doing things like donuts???
braking slides???
fast power-slides on long, wide curves???
dipping into turns, and powering out of them like on MX tracks???
some of the above???
all of the above???

I'm 5'-10" 200lbs.

Fast woods riding is the only time I really noticed it, but when I added 1 1/2" per side wheel spacers on the rear I noticed a big improvement everywhere.

I notice it when Michael AZ was getting it up on two wheels in every corner. Just before it ends up on top of him

Well for me (265 lbs) .....all the time. I really hated the way my raptor handled......got it when they first came out and the aftermarket had not really kick in yet. I called Lonestar for some goodies and the wait was going too be to long.....sold it 1 month after buying.

just my .02

Anytime you ride it with the stock Dunlop radials.

After changing the tires, I never notice it...

I added a Durablue Eliminator 2+2 and it slides instead of tipping. I may flip the front wheels to catch up with my newly added width in the rear.

back off the gas in a turn, and it may just try to ride you!

get rid of the dunlop radials, problem solved.

have heard this 'soapy rear end' complaint from a couple of z400 riders as well.

I second Michaelaz's thoughts.
