i am looking to get a new quad but i dont know what sport one would fit me best i drive my bros z400 all over but i kinda want to get a 450 but i dont knwo if they would be to big or what.

 

how much do u weigh?how tall are you? what r you going to use it for?also whats your experience?

 

im asuming when u say bigger u mean the enigne. the actual 450 (yfz, trx) are actually smaller than the 400. they have more of a race stance. lower and smaller to help cornering. im 6'0 and i fit perfect on my kfx400 and im a little cramped on my new yfz450.

 

i am 5'7 and weigh 130 and want the quad more for racing.

I'm in the same boat with my YFZ ... I bent the steering post on it a couple days ago so I'm gonna order a new LSR one, but I can't decide if I wanna get the 1" forward and 3" extended version....

I'd like to keep the "pivot point" where the bars meet the steering stem in the same location front to back as the stock stem, but a couple inches higher ...

I'm also gonna check into taller handle bars. I can't help but think that if I had the bars raised up 3-4" it wouldn't help me out a lot, even trying to corner with the thing.

 

If I weighed 130 pounds, I would be tear a$$ing around on a Blaster!

thats wierd i have a 400 ex and ride with pretty much just people that have yfz450s and trx450s, we swap back and forth all the time there quads are wider and feel bigger and taller then my 400. I'm 5.4- 5.5 and 115 pounds i keep up and some time beat the guys ( which is all i ride with saddly) dragging.

go with the 450, you will wish after a month or 2 you bought the 450 if you get a 400

 

ok just another question. i know where i can get a 2002 400EX for $2,250 and dont knwo if i am getting a deal or not the quads in great shape.
