I have a 400ex and several people say a Z400 is faster. From my expierences its not. It may have a little more bottom end, but mid-range and top end power dont even compare. What do you guys think?

 

The z does have alot more bottom but I dont know about the mid and top.

 

From my experience with some exs and zs racing the z has more power all around and about 3 mph over the ex on top speed. This is completely stock. Magazines basically say the samething i jsut said also. Jamie Mace

 

I've rode with you, who can bring wheelies up in 3rd and 4th gear and who cant.lol

 

400ex is a wheel machin. u can get the front end up any gear. just yank the pars hit the throtl n u lift. and dont listen to what mags say. the mags say the 400ex dont stand a chance against the z. well the z has 2 hp more only than a 400ex and speed is only 2mph faster on the z.

 

u can lift a 400ex front end streight up in 3rd gear if u use the clutch. but i cant get my front end no more cuz the clutch is slipping again

 

Don't need any clutch to get mine up in 3rd. I've pulled it up in 4th without a clutch a few times but you have to have exactly the right speed and time it right. And pull like crazy.

 

well my 400ex sinse the clutch isnt working right i cant pop it n ride a wheelie. and i have a drag pipe on my 400ex so it makes it hard to wheelie.

 

I have both an EX and Z, with identical mods. The Z is WAY FASTER!

The stock Z engine is really corked up. Just pulling off the airbox lid and an aftermarket exhaust, make a world of difference. The EX does well with those mods too, but just doesn't respond as well to the mods as the Z.
