	ATV News - 2006 Yamaha YFZ450 Press Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Yamaha went all out on this press intro by securing Castillo Ranch in los Alamos, CA, which is one of the premier practice tracks for the Top Pro motorcycle racers, but it would be the first time that any ATV had ever been allowed at the facility.
		I immediately felt comfortable on the YFZ450 and quickly began attempting some of the doubles and table tops on the track, and after only a few laps, I was launching the majority of the jumps with ease and felt in complete control.
		After riding the new YFZ450 for one day with its eighty changes, Jason and I could tell that Yamaha did its homework, and we were both pleased to see that the changes could actually be felt when riding and they weren’t just hype on paper.

	Information On the YFZ450 Will be up soon
		Yamaha engineers based the piston on the unit from the YZ motorcycle engine, but the wrist pin diameter was increased.
		Yamaha engineers explained that the YFZ has a much larger contact patch to the ground than a single skinny bike tire and that a lower compression ratio was required for the engine — any more compression, and the engine would need race gas.
		Yamaha engineers said the pivot point of the cast aluminum swingarm is positioned to reduce squatting under acceleration.

		Racer ergonomics: Yamaha was quick to point out that the YFZ's front fenders have been positioned slightly farther forward than on a typical sport machine to allow riders more room to hang off the side for aggressive cornering.

		Just as the company did with the YZ400F motorcycle in 1998, Yamaha has taken the lead in 4-stroke quad technology by unleashing the YFZ450, the first truly competition-oriented 4-stroke ATV from a major manufacturer.
		Before this ground-breaking machine "sport" ATVs (Click Here for an ATV History Lesson), were more akin to light-duty trailbikes such as Honda's XR series and Suzuki's DR-Zs than competition-only motocrossers.
		Until the YFZ arrived this summer, Yamaha's hottest "sport" ATVs consisted of old-tech, bike-engined quads such as the Bansheeâ”introduced in 1987 and stuffed full of an RZ350's howling 2-stroke Twinâ”and the Raptorâ”powered by a 660cc Single first seen on these shores in 1996 powering the MZ streetbike line.

	2002 Yamaha YFZ450 vs Suzuki Z400 Shootout
		Each time the Yamaha YFZ 450 would just pull ahead slightly, we found that the Suzuki LTZ 400 has a lower rev limiter that came in at 8,000 RPMs where the Yamaha 450 topped out at 10,000 RPMs.
		As for handling, again the Yamaha was just slightly better in most aspects, better quality shocks, improved front A-arms and a longer rear swingarm made the difference.
		Bottom line, our test indicated that the Yamaha is a bit faster with acceleration, provides softer landings when jumping and may add a bit more control in high speed turns but two out of three of our test riders indicated that they still preferred the Suzuki for over all ride comfort and feel.
