Just a couple of questions for you guys. First I had a Scrambler 400 but it wasn't stable enough for me, so my question is because I like 400's. How stable is the z-400? Also is it a good bike for someone who wants the stability in the mountains, dunes, etc?

 

First off I should not even respond to you since you said Scramblers blow. They are good quads. What are you trying to do Einstein? Trail, MX, Hills?

I have had both. Yes, the Z400 is a LOt more stable and just all around fantastic. I also love a slightly tuned Sport with the right tires.

 

I'm into trails, hills, and some track but more in the mountains. Is this still good for that?

Also I loved my Scrambler, it was just to shakey for me.

 

Let me get this straight. So, you loved your Scrambler. But, Scramblers blow. Huh?

If a Scrambler is too shakey for you, you need to lose about three hundred pounds.

 

scramblers definately dont blow..try drag racing one sometime...youll be surprised by their power.

as for your question, the z and the ex both basically have the same geometrics, so either one would be a good choice

 

I would not dought the power but I dont know about automatic for a sport.

 

Well my Sport blows.... the plastic off of alot of other quads.LOL What did you mean by shakey? You can buy the OEM optional springs that will lower the bike an inch and not affect the nice ride. Widen the front end with spacers an inch to increase stability, and then install a steering damper on it. Other than that I guess we all are just kind of stumped on what exactly you mean. Bubba

 

Well I can't really install stuff on it right now it is totaled. I rolled it last weekend and when the shop looked at it , there was more damage to it than what I had done. So the combination of the two made the insurance adjuster total it.

As far as the shakeyness, it felt like it wanted to tip over on its side really easy. I loved the power the thing had but I didn't like the stability issue. So that is why I'm looking at the z-400, cause it has the same characteristics of the 400ex and I like the 400ex alot.

 

Well Bubba is going to kill me for replying to this.

If you like the pooting sound of the four strokes then get you a
Z400 or the Kawaski kf400. And have something just like eveyone
else.

And by the way my scrambler will out run my Quadracer (for Now).

But is really fun to out run every one on Bubba's.

I'm sorry, I still don't get it. Unless there was something wrong with your machine, it would NOT feel shakey. If the tie rod ends are worn, it would feel that way while you were riding. The handlebars would shake in your hands. But a fully functional Scrambler is extremely stable.
