oh yeh,,, and i have never crashed my quad, i am an agressive rider and do alot of big jumps, most ramp to flat ground landings, but nothing bad enough to do this type of damage, the tubing is paper things and it is not broke at the welds.

 

Sounds like you bottomed out the shocks. Not sure I would call that the fault of the frame or not. The stock suspension is very soft and will bottom out easilty. Once it does it's placing a ton of shock/stress on the frame, you can expect something to give somewhere. I've yet to hear of a frame cracking with Z400's that have upgraded the shocks/springs to something designed for their weight and use.

Just my observation.

 

well i am a 145 pound rider and have only bottomed out the front shocks ,maby three times, i try not to land on the front end if i can help it.. I'm not dumb to the fact that a better suspension set up is better,, but they shouldn't advertise jumping out of hellicopters if the frame can't handle the stress, plus alot of the tests they do are on stock machines. I have been riding since about the age of 5 ,, and have never seen a 6 month old frame break with as little bit of abuse this bike has had. Don't get me wrong i love the bike but the frame sucks.. If you don't belive me cut yours in half and see for yourself. It is not good tubing

 

Ive had my z400 for about 6 months and i just rolled it badly. MY plastics and the things on the handle bars so completely scratched up. ALso i think my axle is bent. This gives me an opportunity to fix up my quad since it is all stock. Anyone know about what could be under warranty and where i could get a good deal on plastics and parts?

 

Nothing is under warranty YOU F___ING CRASHED IT what makes you think Suzuki is responsible for it !

 

hey,heres a good one
i know someone who got a 400 ex and they said that they have a warranty that even includes tires!!!he told me that if he blows out a tire
on the trail,someone comes to fix it....ON THE TRAIL!!!now that is a warranty!!!(too bad it'S B.S)
