crd450

It isn't done on the 06s. I just did mine over the weekend. The local shop said they do not come with the yz timing. Also Dirt Wheels had an article in it the last issue that shows you step by step on an 06.

BEWARE!!!! I am sure if you have looked into how to do the cam mod or if you have done it before, you already know about the little half moon shaped circlips. These things can be very tricky. I had one fall off and land right underneath the cam, another 1/4 of an inch and it would have been in the bottom of my motor. :headbang: Make sure not to leave any open gaps leading down into your motor. Plug it up with some rags!!!! :skeet:

To anybody with any jetting suggestions. Just got my 06 450 a week ago. I have the ESR airbox eliminator kit, Curtis Sparks full exhaust, and the cam mod done. I am running a 45 pilot, 170 main, and 4th clip on the NCVQ needle with 2 1/2 turns out on the fuel screw and 100 octane. My next trip out to Dumont will be on the 7th. Just wondering if anyone thinks this will be close to Dumont standards. I have read that the 06s come leaner than the 04s and 05s. Just want to get close before heading out.

I couldn't really see anything looking down from the drivers seat, I thought they were all sunk in because the only 2 bolts left were the ones on the bottom of the cover. Stupid Yamaha. Good heads up by Ocean 03.

Thanks for the info on the twist throttle. Don't want my motor blowing. I am going to start looking for the dirtbike throttle. All I have ever had on my quads are twist throttles but the thumb will do for now.

Just bought my 2006 yfz450 on Saturday night. Rode it on Sunday and had 5 out of the 7 bolts holding the left cover on fall out :shocked2: and had oil all over everything. Also found 2 bolts loose behind the starter idler gear It was an easy fix but am going to call the dealer and see if they want me to bring it in. Hopefully no dirt or anything got in. A lot to spend on a bike and have something as stupid as bolts falling out on the first ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other than these 2 set backs the bike was fast as hell and ran awesome! Does anyone no about a twist throttle for the new 06? Checked on the internet but nothing. Dirt Wheels talked about drilling and tapping the carb for the dirt bike throttle, but would like something a little easier.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Ocean03 and Mrs. Ocean03 gave birth to a new baby girl this weekend. Mother and daughter are both doing great!!

With that YFZ450 you can also do the cam mod if you have any skills with tools. If you go to http://www.yfzcentral.com/cammod.htm they give you detailed instructions with pictures on how to do it. It gives you a boost in your top end.

I agree with ISBB. Last time I was out there it was a couple of yfz450s that were destroying everybody at on the dunes. Banshees, Raptors, you name it, they were all getting smoked.

Sounds like a blast!!!!!!!

BLACKZILLA KICKS a$$!!!!!!!!!

THE UPPERCUT RULES!!!

What's up Ocean03?

IT LOOKED CROWDED WHERE WE PITCHED CAMP BUT IT FELT LIKE THE DUNES WERE ALL OUR OWN. IT WAS SWEET!! SOME NICE ACTION AT COMP HILL TOO!!

YEAH, THE SIZE IS NO COMPARISON TO GLAMIS BUT THE DUNES AND THE ENVIRONMENT RULE. I WILL BE GOING BACK IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR SURE!!

JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THIS PAST WEEKEND WAS MY FIRST TIME AT DUMONT AND IT WAS AWESOME!! THE ONLY OTHER DUNES I HAVE BEEN TO ARE AT GLAMIS AND I WILL SAY THAT I WILL NOT BE BACK TO GLAMIS FOR A WHILE. DUMONT IS AN HOUR + CLOSER AND THE DUNES RULE. :mc_smiley:
