I private messaged you!!!!

 

The more you modify it the more the chances are that something will go wrong.
The more you put it under pressure the more chances are something will go wrong.
The longer you put it under pressure the more chances are something will go wrong.

When something does go wrong, many times you can fix them yourself.

And sometimes you need a professional help.

2 strokes are more fun to fix and also easier to fix.

Just look down the page a little bit and you will see the worlds longest thread based on just this.

Oh, and SEARCH.

 

Personally I'd keep your Z400 and use the money to upgrade it big time... Because Both those bikes are fairly uncomforable suspension wise and with the 3000 or more dollars you save you can make your Z tear apart Banshees and YFZs

 

YOU SHOULD JUST RIDE BOTH AND GET THE ONE YOU LIKE THE MOST CAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE BEST THING YOU COULD DO THEN YOU KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE THE BEST BIKE FOR YOU CAUSE YOU TRIED THEM BOTH AND CHOSE THE ONE YOU LIKED THE MOST, WHICH, WOULD BE THE BEST ONE FOR YOU

























or you could just buy both [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

my vote is obvious

 

i like 4 strokes because i like there sound better and there torque, like kraw said pick what you like, i would pick the yfz450 its faster and already souped up, and reliable

 

seriously keep the Z and invest in a 440 kit or even a 470 stroker and upgrade suspension money saved and plenty of more earned cuz u will deff b faster

 

I used to have a Z-400, one of the most reliable and best bikes I have ever had but now I've got a banshee, overall I've ridin both a 450 and a Shee, both excellent bikes, but If you want something for just speed go for a Banshee, 450's are fast but not as fast as my Shee, I really like the 450's, a sweet bike to be that fast for stock, like blindside said I'd keep your Z-400(i miss mine)

 

my friend has a modded 400 and he tear up alot of both of them in the drag
