Going to get a new 450 - Kawasaki KFX450 Forum

joe_82601 · 02-06-2011, 02:25 PM

Ive heard a ton of good and a ton of bad about the the KFX. I know a lot of the previous models had quite a few problems but supposedly the new 2011 took care of them for the most part?

I will not get a YFZ and i will not get a TRX.

What is the best recommended?

im stuck between the Can-am and the KFX.

KFX hands down. Really not any issues to worry about.

The kfx is the most versatile 450 IMO. great for the track and tons of fun to jump, I rode it for fast trails. Just keep in mind that you do need an exaust system to make it a fun quad and also the seat is hard so you will wanna do something about that. brass bar inserts help deaden the vibration and tires will help handleling. Dont pay too much for a stock kfx, They were selling them new for $4500 last year this time so you could get a deal but if you could get one setup nicely for trails and it looks clean, then you know what to do. I like buyinh them stock but performance parts are $$$.

yeah i get what your saying. i havnt seen deals like that around here. I was looking at the 2011s tho, so i dont think they are doing any sales on them yet. Im more interested in the 2011 bcuz of the reasons i explained being that most of the notorious problems ppl had were taken care of, making the 2011 KFX the best one yet.

nothing changed on the 2011 so how is it the best one yet? they are all good just have a few weak spots like any of the 450's.
