What do you think of a 450 for trail riding? [FREE Guide] "Basic Techniques" guide to trail ride with confidence - motocrosshideout.com/basic/

Go to a larger front sprocket. Get a little bigger radiator and these things are perfect for trails. I run my crf450r for trails and track and it works perfectky.

@MotocrossHideout 10 дней назад

Yes, they can work, but not for tight trails where you're averaging 5-10 mph or less. First gear will be too tall with a bigger front sprocket, so you'll be slipping the clutch a lot more, creating way more heat. The bigger radiators might keep it cool a little bit longer but if they're not getting airflow, it's not going to stay cool based on my experience.

I always trail ride my rmz450 it's really not that hard and a good feeling valve bouncing past a 17k ktm lol

@user-pz2wi5ek2b 14 дней назад

Just a thing to remember 125 250 and 450 have the same seat height and suspension travel 👍

@MotocrossHideout 14 дней назад

Yep, thanks for your clarification, Jonathan. I should've added that I was comparing to trail bikes with 34-36" seat heights. Thanks for watching!

I heard some friends say 450 too big,250 too small and the alternative is a 350 ? Where does the drz400 fit ?

@MotocrossHideout 14 дней назад

It really depends on the kind of riding you're doing, your experience level, and what your expectations/goals are. Then there are different types of the same size bike (trail/enduro/cross-county/mx/dual sport).

Horrible for low speed technical trail riding. Cross country racing the only real application. Slow speed on a 4stroke is super annoying. Plus they get WAY hotter easier while going slow (no airflow)

@MotocrossHideout 14 дней назад

Yep, about the only 4-strokes that don't overheat easily at low speeds are air-cooled. Thanks for watching!

I have had no issue lugging my 450

@gumpycognac4505 11 дней назад

@@TeknaTronik maybe in your specific situation. If I’m in the market for a (mostly) trail bike with mostly woods riding planned at different locations, a 2 stroke simply performs better in all areas required of a good trail/race bike. Not saying slow speed on a 4 stroke can’t be done. Just much easier on a 2. Hence the reason 90% of enduro riding is done on them. Also, It requires substantially more compression on a 4stroke (more heat) to equate the low end torque on a 2 stroke engine with lower compression (runs cooler)

@@gumpycognac4505 everyone who rides 450s lugs them in trails.
