We're going to Dumont Little Dunes over Valentines weekend,, and I got the GF a Diamond Solitare Ring to give her,, but couldn't resist and I got her the new Zuki Fuel Injected 450 quad.

Right outta the box it has more snot than my built YFZ 450.

An interesting feature,, and for good reason is that the Suzuki Z450 has a center mounted exhaust pipe.
The GFs biggest complaint was the hot pipe next to your leg.

450 quad exhaust pipes run super red hot and burn and melt your leg & pants.

The center exhaust is a nice idea.

Nice steering geometry,,, nice suspention,,, starts up cold and hot with the FI,,,, solid powerband,,,,
Fuel injection is the future for sure with quads.

Hope to see some peeps from the boards at the dunes

Be back here with pix.

Since Valentines is on a Tuesday, would that be a long weekend or the weekend before. :stupid

We're goin' someplace, maybe O.W. or Johnson Valley. Not sure.

Nothing special. I have a buddy who used to work for TOO TECH. He re-did the forks and set the sag for me. I have been considering a different triple clamp though.

I just re-did the whole top end so I'll wait a bit before I drop some more doh ray me!
