[QUOTE="spt23dc, post: 172331, member: 24972"] [b]doing my research[/b] I found and excellent condition YZ400 and was just about to lay down the cash. The night before the purchase, I was online doing all the research I could find. First was I talked to Eric Gorr and he said get the 426...a 400 will need over $1000. in parts compared to the 426. Then on thumper talk I read how it is not all that uncommon for the 400s connecting rod to break. So IM saying to myself ok...definately 426. Then I read how the 426 gas tanks are cracking pretty regularly due to thinner walls. Now IM starting to think I should go back to my old standard a CR500 (I never had a problem with a Honda)! I love the thought of owning one of these 4 strokes but all the problems IM hearing about..I have never owned a Yamaha, but I am wondering if their reliability and crfaftsmanship is up to par...(I tried to e mail Yamaha directly from their home site many times, and they never even acknowlege recieving my mail...I have read other trying to get customer service and they come up empty too....seems Yamaha does not care much about their customers)......any suggestions or comments cause now IM confused as to what is legitimate gripes and BS.
