z400 Mods
#1
Hey....well ok now I know there is like a million threads on this...but right now I'm not to much up for reading everything...so here's the deal...been riding for ten years (since i was four...do the math...yea...im young haha)...have gone through many quadz...I've been very satisfied with my 04' z400 since the day I bought it...except now I want more...I love to ride and I would say I ride about 3 hours a day on weekdays because school, and about 20-25 hours on the weekends, moving out to the country so I will be riding a hell of a lot more then now because I only live by a pit so all I do is pretty much jump and do wheelies...and race some quad guyz...and that's when I came here...because I started to get beat pretty bad...so right now...I have a completely stock z400 (except with a cool first aid kit under the seat hahaha) so my question is...what are some good things to buy...Exhaust pipes, nerf bars, skid plates, etc. Pretty much a beginger at the inside and kind of outside of quadz and I really want to learn much about them (hoping to have a good career dealing with quads...and be in the Baja 1000 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] hehehe)...I've seen a lot of your guys/gals Specs in your signature but I'm kinda lost in some of them (except obvious things...)...sooo...thanks for any of anyone's help [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

hey, most people would prob rip on you for posting this about being new. I am new to this, somewhat, and want to tell you that whatever part you are looking at putting on you quad, put it in the search and i am sure there are some good threads that will teach you about whatever it is you want to know. I am 24, and bought a z400 about 6 months ago and love it, i looked into a lot of stuff and the first thing i bought was a rear swing arm skid plate bc i was killing mine. after that i bought some nerfs from albaaction.com bc they are really a good price. beyond that, some will tell you to protect you bike with skid plates, others will say to mod the engine, just read up on it before deciding what you need. later

Well I just got through modding a friends Z400.
1) TRX450R stock carb
2) DRZ base gasket
3) DG Exhaust, ebay
4) Polish and Ported the cylinder head
Running 188mj, 48pj and this quad screams, I'll beat money it will keep up with 450r's and YFZ's with no problem.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Cool thanks guys, I'll check out everything, and I want to ask a quick question. How much does a K&N Filter do? I'm getting one today and I just want to know what I'm looking foward to.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

A filter alone won't do much. I recommend putting a filter and pipe at the same time. I will need re-jetted when you do this. Do you know somebody good with jetting? If you are new to it, I wouldn't recomend going right into it without guidance first.
After these mods you should be very happy with it. Now if you want nerfs, skids, or whatever, that is soley up to you. Have any questions just ask![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I kind of know how to jet from watching some people (like all the 3/4 and WOT stuff...and where the certain things are) but I think I'll take it to my Suzuki dealer mabye - after I get the pipe that is - I'm thinking of getting a Full Yosh Pipe...I saw it from the Suzuki Website...but then again I see many people with White Bro's Pipes so I'm not all to sure...I really need a job though...haha I have a list of thing's I want for my quad but I only work on weekends...bout $20 an hour but I don't work all to much and only on weekends like I said...so..yea...parents are paying for most of this...and I think I saw the Full Yosh was about $600 from the Suzuki Site...then again there's always eBay haha...to long though... =(
Well I'm about off to ride some more and get some stuff but I will ask just one more question [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] haha, does the K&N PowerLid help as well? If so i'll buy that along with the Filter, and would it be ok in desert riding (Considering that's most of what I do living in the desert...)?
Sorry for all the questions but I got to know somehow and this place has pretty friendly people, heh.
Peace,
Kris
Oops! Almost forgot, sorry my bad...Are the DynoJet Kits really good?
