Hey, I started to think about gettin a 400ex, but then realized some stuff. Like, it doesnt have reverse, and itz wheelie happy, kinda outdated....blahblahblah. then i read some posts in here and thought, the z400 has more power, more speed (i think), about the same price, and it has reverse. but it is not on epinions.com and the suzuki website wouldnt load so if u can answer them, i have some questions.

1. Is it good on trails? (wood trails)
2. Is it good in mud?
3. Can it wheelie good?
4. Can it jump good?
5. What is the average price new/used?
6. Are they good in water?
7. Does anybody know the top stock speed?
8. Could an intermediate rider get used to it?
9. Could somebody copy/paste the description/facts from the website?
10. What is the ground-clearance?

 

6. Are they good in water? no its not a submarine.

 

2. Is it good in mud? if this your intention suzuki makes 4x4 atvs

 

i just mean a couple feet over 1 foot deep stream.

 

3. Can it wheelie good? since its frame geometry is almost the same on this machine as it is on a 400ex(since both frames were designed by the same person) yes it wheelies easlly If you have to ask on this machine if it can wheelie then maybe you shouldent be riding.

 

lol its a great machine that alot of people ride and enjoy. Its a very good all around machine. both machines are very comprable and youll like either one for trails the z has reverse its more money than a honda with hondas new msrp of 5299 and suzuki at 5699

 

i dont mean very deep water - im not gonna go mudding im just wonderin how good it is - and duh it can wheelie, im not an idiot, i was wonder how good; like if itz wheelie happy.

 

ill answer your questions for you
1. it is perfect for trails... havnt had any problems yet...
2. mud.. depends on how much.. it is a sport quad so its not really gonna be good at mud... ive gotten stuck once
3. wheelies just as good as the ex,
4. i personally think, i may be wrong though, that it has better shocks then the raptor... i ride them both quite a bit ... and i juss think the 400 is better.... the thing flys though
5. i bought mine for 4,999 new... good luck finding one used as they juss came out
6, water.. once again it is a sport atv... doesnt float or swim... but up to 2-3 ft youll be fine
7. ~69
8. anyone can get used to a quad... best friends frist quad was a raptor at age 15... he is really good now so you should be ok on this less agressive machine.
