My brother(SuzukiBoom) got his z400 today i rode it around and wheelied it but didnt open it up. But heres what I got out of it.
Front suspension softer than my cannibal- I liked that
Its not easier to wheelie, but stays up easier. has to do with the touchyness of the fuel injection that its harder to keep my cannondale up.
Its defintaly faster than a stock 400ex.
When I rode a 400ex. I was riding it and couldnt tell what was going on. No Power.
if i got another quad it would probaly be a z400
Its not that bad a 4-wheeler, but its no Cannondale.
I tell you more after we drag it.

 

If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to replie.

 

What was the OTD price if you don't mind saying?

 

6,011 otd, they didnt charge doc and setup.

 

Which one do yu think handles better? Did you get a chance to jump the Z400? What was that like?

 

I cant tell you what handles better because, I have an axle and it wouldnt be fair. The stock tires on the z400 let you slide unlike the holeshots which suck a$$. I like the front suspension on the z400 better because it isnt as stiff as mine. I havent jump it yet. The seat is higher than mine and harder. But the front plastic makes it look higher than it actually is, its not as cramped as a 400ex is you can stand up without feeling humched over, I havent jumped it yet but it will out perform the 400ex in every category. its nothing like the 400ex that all bull$h*t.

 

I will tell you guys one thing. I picked up my Z today and I have no clue why people keep saying it is tippy. I thought it rode fine. Didn't get a long test ride, but enough to see that it was a comfortable seat and cornered pretty decent.

 

I believe the z motor is great but did you look at the chassis top steering stem clamp is on a sheetmetal plate 4-6in.from frame no bracing way small balljoints,way more welds than needed pieces of tubing were used when one could have.The chain adjustment and the brakes are very mushy.I think lots of corners were cut to sell for $5600 remians to be seen if it will hold up.
