The YFZ450 is an extremely reliable and badass quad. It smokes the Hondas.. I bought mine in 2003, it was a 2004, I was one of the first people to get it in my area. The stator went bad on it, and the gasket on the side case needed to be replaced. These were common on the first 2 years of production. Other than that, I rode it all the time for 6 years. I had well over a 1000 hours on it. I rode it everyday for a couple years. Never had problems, always ran perfect. SICK QUAD!!
Around 6-7 years ago I've seen this video because i used to own a quad too...and through it I've found "story of the year" and "yellow card" and every time i come back to hear those songs with throttle ;pp
dude that is wierd, i've been pounding the hell out of mine all summer, i prolly have 65+ hours on my machine and i've had 2 problems that were my fault, cracked my steering stem (i wrecked) and then i tore the rubber boot b/t my carb and engine manifold and that was because i didnt know i was supposed to hold the end of my airbox lid down when i serviced the filter and the stress tore the boot...bummer you had issues with yours..you made rippin around on a flat field look fun in this video tho!
this is an awesome quad! i have the 525 sx, and balls out it's a shit load of power but to much to have fun on the trials.. i might have to get the xc for a little more enjoyment. but nothing beats the sx in a drag...
Aw man, im in Afghanistan right now. i just picked up a 525XC on craigslist, for one hell of a deal. i will tearing shit up on it in a few short weeks! i've been watching these videos wishing it was me!.
Go watch your video again ;-) Do you still ride bikes? Atv? :-) I have a Kawasaki Ninja 1000 2005 and a Yamaha WR450F. Dont have a quad right now. They look fun, those light race quads :-)
@lilgeneser Glad i went with the Outlaw i did the same thing and polaris covered it for me sounds like ktm gave you the shaft after spending more then my outlaw cost
Nice video, those KTMs are sweeeeet! If I didn't have my LTR450 already then I'd probably buy a 525XC or a DS450XC. My friend with a KTM 250SXF always beats me in drag races, lol it pisses me off.
thats a mad video mate and nice riding! i only got a peice of crap chinese loncin 150 but im probably getting a yamaha banshee within the next 4-12 weeks
Awesome!! Hey dude does this quad require alot of maintenance like ive been hearing or thats just hater talk plz let me know what kind of maintenance youre doing after you ride i want to buy a quad but still hesitating between ktm or yamaha plz reply
carb all the way . . jetting a carb is cake. once you put some mods (exhaust/cam/porting) EFI will need a great 300$ PC with a laptop to tune on a carb , you need a 2mm allen a ajustable key, 6 mm long socket and jets/needles.
thats some nice riding, I really like the 2 wheel transfer and the powerslide into a wheelie they were nice, but didnt really like the music, but great vid
@TrippyPro depends on your local dealer, im good friends with the all star polaris dealer in rothesay which deals only ktm and polaris models, and i got a 2011 on order for $9800 but thats cash up front. i have no clue if you finance one
hi i have a trx 450r and i see that you can wheelie thats nice. Can you pls give me some few steps of how to wheelie plz and ty. nice riding by the way.

Good maintenance goes a long way!!
I never babied the quad, not even for the first few hours I put on it. Drove it like I stole it. lol

That's bad ass man!!! Pay it forward!!!!!
Around 6-7 years ago I've seen this video because i used to own a quad too...and through it I've found "story of the year" and "yellow card" and every time i come back to hear those songs with throttle ;pp
525 LIFE 💯
Sweeeeeet machine! One of the best race-ready quads you can get! Me jealous. haha
For what is this music...., the KTM is enough music in my ears

dude that four wheeler is nothing but raw power!!!
ive been looking into this quad more and have seen that they require a top end rebuild every 20-30 hours. is this true?
I have one its driving real good
Thanks for everyone who watched the video. Cant believe that this was 9 years ago!!
Go watch your video again ;-)
Do you still ride bikes? Atv? :-)

How I wish I could try one these KTM's! Nice video dude !! Thankx for sharing !
My quad will never be sold. I'm buying 3 more of the 525 xc's.
@lilgeneser Glad i went with the Outlaw i did the same thing and polaris covered it for me sounds like ktm gave you the shaft after spending more then my outlaw cost

Awesome!! Hey dude does this quad require alot of maintenance like ive been hearing or thats just hater talk plz let me know what kind of maintenance youre doing after you ride i want to buy a quad but still hesitating between ktm or yamaha plz reply
Duurtty riding dude. That KTM kicks ass!
carb all the way . . jetting a carb is cake. once you put some mods (exhaust/cam/porting) EFI will need a great 300$ PC with a laptop to tune
on a carb , you need a 2mm allen a ajustable key, 6 mm long socket and jets/needles.
thats some nice riding, I really like the 2 wheel transfer and the powerslide into a wheelie they were nice, but didnt really like the music, but great vid
this is such a nice quad. i really need a faster quad. is this and the 450 ktm quad reliable?
nice ride man. have the same one.have u got slip on or some engine changes?
@TrippyPro depends on your local dealer, im good friends with the all star polaris dealer in rothesay which deals only ktm and polaris models, and i got a 2011 on order for $9800 but thats cash up front. i have no clue if you finance one
@lilgeneser you like the polaris better? hows the maintenance on the polaris?
That thing has some serious power.
man the bike is SICK ! love it
How are these on tight trails? Can't deciede between the 450 or 525, only $300 difference.
nice quad its badass KTM started making em... How fast do you think it goes?
hey umm i kinda want a quad like yours and umm i was wondering if you can like tell me about the bike like the power and how it rides and stuff? :)
what is the name of the song....
nice quad!!
nice video man, i love ktms they seem like nice bikes.
@appinator3 probly any of the 125 2 strokes would be good for you. unless your a new rider then start on an 85.
Do you still have it
there is no anymore KTM ATV????i wish there was ktm 525 xc 2011 -.-
this is a sick quad,
this bike is awesome, ive got the 450 sx but i want the 525 xc
nice ridin man where u from
what year is your KTM? Man it rocks.
hows the carb on that thing? needs adjustment, im lookin to by but dont no about the carb over a efi atv,, anythoughts?
ktm all the way. get a 09 or 10 they have made some sweet minor change to the suspension and chassis handle bar stuff too
im thinking about getting either the 525 or the 450 which is better
whats the fastest stock fourwheeler straight out of the box? is it this or something like a renegade?
@lilgeneser no way? I live in raymore! you must live in raintree then. Nice bike too. KTM for life....onlyi f i could afford a ktm like yours!
hi i have a trx 450r and i see that you can wheelie thats nice. Can you pls give me some few steps of how to wheelie plz and ty. nice riding by the way.
i remember u sold ur ktm, and u said u wanted a yfz 450, what is more reliable, meaning what will last years and years to come
How much do you pay from maintenance? Im planning on getting one
is the xc stable compared to wider quads? i know it has only 45 inches compared to 50 for sx versions.
how much r those quads brand new
never really paid attention to the ktm's, but these things are sick. gonna have to rethink my selection before i get a 400 or 450.
Do you race or did you just make your daddy buy you full KTM gear? Still pretty impressive, I almost want to convert to a quad from a dirt bike
Yeah i've seen it, its got a huge "Give me! desire":P
I love all ktm models^^
Молодец! Виртуоз! Землекоп - миллионер!
