I have both and like the 700 much better for the type of riding we do, the efi works great, the seat is softer, they have reverse and a better ride all the way around. we ride dunes and desert mostly. I only got the 450 because I needed another bike and I got it really cheap in a box of parts.

interested in selling the spare parts seperately? -
if it was me i would stay away from the HID's. ive had two sets on two diff 660's and they were problems. there OK if you buy a aftermarket stator and keep a battery tender on your battery when your not riding b/c they need a full battery to run them, drop a few volts and only one will work if your lucky. i ended up going back to stock with some trail tech laser lights on ours. i havnt heard anything about the LED's to say yes or no on them. to me the HID's ended up being 200 bucks that was thrown away.

if you want to upgrade the motor look into a set of monster (those are just my fav, many other good companies out there) duals and a set of FCR carbs. those were probably by far the best two mods i did to mine. just those two alone will give you the HP to run pretty much any 3 mod 700 and 450. dont mess with the compression unless you plan on changing the connecting rod.

another great mod for the 660's is buy the linkage from an 01 and flip it over, bolt on a 700 rear shock and you will get around 2-3 more inches of travel out of the back, will make a huge differance through the whoops! will be another cheap but effective upgrade to help with your front suspension. looks good though. you will love the elka's, i run the rebound/compression adjustable on both of mine. i was a die hard 660 guy for years, my last build we hit 63 hp out of a 686 that was put together from a box of parts... the 660's were always an underdog, but with a little work you can make them fffast =)

yeah, i saw on the news this morning some guy was saying the driver was partially to blame for going to fast. correct me if im wrong but wasnt it a "race"? isnt that the idea? ive heard this is pretty common over seas in rally car races. still a sad thing though, personally me or my kids would be no where close to where they are driving, esepecially if it was a rough area like that. either way its still very sad and im sure tramatic to those who were there. i wish the best for the familys who have had to deal with the loss....

do you still have the stock cage for it? father inlaw is looking for one to use as a ranch toy i dont think he would be interested in the cage. tags up to date?

I was reading up a little and found a few articles about the distributor gear. Its not any certian cylinder anymore its just misfire code. I would seriously trade this thing for a ford that was older at this point.

Well its been months and my truck still doesnt run right. Heres what ive done. AC delco plugs, cap, rotor, injectors and fuel filter. Im running MSD 8.5 wires. I keep getting a misfire code. It runs fine when its cold outside but when it warms up it idles bad. It has a miss when the engine isnt under a load at all. Ive done a vaccum check (19psi) and a smoke test on the intake. what am I missing that will make this thing run better. Its about ready to be part of the campfire on the thanksgiving trip....

Thats pretty close to what it is here.
