I do think that the meter on my 08' would be cool but not sure about how much it would distract me.  I would constantly be looking at it, not to mention thats just more weight(as little as it is) that i dont want.  Its bad enough trying to build the bike to pull me around.  I am 6'6" and 250 so it takes a little extra giddy up.

I like the gauges  :thumbs:  you don't need anymore giddy up than what it comes with stock to pull you around.  :grin_nod:

For me I guess I like the se and the new dash.  I don't think the hood is that big at all.  I'll make sure to see on in real life to see if it bugs me.

I think the dash is a great idea. Several people install this as an aftermarket add, so kudos to Yamaha for adding it.

Shame on Yamaha for not making the YFZ450 a fuel injected ride.

But there is one down side, no tach.  That kinda bugs me.

And who knows why they didn't go efi.  But even with carbs they are still the fastest 450 out there.

True.

I guess it's the theory of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
