I've read a lot about the YZ490's and apparantly they were tough to jet and ate pistons. Is that a problem with the IT's? I bet it is a beast and a riot to ride, especially in the sand. :P

Tough to jet supposedly, these models were the trail version so I believe the pistons lasted a very long time, It makes less power than my 380.

Must be a milder and better state of tune than the YZ490's. Should be an awesome bike.

Just fired it up and it sounds great! I think it may even out do my 380 in smoke screen capability! I have all the plastics and seat off of it so I couldn't take it for a ride but I think it will be a blast!
