hey, I want a Z-400 but I have been hearing some bad things like the axle's and spark plug and i was wanting to know if anyone has had any other problems or info on these problems I dont wanna here the good things about the quad I wanna know the bad things so i know what to watch for Thanks

 

The only problems I have had with mine are:
1.) The brake disc is slightly bent due to plastic skid plates.
2.) The swingarm linkage skid is broke cuz it's plastic
3.) The black grommet on the front right fender is gone due to a large UFO hitting it.
4.) I spend a lot on gas because I am always on it.
5.) It's always dirty
Other than that, I love this quad

 

The only problems I've heard with plugs was just a gap issue. Other than that, I've heard nothing else of problems there. I have yet to check mine as mine seems to just be getting faster and faster as the more hours I put on it. No real problems with either of ours, although there is a very slight wobble to the axle when jacked up and running in gear. Not sure as to whether it's just a tire/rim, or axle. Hasn't really made any difference in the quality of the ride, so I'm just waiting till I have her in for valve checking and stuff. We are above satisfied thus far with our machines.

 

I've been pretty hard on my Z and other than the axle this machine is awesome. I MX the dog pi[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] out of mine and it seems to like the abuse. It also has responded well to a few mods. Buy one, you'll love it!!

 

well thanks for the info guys i also have a question where is everyone getting the k/n air filter and jet kits and what is the best pipe for one because i wanna get one when shiets gets some in there sold out well thanks

 

If anyone else has any problems with there Z please tell me so i make the right choice thanks

 

For a k&n, you should check out albaaction.com You have to use their setup that allows for the k&n to work, I dunno, it's that nice looking aluminum setup that bolts to your air box. I am pretty sure that they're the only ones with a set up for the k&n for the Z. I am on my way to their site right now to order both for myself.

 

thanks for the info vooduchild im gonna have to pick me up one of those after i get my z-400 here in a littl while

 

hindelk, its a helluva good quad. just watch the axle

 

ok now does the axle bend or break and has the dealer covered it please write back
