went riding with a bloke on a wr450 on the weekend he had a kenda parker tyre on it had done less than 10hrs and it was shagged that bike was all over the place its linkage rear suspension was bouncing everywhere prably should have lent him a screwdriver

He must be a bit harsh on the throttle cause a mate of mine with an older YZ250 who is a real “throttle jockey” all speed no style rider, gets about 20 hours out of those things, carlsbad is his pick so far, cause it looks so aggressive… as it runs over his own back, but he does get a good run out of them, and he only knows two throttle positions, slide jammed against the spring, and none.

Thanks for the vote of confidence T/B, as we know a well tuned smoker reacts completely different to a good 4T (Did i just say that out loud??:dry: )and the quarter litre WhyZed does seem to kick her heels up and put a bit of distance into the equation (leaves KTM300s and any other comparable bike absolutely wallowing in the wake of acceleration, So I will give an appraisal from my style of riding which will quantify the parameters of use.

those WR450s get a kick in the mid-range from what I’ve experienced and that will give a tyre a fairly hard time, they certainly ain’t a bike for riding with finese, and they carry a fair amount of weight too, so it’s probabl if he was riding it like it wasn’t his…:blush:

I have ridden a couple of Yammie 450’s recently and they don’t seem to have any more or less power than the Kato. Maybe there’s a problem with Pud’s bike? Maybe he only rides others peoples bike like he stole them…..hang on, maybe he did steal them!! :laugh:
