I was forced to buy a new quad

I have to pull my 500R apart again and get the crank balanced like I should have done before I even put the new crank in. I was so discouraged by the thought of not having anything to ride, I was forced to buy an LT R450. I like it really well, but I really can't wait the have the big 2-stroke back. The 450 is alot easier to ride though, the 500R is kind of like wrestling a bear in comparison

I agree man, there is nothing like a two stroke but you can really get comfortable with the lt. I rode two stroke dirt bikes forever but I really enjoy my YZ and not sure if I will ever go back

What part of WA are you from? I spent my high school years in Olympia.

I'm from Bonney Lake, it is about 15 miles east of Tacoma. Don't get me wrong, I like the LT, it is a nice change of pace from the beast. It handles better, it's WAY easier to start, and the power is more smooth and manageable. But is a bit too wide and low for some of the trails I like to ride, and I just miss the brutal power of my 500R.
