Moto 400,
They are going to fix my friends frame! They should fix yours too! You need to make sure your dealer talks to the rep. Good Luck!

 

Could you tell me the name of the dealer and state and possibly what the reps name is.

Thanks,

Keith

 

Some dudes can break anything.

 

Keith the dealer is Columbia Power Sports in SC. I do not have the Rep name. Sorry!

 

Do you know if the only damage was the tube right behind the a-arms? If it had broken welds elsewhere it would have covered for that.

Thanks for your help.

 

Off-subject but whats up warrior 1 nice to see another SC rider here...where do you ride?

 

All of you guys are talking about the z400 braking frames. When did you buy them? I heard that the later built z400s and the kfx had good frames because they were built later. I do not know this for a fact i was just told this.

 

Mine was the first LTZ400 into Australia. Its no great hassle. Frame has been replaced under warranty, gussetted and powdercoted a beautiful blue color. It just means its now stronger than it ever was. I STILL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

 

I'd say that having your shop/or you take everthing off your quad to replace the frame is a MAJOR HASSLE!! Plus the extra expense of gusseting (to cover their lack of engineering on the replaced frame) and powder coating is another MAJOR HASSLE!! I bet your DEALER gave you a loaner Quad Z/Kfx-400 to ride while yours was down and out waiting for this no hassle deal! This new (Hassle free) generation is more forgiving than I would ever be!!

 

I case my 400EX quite often, because I have the suspension set up soft for trail riding....

and I don't have any cracks.... I weigh 200lbs.

I think Yamaha has their $h!t together now with those trannies...
I love the thought of the Raptor's power, soft suspension, and reverse... but I know Honda has something WICKED up their sleeves...
and you KNOW it will be dependable
