z400 stock

 

your probably have more skills

 

Boy, you have a real problem!! Your bike is to fast!! Stuff a large rag in your airbox, that should help.

Seriously, if you trade off bikes, do you still win???? That would tell you if it is really the bike or you.

 

Are you beating the piped Z, or just stock Z's? If you're beating someone with a piped Z, they need some practice, or better tuning, or both.

 

What's your fighting weight? That could explain some math here. Y Zee is faster than Z.

 

Could just be that you got a Factory Freak so to speak!! Happens in automobile engines every so often what happens is in the machining process of the motor maybe some how or another your motor got ported bigger or something like that it doesn't have to be that much of a difference really to make one motor stand out over the rest...now on the down side of that were this may have helped you there may be some people out there with a motor that is ported a little too small there for not making enough power. Quick little example I've experienced....I drag race my 1999 Camaro Z28 and a buddy of mine has a 2001 TransAm WS6 Ram Air...both have automatics both at this time were bone dry stock my car ran 13.3 @ 105mph and his ran 13.3 @ 104.8mph...difference is his car is SUPPOSE to have 30 more HP than my car but yet they are running identical ET's...Sorry for the long post but that just my 2 cents sometimes you just get a better motor! LOL Then again it could just be that your a better rider!!!

 

yea we swtiched quads,mine just revs quicker and pulls a lil harderon top end. and yes as i said b4 sum of the other z's had slight mods

 

Did you break it in Hard (the way you are going to ride) it or by the book?

 

i broke it in hard unlike my friends they babied theres

 

There was a reputable website out there that said to break anything in hard, and dont baby it. Dont member the site, maybe some one does.


I always kinda had a thought that breaking it in babyish wasnt right..
