i just asked about the KFX 400 in Kawasaki forums, and they said that it is the EXACT thing and that it is Suzuki.. is this true?

 

i think so but they have diferent plastics color and mabye a few small thing different but for overall there about the same...

 

Just different plastics.

 

the z400, kfx400, and dvx 400 are all the same quad just different plastics. I prefer the suzuki though....RIDE YELLOW[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

This may have just been a difference in break-in times and whatever other variables exist on newer quads, but in the most recent ATV Sport magazine, the KFX was actually a bit faster than the Z. It posted I believe a 2 or 3 mph faster top speed and beat the Suzuki in a drag race. Is there any mechanical advantage of a Kawi over a Suzuki these days, or is this just coincidence?

 

both quads are the same. made by the same people. just different plastics
you can have 2 bikes built at the same time by the same person and 1 of them will be faster than the other one

 

That's what I thought......

 

It's my understanding that for '05's, the Artic Cat, did not get the improvements like the Z and KFX.

 

This is a little-known secret, but I'll let you guys in on it....

The yellow z's have a 6th gear!

 

That is correct. No upgrades for the Arctic Cat.
