I have a question for you. Is it offensive to any veteran or military personnel to be saluted (military style) by a civilian?

I always took it as a compliment, as I believe most other do too.

Thanks for your kind remarks you guys,,

Allright, so raise my rent, I'm late with my annual Veterans story for good reason.

I bought the Vortex model and started to install it on my sons YFZ 450 when I noticed wires leading out of the stock thumb throttle down to the engine.

How are they with turning?

I understand the sand sharks are supurb with turning ability. Do you loose that with the Sand Stars????????????

FLYING TIGER

That sounds like something that you should have them fix.

Every RV I've owned has had some sort of holding/waste system problem when it was new. I believe letting the dealer fix it is best,, and plenty of people have been ahead of you with this very same problem.

Take it in.

Sorry I missed you Greg. My place has plenty of room and you're always welcome to stay here. How was Universal? I like Universal.

Good for Kawasaki to step up and do the fix's. I've bought Yamaha's, and I like them but have no faith that Yamaha would ever back up their product like Kawasaki (and usually Honda) has.

I've had my 450 for about 3 weeks, and can say it's the best machine I've ever been on. The thing handles like a dream, has a great stock suspension, and is simply an F'ing blast to ride.

The stock Yamaha airfilter is kinda silly. Perhaps it's Yamahas way of de- tuning the quad because it chokes it off pretty good, and could easily let in sand if not re installed smartly.
