2000 Yamaha YZ426F

Pros: Plenty of power, hooks up well
Cons: Plenty of weight, poor turning, poor accelleration

One of my favorite things about the YZ426 is how easy it is to 80 mph wheelies forever. I made the decision to buy a new YZ426 based on experience riding a friend's 2000 model. I didn't like the hitches and bogs in the carburetor, but that was...

Pros: stable at any speed over just about any condition
Cons: heavier, uncomfortable seat for long saddle times

I love this motorcycle. I bought a 98 YZ 400 that was 6 months old from a trusted friend 8/98. I immediately was faster. Why? This motorcycle was meant for my style of riding. My game is to flow and be smooth for the entire track. My 400 does this...

Pros: fast, handles, setup well out-of-the-box
Cons: weight, tall gearing

I've had my YZ426F for a month now, after some 13 years of racing
KX's. I must say, the Yamaha is an impressive bike - even better
than the YZ400F's I've bummed rides from over the last year.

Here's the high points:
- gnarly...

Pros: Strong engine, rock solid reliability, decent suspention
Cons: stiffer fork and shock springs for faster or heavier riders, feels big

I know that it is 2006, and there a ton of new bikes out. But i had decided to ride one of my friends YZ426F's. You can deffinetly feel the generation gape between the 2006 bikes and this bike. But, i quickly relized that this bike is still very ...

Pros: Super tractable, decent suspensio
Cons: weight, handling

I bought this bike used in the 2004 year from an old guy who was my freinds dad. He didnt touch the bike so when I bought it, it was used but still in amazing condition. The bike starts amazing with only 1 kick, which is way better than the 250F's out ...

Pros: lots of power all over the power band
Cons: handling is a little bad but can be made better

This bike has loads of power in it. And i think that it would be the best if this motor was in a quad of some sort. Mainly the banshee would be the best bet in putting it into a quad, because it is a yami motor why not a yami frame. But you would...

Pros: the bike needs nothing!
Cons: heavy riders may need stiffer springs!

Some of the new changes of the Yamaha YZ426F is that the valves have changed to lightweight titanium! New shift cam shape saves weight... The internal shift lever pin has been changed from a press fit to an integrated type for better durability......

Pros: Great bike with lots of Raw Power and trackability
Cons: Harder too Kick

The YZ426F Is a great bike. It handles as well as any bike and has smooth even power with less wheel slip. The suspension is great and can handle most anything. though it is a little heavier than most two stroke bikes it makes up for it in its power. The...

Pros: It has great off idle response (take off), also it's great for offroad.
Cons: Two stroke fans may not adjust.

There is some who will love the yz426f, there will be some who get along with it, and there will be others who wont be able to ride it affectivley.
Yamaha enginered the YZ426f to keep up with 2 strokes who have, for the past 20 years, dominated...
