[QUOTE="TheMort, post: 135238, member: 18671"] I've had my 98 YZ400F for about a month or so. I had (have, trying to sell..) a 95 KDX200 before the 400F and the YZ400 is just so much more fun for me. It's got awesome power, handles great, and has a good suspension and is just so much better in every way than the KDX I had. The power only took a couple rides to get used to and it's an awesome powerband with power everywhere. I mostly ride sand pits (like a big sandy MX track) and the bike is a blast in the sand. Lately I've been taking it through the woods and it's been better than I expected. It's definetly more bike than I need in the woods, but that's what makes it so much fun :D . Stalling can be a problem, especially in tight, rocky sections I've noticed, but a flywheel weight should help with that. Suspension is definetly not set up for woods and is very stiff, but that can be tuned to your likings. It's plenty of bike for me (5'10", 165 lbs) but it's not really over-powering or intimading. I'd say go for it and you'll love the bike. So far mine's been perfect as far as reliability and I've had zero problems (knock on wood), just keep up on basic maintainence and it should be good. As far as starting, I still don't know what all the fuss is about, it's never taken me more than one to two kicks to start the bike once I learned "the drill," hot or cold. Good luck with picking a bike. [/QUOTE]
