ok ok ok..... did someone say that a STOCK 400 goes over 80 mph?????? how old is this kid that is making this claim..... has he ever drivin anything 'legally' that goes over 80mph... much less than a quad....

I'm calling BS here... especially since it's a KNOWN fact that the stock 400ex is several hp slower then the stock Z400, by Honda's own admission....

This sounds like a conversation that made it's way from the high school lunch line to the internet......

It's does generate good conversation though, doesn't it guys.......

I personally have seen banshees/quadzillas go way over 75mph during organized drag races.... But these were all very high end/pro built machines.... but never something stock....

 

All stock, and spinning 8500 rpm in 5th it will go 70.74 mph.

Mine with 1 down in the front, 1 up in the rear, 22's, and spinning 9700 rpm in 5th will go 80.39 mph

 

i have a speedometer on my 2004 se z400 with hmf full exhaust k&n filter a arms and +2 durable exhaust and i was at 58 going up a hill at about a 20 degree angle in middle of fourth. i just got the quad monday and were having major storms so my track was soacked but im going to a straight trail this weekend and ill let u guys know what it says

 

You do realise this thread is over a year old LOL

 

people really care about the very top speed?!? When I'm in the dunes I never even use 4th or 5th. Have fun in second!!!

 

haha no joke. unless youre gonna build a full on drag bike youll never be at 80 railin jumps. mine hit 86 and then 83 though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. depended on which direction i was headed.

 

my 03 Z hits 76 when im running race fuel at a 1/3 ration of face fuel/93octance. i know thats correct becuase i have a speedo on my bike and ive driven next to it running open in my sti.

theres no way it is stock unless you are going on a giant downhill. Or in another case my little brothers trx250ex goes 85 when in is in the back of my dad's truck</end quote></div>

Dont get revved up. There is always someone saying that their quad can grow wings and fly.lol

 

Hey jsut a disclaimer for me, that last post from me was calculated not measured in real life. It was done on a gearing calculator that takes into account the gearing, tire size, and rpm. So it may take a mile to reach that speed. I def wouldn't reach that speed riding in the trails.

 

It's not so much that I'd like to see the quad go 80 as much as I'd like to see them make a 90º right without braking. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
