My EX has the basic mods I listed in your other post, yet fifth gear pinned down a desert wash a stock Z will slowly walk away from me. The EX has the advantage in low end torque, and the Z has the advantage on the top end. Do lots of tight trail riding if you want to beat the Z.

It makes no sense to try and do extreme performance mods on the low end machines anyway. Sure, years ago when a 400 was the top of the line it made sense, but now with 450-700cc machines out there, one should trade up to something bigger and not sacrifice reliability by tearing into a prefectly good engine!
