is the 400 ex a good trail bike?
i heard it has low ground clearence do you get hung up alot?
how is it in the mud
trail handling?
is it hard w/out reverse

 

I see lots of people with 400exs trail riding. The clearence is not a problem just put on bigger tires then it will have alot more clearence. As far as the mud goes it cant do much worse than any other sport quad. I have ridden some 400exs and they handle very well in my opinion it handles as well as the z400 kfx. The bike is pretty light so its not to hard to move around.

 

how is the maitnence of the 400 ex? could anyone provide a list of items and how frequently they should be done

 

this is what i usually do to my 400ex

after every ride-
air filter, check, wash if needed
lube chain
check chain slak
wash bike
chek tire pressure

every other ride -
check/ tighten all bolts
check oil level

once a month-
change oil
check sparkplug

every 3 months
new oil filter

once a year-
new spark plug
check for proper jetting
lube everything that moves

am i missing anything? not realy sure

 

yep i think u got it all. Pretty much the same for all quads. 400ex is a real good quad for the $.

 

thank you for all your help i really appreciate it, hopefully i will have my 400 ex soon
