I got a line on a clean looking (from pictures) 2003 LTZ 400 that I was looking into for the boy, I know there were frame cracking issues with some of the early models, but is there anything in particular to check for on a used Z ? It's a far drive,so I can't look at it until I go to buy it, so let me know some questions to ask the owner when I call him up to set up a time to look at it / buy it. Thanks for any info, I've always valued the input from this forum, lots of experience to draw from.

That Z400 will be alot more powerful than the 300 ex, if you buy, make sure he takes it easy until he gets used to the power.
