YFZ 450, Raptor 700, LTZ 400 ATV Adventure Riding on Trail 15 

+BikeLife Savage Thanks! This is just part 1, part 2 coming up soon!

+TrailBlogger You're welcome! Sweet, can't wait!

thank you for watching. Cheers from California.

Chris G up here in ohio it can be fun as hell and awsome but damn if it aint sketchy as heck sometimes

+shane clark There be squatch in them hills.

+TrailBlogger LMAO

TrailBlogger I dun seened it watching you guys

+Craig Reimer total opposite here, I mainly dirt dirt but get to hit the sand about once or twice a year on vacation in Oregon.

he is out there!

+Dwight Shepherd really I actually love doing wheelies in the dunes, it's softer if you go over the back and wreck lol. The paddle tires are a lot of fun but take some getting used to.

+TrailBlogger well I ment to say I like riding these trails cause of the bumps you have to wheelie over but I love wheelieing in the dunes cause I can hold up a wheelie forever, I also wheelie on bowls at night cause I'm crazy.

Dwight Shepherd I was gonna say dude... wheelies are the best in the sand man lol Wish I had more time to spend up that way just practicing my wheelie skills.

+TrailBlogger yeah I just go to pismo and wheelie out in the back of the dunes and i try to climb dunes while holding a wheelie, it's soooo much fun.

+Sackmatters I know and van shoes too instead of boots. Dude is a maniac lol

TrailBlogger lol what a dangerous man. living on the edge ;). Ive got a new video up.

Sackmatters I got the first comment already!

would love to ride there someday

+TrailBlogger but it's not the cheapest to get your quad shipped and the flights

+Larry d Well the starting point is along the Sacramento River and we cross Motion Creek a couple of times on a few different trails. There are a few other creek crossings up there but I am not sure of the names. You can ride to the top of the trail that leads down to shasta lake in a couple of spots. If you want to ride right on the lake shore you could take Gillman Road out and drive around the Northwest side of the lake to get up to the Bully Hill area on the Squaw Creek arm but that is a pretty long drive.

+TrailBlogger take a long drive, take take a nice swim eat some lunch and head back was what I was thinking lol

+Larry d yeah there are a couple of really nice hidden swimming holes out there, checkout this video. I show one of the really nice little hidden spots to cool off out there ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kceM1o29b38.html

+Larry d that's basically a perfect day in my opinion!

+Hayden Fairchild No I haven't thought about that but I have seen some Banshee powered YFZ hybrids out there and they do look bad ass. I actually prefer the feeling of the old steel Banshee frame better for some reason, I think it's just the geometry of the frame I like better.

gotcha with the squatch

+Justin Wiig I have been camping there back when I lived in Chico. Seemed like a great spot. My little two wheel drive truck I had at the time didn't really like the muddy road much lol. Would love to go back with a four wheeler someday and explore those trails.

+TrailBlogger cool I'll be exited to see that

Justin Wiig probably a ride we will do this spring during the camping season

+Jose Cuevas I used to prefer the YFZ but when I put the 2 into 1 on the Banshee it changed everything. Throttle response is much better like the four strokes but you have that top end scream that only the Banshee can do. The dual carb setup delivers a lot more top end for the straights on flats but the single carb gives you that twitchy instant throttle response. I could never get my dual carbs to hit like that without riding the clutch all day even when they were both perfectly in sync.

That's what I love about the yfz the response on the throttle. The banshee does have a delay on the power but. I love the power band my banshee is blown still don't have all the funds to fix. So I've been riding my yfz more. Great videos

Jose Cuevas Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Always good to talk to another YFZ450 / YFZ350 rider. People ask me all the time which one I like more- I always figured the YFZ450 was gonna be my favorite and I have the most money in aftermarket parts in the YFZ450 up until this recent total engine rebuild on the Banshee. I just like the body style of the old steel frame banshee more along with the two stroke BRAAP but it's great to be able to switch it up.

+Grim Riding Funny we were just talking about this in the comments on that last video. They both have their advantages. The 22s are bulky and heavy but grip GREAT. You can plow through snow and muddy spots that you might never get through with the 20s because you get high centered. The 20s will handle a lot better in the corners and for jumping etc but you will bang your rear end more. One of the guys in the last video was saying the 22s will wear down your transmission due to the extra stress which is probably true but getting sunk in a hole due to lost traction will also strain the engine if you end up overheating it or throwing the chain trying to spin yourself out. So they both have their advantages, I like to run the 22s in the Winter and then the 20s in the Summer if I can.

+TrailBlogger would there be a big loss of power if I changed to the 22's without regearing it

Grim Riding they are pretty heavy but they put the power to the ground immediately. I didn't regear and my 700 turns them fine. since they are taller they also make your gearing a little higher too.

Rejet it

we are riding in northern california USA

+Long Beach Gas Powered Bikes this was the weekend before last before the big storm rolled through and got us all soggy

+Alec Westbrook We are in far northern California. Thanks for watching!

Noah Knox specifically this is the Shasta Chappie OHV Area near Shasta Lake. It's about 10-15 minutes from the town of Redding, California. Happy to tell you all you want to know about it if you are considering a trip man

+Jose Cuevas LOVE IT

+Jose Cuevas LOVE IT

+Jose Cuevas LOVE IT

+TrailBlogger plan on getting a 07 yfz 450 soon although i see many videos of the ltr beating it still both great fourwheelers i just personally like yamaha more whats your take yfz or ltr

Stanced G37 never rode against one they look like pretty sweet quads. I would stick with the Yamaha but that's just me.

+Harry Potter I have a 700 and a 450, my girl Twinkles like to ride the 700. Sometimes she let's me have a turn on it :-) The 450 is more light and agile than the 700. Love the power of the 700 but it just feel HUGE when you are flying through the air. I am far more comfortable on the 450 but I haven't spent as much time in the saddle on the 700 so that could just be me.

+TrailBlogger Thanks!!
