I am 5ft 2in 105 pounds and 14 years old. I am thinking About getting a z400 do you think if I get one I will hurt myself on it? If I dump the clutch will I get hurt? If so what other quad do you think would be godd for jumping. My current quad is a polaris 400 sport 1998 2 stroke.

 

get the Z great for riding and jumping
ive dumped the clutch many of times and its only came out from
under me once and Im twice your weight
another is hondas 400 ex its a good all around bike

 

well you can hurt yourself on any quad. the z400 is a great quad i think you will enjoy it, also check into the 300ex and the raptor350 if the 400s are a bit intimidating to you. and like mucky said the 400ex is another great quad you should look at.

the yfz is supposed to be a great jumping quad but thats what ive read, not actually felt.

 

i think a yfz would be a bit much for you but a z400 or 400ex wouldnt be a bad choice.

 

You are no doubt still growing??? The dilema is whether to get a bike you can "grow into", or a bike that is correctly sized for where you are now. Right now, you are the perfect size for a Blaster, 300EX, 250EX, etc. If you are an experienced rider you might be able to handle the 400, but I would say you are kind of light at 105 lbs., for that machine. I am 200 lbs., and I can't say that I can throw a 400 around like a toy!

 

My son is 14 and rides a 04 400ex. He has been riding awhile but a little bigger then you are. He is 6' and weighs about 215. The Honda is a nice fit for him right now. Two things I don't like about the Honda is the lack of reverse which the 05 has and it's air/oil cooled. That's asking a lot out of your oil in the desert. The Z400 is a much more modern quad with a more up to date engine. If you are mature enough to handle the quads both are nice. If I was buying one for myself it would be the Suzuki.
