I agree with pretty much all you said. I made a little bracket like you did for the air filter. The twin airs are junk for this bike. Get the tusk ones there better. The suspension did take a while to break in. Probable around 6 or 7 hours before it started feeling good. Try not to overfill your gas and splash it everywhere. There is a hole where the gas can reach the filter and dilute the oil on it.
the new twin air design for 2024 got rid of thre scre and just uses the goddamn strap same as stock, so it's not an upgrade anymore.. Just need to make sure you got the filter cage on the filter right, add some grease around the edge and be smart about removing it.
I’ve been back and forth on getting a yz450f, currently ride a 23’ fc350, vet B rider. I just hate the forks, don’t really want another 450 but I love the SSS suspension, I’ve owned several yz250’s over the years. How much can you mellow it out
@jordanmacsonald9848 these bikes are amazing! I just came off a 2024 KTM 350sxf and am so happy I made the switch. You can dial them way back with the tuner. That’s what I really love is how much of a difference these tuners can make. I don’t think you can go wrong with the 23 and up yz450’s.
@@jordanmacdonald9848 that’s awesome congrats! No issues at all with my yz450. Download the MXA map and see if you like that one. The stock maps can be a little much, I found I really like the MXA map and you can tune versions of that map to your liking. It gets rid of the massive bottom end hit and works really well IMO
