Overview

 

One ride on a QuadSport Z400 and you'll understand what heart-pounding performance is all about. The QuadSport Z400 is engineered to be the best all-around sport machine for any terrain - from woods to sand to the track. Boasting industry-leading technology, the QuadSport Z400 sets the standard for high-performance sport four-wheelers.

Go ahead - take aim and turn it loose. The QuadSport Z400's hard-hitting and high-revving powerplant lets you blast out of corners and rewards you with awesome acceleration on the straight-aways. And talk about maneuverability! Its lightweight design makes it incredibly agile, while its state-of-the-art chassis and long-travel suspension smooth out the gnarliest terrain.


Engine
  • Compact & lightweight 398cc 4-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with counter- balancer based on the proven DR-Z400E design - tuned for tractable power over a wide rpm range
  • Cylinder head features large 36mm intake and 29mm exhaust valves, plus a narrow 28º included valve angle creating a more compact combustion chamber, with high compression ratio and a straight intake tract for improved torque. Cams are direct acting-type with shim-under-bucket valve adjustment
  • Forged aluminum alloy piston and SCEM-plated aluminum cylinder are lightweight and durable. SCEM plating reduces cylinder weight (no iron sleeve) and improves cooling efficiency
  • Large 37mm carburetor with throttle position sensor - ignition timing is determined by throttle opening for improved engine response, especially at high rpm
  • Liquid-cooling system with high-capacity radiator and thermostatically-controlled cooling fan provides consistent engine operating temperature
  • Dry-sump lubrication system allows a compact crankcase and minimal engine height for optimum engine placement - oil tank is frame-mounted in front of the exhaust head pipes
  • Five-speed transmission with cable-operated clutch includes an easy-to-use reverse gear system - just turn the fender-mounted knob and shift from neutral to reverse using the gear shift lever
  • Aluminum gear shift lever for lighter gearshift feel and reduced weight
  • Convenient electric start system includes Start-In-Gear feature - electric start system and CDI ignition are powered by compact maintenance-free battery
  • Magnesium valve cover, clutch cover and ignition cover for improved engine appearance and reduced weight

Chassis/Suspension
  • Aggressive-styled bodywork with high fenders and air intake vents to enhance sport style and improve airflow to radiator - large T-shaped seat provides high comfort and maneuverability
  • Dual 30/30W, vertically-mounted halogen headlights provide a bold look and bright illumination - large 5/21W taillight/brake light combination is standard
  • Lightweight, high tensile steel-alloy frame and removable steel sub-frame, plus aluminum swingarm
  • Long-travel, independent double A-arm front suspension with fully-adjustable, piggyback reservoir-style shock absorbers - provides 8.5 inches of wheel travel for a comfortable ride over all types of terrain
  • Linkage-type rear suspension features fully adjustable, piggyback reservoir-style shock absorber with 9.1 inches of wheel travel, plus 8.5 inches of ground clearance
  • Large 6.9 inch dual front disc brakes and single 8.6 inch rear disc brake - all with single-piston pin-slide calipers
  • Lightweight aluminum alloy wheels (F: 10.0 x 5.5, R: 9.0 x 8.0), and radial tires (F: 22 x 7-10, R: 20x10-9), for reduced unsprung weight
  • Aluminum front bumper and aluminum rear grab bar for improved appearance and reduced weight
  • Heavy-duty front bumper and high-impact resistant polyethylene skid plate
  • Wide serrated-type footpegs for high grip and comfort
  • Large 2.6-gallon fuel tank with two mounting points for quick removal and simplified maintenance
