The KFX 400 and the Z-400 both have the same motors and look alike but which one has a bigger frame and can support more weight? Help me out.

They are the exact same quad, made by Suzuki, just rebadged and sold by Kaw. Arctic Cat has a version also, the only difference there being plastics and seat(and a few suspension/engine tweaks, depending on model year)

So the frame is the same size as the Z-400s. Is their anything different in the size at all. I'm looking for the bigger quad.

You pull the plastic off of the Suz the Kaw and the Cat there perfect copies of each other.
There is zero differance other then the suspension stuff stated above.

If you are a larger guy try looking at the DS650
These are a larger machine and they have been produced since 00 so you can find one without your price range i'm guessing.

If you're a bigger guy I would suggest skipping the 400s and moving up to a KFX700. I looked at the Z but it was too small for me. The KFX700 on the other hand was the perfect size and it will still haul (and beat up on 400s easily). It's similar in size to the Scrambler you have in your sig, jsut a bit smaller and a lot lighter.

The DS is nice but there are never any around. I looked at the V Force but its automatic. If its a sport quad I want it to be manual. I donno whats gonna happen. Just doin some homework, won't get an ATV till late spring. Thanks for helping out guys.

I like that you compared the V Force to the scrambler. I'll look more into it. Thanks.

Get a 660 they are pretty big bikes and with just a slip on and a air filter it really unleashs the motor. I weigh about 230 and I wouldnt trade mine for the world havent rode the new rappy might change my mind but out of most if the quads out right now I would recomend the 660.

The weight is not the problem. Its my height. I feel so freakin huge on some quads.

Im only 6' but I could see how a person that is up to 6'4 could be comfortable on one.
