I dont know.....but ill say this. In a typycal GNCC or motocross start NO MATTER WHAT I DO I cant keep the front end from coming up, and having to let off the throttle. Even with me leaning totally over the bars it still comes up. Extended swingarm (+2&quot would be nice =). Im going to have to come off the start gently and ease into it. One thing for sure, stock length swingarm Z400's will be an interesting (comical?) sight on the GNCC starts.....LOL. They will wheelie, but if you keep the front on the ground they will RIP.

I mounted up my holeshot XCT's on mine (23" front, 22" rear). Yes, guys they do fit and dont hit the footgards, but they come *DAM* close. Looks weird. Looks like the swingarm should be a little longer.

What do you guys think? Other than the above I LOVE MY Z400!!!

with new tires my 400 won't stay down either. so i found a new way to start and maybe you should try it..but before you do let me warn you its very hard on the clutch. what i do with mine is i put her in second and get the clutch to right about where shes about to grab but not quite grabbing yet, get my revs way up there and when its time to go just hammer it and slip the clutch slowly until its all the way out. if you get good at doin that it'll come in handy believe me.
congrats on the z-400 i wish i had one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Did you use aftermarket rims? If so, is the bolt pattern really the same as a 400ex? I need to get some rims for my duning tires.
