Other than oil changes and normal upkeep, the maintenance on mine has been low.

As far as the Banshee and Raptor it depends on where you're riding. Dunes, woods or tight twisty trails?

the maintenance cost on mine is somewhat low. but it all depends on how much you like to service it. I do mine after every 3rd ride so it can cost you a little more

depending on where you ride. good trail riding it should. drags or open areas not likely unless the motor is very well hopped up.

im with mucky on that. one of the best trail bikes made. you can ride it all day and your a$$ wont hurt and it also has reverse. cam chains. owner of a atv shop is going to cut some off my tentioner spring.i think thats what he's doing. he had a z he gncc raced and he said thats what they did with theirs so it doesnt put to much presser on the tentioner. got my new chain on to day(thanks oscar660).

Thanks for the replys guys. I want a z400 even more now!!! lol. The only thing im worried about is that shock mount cracking, but it wont keep me from getting 1. I have been going 2 the dealer lately and sitting on them, the z is comfortable and feels rite, i will most likely get 1.
