I'm picking up my new Z-400 this saturday and was wondering what to look for as far as problem area on them. I had heard that they like to warp the rear brake rotor but I'm wondering under what kind of riding conditions have you folks ran into that problem? Also, is there anything I should really checkout on the bike before I sign my life away? Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forums... if its a new machine u shouldnt have realy any problems uness u beat it like burger meat [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]... i do not have a z but im sure the rotors start talking to u when they get wet... but thats just a guess.... let us know how the new ride goes

 

Scott,You'll want to keep an eye on the chain for the first few hours,I had to adjust mine twice in the 1st
5hrs.also check your tire pres.and lug nuts.The hardest thing is getting off,once you start riding! have
fun.

iv'e had mine for some time now, and had no problems. the rotor will make noise when it gets dirt and water in it. check the spocket to make sure it straight. take care of it and it will take care you. your going to love it!!!!

 

Nice Choice!! Now give it a week of break in time and you will notice the power increase.

Have fun and ride SAFE!!!

 

The four front corners of the fram after you break it in and take it for a couple good rides look at this part of the bike. I now three people in person that has cracked there frame and one that the front end fell off so keep a good eye on it the will replace the frame within 4-5 weeks but thats alot of time no t ride.
