got my z-400 dirty
#1
finally got to ride my z-400 in the dirt and here's the scoop. yes, the quad is tippy but i have an easy fix. lean when you turn, it helps alot [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] seriously, this quad is awsome. it handles as good if not better than the 400ex but with a more comfortable ride. i'm fairly new to riding and i was doing jumps and whoops like a pro in no time. well, not really like a pro but i felt pretty damn good. as far as power goes it's got more than enough for me. i never went full throttle on it but you really can feel the power. i know it'll beat the 400ex with no problem but i'm not sure about it beating the raptor even though i was told that it has 1 more hp than the raptor on the dyno. i'll find out after me and my buddy finish breaking both our quads in. he has a raptor. the quad feels very solid and i don't think i'll have any major problems with it. i did stall and had to prime it to get started back up after doing some whoops with 1/4 of a tank left. that might be a concer i should tell my dealership. other than that the quad, IMHO, is close to flawless.
edit: btw, the looks of the quad is also great as i got alot of people turning their
heads and asking questions about it.

lol, it's worth the wait. trust me. i used to call the dealerships around me everyday (sometimes twice a day), and i think towards the end they got sick of hearing my voice. a dealership 50 miles away from me got 6 before everyone else so i did the drive and i got it even before the other dealerships got theirs. a few days later about 10 dealers called me and told me that they have it and they were very surprised when i told them that i've had my z-400. one replied "no wonder i haven't heard from you" LOL.

no trexx i got mine at chapparral in san berdoo. i paid 6400 otd. i think the 7100 that alba is selling is for might be worth it (depending on how much and what the put on it). i had several different quotes. i got it as low as 5700 otd from a dealer near my house but to this date they don't have it yet. i just got back from Hahm motors in anaheim and they have 2 on the show room and one was, for some reason, on sale for 5499 + what ever extra they feel like charging you.

check the cheap skid plate that they have on the swing arm guido. it's supposed to be real strong but mine's all torn up from rocks and stuff. i guess it's not as bad as my buddy's raptor, his completely fell off and threw his chain going up a hill. that really sucked. i guess it's time for some aluminum skids.
