I'm hoping to get a new atv this Summer and I can't decide weather to get a z250 or a z400. Right now I have a Kawasaki 180 and it just isn't enough, so I'm getting a new one this Summer. I'm 14 about 5'4" 120lbs. I have enough money for either of them so that isn't a problem. I'm not leaning towards anything right now, but if I get the z400 it will probably be the last atv I buy for long time. The only thing that turns me off about the z400 is the manual clutch, I've never ridden a manual clutch and my friend said it's a pain. Is it really that hard to get used to? I'm pretty sure I could handle either one, but I might have to try the z400 to see if I could. I was hoping you guys could give me some advice on what one would fit me better and which one to go with. Any help would be great. Thanks.

 

get the 400. i was in your shoes and got the 250. now im tired of my 250 and want a 400. youll get tired of the 250 quick and you can fix up the 400 alot more.

 

Definately go with the Z400. If you have a really hard time with the clutch a company called EFM-Billet makes an automatic clutch for it (around $500), so it would shift just like the Z250 does. I've got the Z250 and am 5'7" 120 lbs, and I'm bored with it already.

 

yes if u got the money, go with the Z400. I would have, but i dont got the money. But Im still very happy with my Z250 and im not bored with it at all and im 15. about 5'7 and like 120lbs too, and its not too small for me

 

Thanks for your input. I guess I'll go with the z400, and thanks SuzukiZ250Kid for that auto clutch. If I can't get used to the manual that's a good idea. Thanks again.
