Well then that 450 was not running right. The 400ex, warrier are old design engines and are oil cooled not water so they run hot and rob power hense why you dont see them anymore on the track.

the 450 has a brand new engine with 3 or 4 hours on it which was done at the local yamaha dealer. so i doubt there is something wrong. its not uncommon for a 440ex to beat 450s. the easy way to run the ex's cooler is to upgrade the oil cooler to a cbr 600 oil cooler or four stroke tech makes one for it, run synthetic oil, and possibly run fans. these things will make a substantial difference. I also raced my Banshee and beat it
Ok everybody can believe what they want. but I have ridden that quad and it doesnt have near the power mine does. my brother said the same thing. If I wouldve had my edelbrock carb on and not the stocker, I wouldve killed him.
Well my bud has a yfz450 with high comp piston, stg 2 hotcams, and duncan exhaust. I have personally seen him spank 440ex along with me on my 310r.
We ate them. Hense why im building my banshee to be even faster. The 440's were good in there day but are now out dated. If you want a quad that will grow with you as you ride go with any of the 450's out there.
gotta ask tho how long of a drag was this if it was 1-2 miles lol all you would have to do is gear it proper and you would beat him.

BAHAHHAHAHAH NICE!!!!!:d
this why eff zee doesnt have a high comp piston or stg 2 cam. as I said before it has pipe, air filter and jets. I havent touched the gearing in my quad and easily pulled 2 or 3 lengths in 1st and 2nd gear. this drag was like a mile long. Ill stick with my ex and some day bore it out to a 500. and might buy a 250r in the future.

I have to agree with ZEDNECK as i to have rode this 450 and i was expecting ALOT more from a 450. it was fairly gutless compared to the 440 which was suprising.
