the kawi is the slowest of all the 450's ...go with the rappy its the best trail ride out there..has tones of power and is very reliable...fuel injection is awesome for cold starts ...trust me it will never let you down...if your someone that likes to ride fast the 700 is for you...you never have to screw around with jetting your carbs or worring about dirty carbs...hop on it and go...450's are higher maintanence as they are designed for racing...

I would like to know what makes the 450s more troublesome to maintain. And the valve adjustment argument won't work. The trx doesn't call for a valve job until about 250 hours.

i never said they are troublesome ///...simply just higher maintanace...being a high strung engine theres alot more wear and tear when it comes to racing it ...in most cases you'll rebiuld a 450 b4 a 700r...depending on the rider...for some the 450's never let them down tho...i guess it all depends on how you treat your bike...thats all i was trying to say i guess i should have clarified...lol:shocked:

I can live with that. Was just curious why you said that. I've heard others say the same thing but when you ask them why they have no reason. As far as oil changes and all that stuff, the 450 is just like in other machine. Depends how you ride it. So I can deal with your reason.

good enough..i know alot of people trash the 450's...i like them...my next bike will probably be a 450 but i want a efi...so hopefully in a few years yamaha makes the yfz a efi because im a yami boy...i just like the quality and reliability of my yami.

What really impresses me about 450's is how much smaller cc wise they are but they can still keep up with the big bores like the 700r...

      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

      I recently bought a 2006 KFX  700 that had been sitting for 10+ years, started to replace the fuel system and the fuel pump has a connector that does not fit the same as original.  The plug has opposite slot as original.  There are two plugs on fuel pump bracket, some tiny sensor and fuel pump.  The new fuel pump plugs in the same place as tiny sensor, where as the old fuel pump plugged into opposite position.  I took old connector off bad fuel pump and repined it to new one, but now am questioning if this was the right thing to do.  I did pay attention to wire placement but just feel like there should be a direct replacement.  From the pictures on partzilla website, I cannot find a different option.  Has anyone run into this issue?

      I was looking to buy a new ATV. 
      I was debating between Polaris sportsman 450 and Honda rancher.
      Polaris it a bit cheaper.
      But can you tell me which one will have more demand on the used market? Which one will keep it's value better?
       
      Let's say 3-5 years from now.
