I purchased my KFX700 because it is an awesome all around trail quad for the trails in PA. Well, I am moving to CA now and will probably end up selling my Recon. Should I get a new dune quad for myself and give the KFX700 to my wife or put the 800 kit in the KFX700 and buy the wife a Z400? If you were in my shoes, which scenerio would you go with and what is the best all around 4-stroke dune quad?Thanks.

 

i think you should give her the 700 and buy you a ds650.....they are a lot of fun in the sand and have a great suspension and a whole lot of power.

 

does she like the 700?

 

If you want a dune quad get a YFZ. That is, if you go to dunes with big hills, and like to jump too. If you don't go at it real hard, get a Raptor or DS they are real comfy and have enough power.

But like at St Anthony, where the hills are real tall and steep, the heavy quads fall behind quickly.

 

TRX450R.

 

the bombardiers do not fall behind quickly on tall hills....at least mine doesnt anyway!

 

you've never seen St. A's then. I have a raptor, love it to death, but the yfz, banshee, 250r do better on the big stuff

 

the yfz, banshee, and a modified 250r would have more power than a raptor ne ways. not to mentin the banshee is the king of the dunes ne way...

 

best 4 stroke dune quad???

probably a yfz450 (weight), or a Ds650(motor)

ok ok

a ds650 motor in a yfz chassis

 

Where in CA will you be?

If in Southern CA and going to be going to Glamis you really don't need all that much power.

If going to Pismo, a 400EX without paddles is enough.

Dumont - you'll want a little more power but, you can get by with a 400 series.

Northern CA and planning on goint to Sand Mt., NV - You'll probably want a powerful quad.

I love my DS. You can probably get a DS and put some mods on it to get some AWESOME power out of it at about the same price as a YFZ (man, the YFZ's are expensive!)

The DS will be way more comfortable in the dunes and desert of most CA riding than the YFZ.

Give your wife the KFZ700.
