Default Buying a Z400 or 400ex

most guys set there ds's up like the factory sent them out and they suck in the dunes that way, but my wife makes a good showing for them. but most people come over and say i've never seen one of those run like that. but i have friends with raptors that run great and then some run like dogs my son actually beat one with his honda, weight was the issue there. well we'll be at sandfest the racing is cool but the real fun is everyone riding together and findin the cool trails. what about wheelies, you'll like seeing us on that my wife is starting to get to where she can bring the front up pretty high and often she will fall off, then her ds will fall down and take off across the dunes.

lol that would be a funny sight to see. Speaking of wives and moms, my mom went with us this last weekend and the last day rolled her warrior on top of her and shes 5'1 about 95 lbs and she couldnt get that heavy beast off her. It was great, still laughin at her bruises today. Now me on the other hand if my dads Z would go in a straight line i could ride a wheely on that thing forever just balancing in 2nd but it turns so dam hard to the right you almost go in circles, it's weird. What bout you ... you a good wheely rider? by the way, my family and friends will be a dune/sand fest this year also.

i think it is the chain on the ds i've checked air pressure a lot so i know that isn't the cause.

ya we do that too and get them each perfect and it still does it. maybe axle alignment is off ? my dads haulers are uneven too but i dont knw if that would have anything to do with it

i've started to try shiftin my weight to the other side and it helps some and if you ride them long enough you can turn your tires the way you need to go
