high comp street bikes :) [/QUOTE]
