Fellas, got a shot at getting a pretty good deal on a barely used yz426 and I am on the fence. This would be my first big dirtbike and I don't like 2strokes, do you think I will like the bike?? I mainly ride in sand pits and little trails, but mostly backyard with the kids. Not into jumping, but will wheelie and stoppie every now and again, is this a good bike for me? It scared the hell out of its current owner and I am a little worried myself. But my last bike was a GSXR1300 Hayabusa on street and a Raptor 660R on the dirt, so I am a little used to power, just never had that much power on 2 wheels on dirt.

 

do it, i just bought a crf450 and its the funnest thing i have ever ridden, and im sure its pretty comparable, plus im not the biggest of all kids either.

 

I got it today, very strong bike, I am very impressed and at the same time, it scares the **** out of me. I am just pissed on how to get this ***** started. I have to get used to it, its hard as hell.

 

what is there too much compression? save some money and get the compression release.

 

They are on there stock, without it you would never start it, MX 4 strokes are pigs to start, hot or cold. You should got a xr400 for trails and wheelies and stoppied.
