It's being lugged. Thats a normal sound. The brakes are getting worked, because you are taking the engine brake away everytime you squeeze the clutch, and rely only on your brakes. It causes the inertia to lerch forward, therfore applying more brakes...
Would you say it's a more easier to ride power than the '21? I heard you can really mellow out the power with the app and a throttle tamer cam? Considering the 450 as an alternative to a KTM 350. Vet novice rider so I want to be careful and not get too much bike!
I had my 21 mellowed out a bit with the "smooth" map. So far with the 24 I've left it in the base map from Yamaha, both seem very controllable for me but I try to stay away from the technical stuff these days! I'll probably get into some mapping changes in the next couple rides and see what I like. The biggest difference I've noticed a couple hours in is the handling. I really like the YZ450FX because it's like you have multiple bikes in one with all of the adjustability of the power characteristics. Now with the handling I think it's a great platform! I do hear a lot of great thing's about the Austrian 350's though as long as you can get the suspension dialed for your riding! I've never ridden with a throttle tamer but if I got into some gnar I'd might consider it.
@@erickcook9333 Thanks Eric, it's such a beautiful looking bike! And way slimmer than the '23 from the video you shot, and I love the idea of having multiple bikes in one! I've got a '23 KTM XC250 for woods but the YZ450FX would be sweet for moto and faster trail riding.
the youtuber cycle. learn on a 4 stroke. buy a newer 4 stroke cus you're getting more serious about riding. buy a brand new 4 stroke and talk about how it's great and it offers all these things you like and you love it and you aren't interested in anything else. trade it off to get a 2stroke and admit it's more fun in every way and pick up subs 100k subs because people like not listening to a fart launcher. you're at the new 4 stroke phase. will sub when we get to the 2 stroke phase.
