Modifications to the upper and lower A-arms further enhance stability and control by widening the front track to 960mm (up from 935mm). However, widening the track can compromise steering, so engineers decreased the caster by 2.2-degrees (from 8.5-degrees) as well as decreasing trail by 7mm (from 36mm). Camber was also changed and has been toed inwards by 1.5 degrees, all to ensure light steering feel.
I never had realized though that they set so much caster in the front end, 8.5 degrees is a ton! Probably why the ball joints wear out like crazy on them. Shoot I think they only set them to 4.5-5.5 degrees for MX.

Is it just me or is this thing approaching a reputation close to the 250r as being one of the best atvs ever built?
Haha that might be a little biased statement, but it is certainly a machine that appeals to a very large market of riders, even after the 450's come out.
