how much did that kit run you

[ZRider400]

i heard about it on z400central a few years ago...and called the guy.

maybe do a search on there.

it was like 50 bucks i think.

any spot from the motor foward is weak,ive bent and/or broke 2 frames in that area

(may i add they were hard wrecks)

What year is the KFX?

The I believe the '04s frames were upgraded some, and then the '05s were upgraded further

I have broke my frame 2 now on my z and both have been right behind where the a arm mounts to the frame i have hit trees with the tire and it just pushes the frame togeather.

It's www.bareperformance.com
:D ;)

its ok but if you know how to weld than you can pick up the kit for 50$ but bareperformance is like 400$ to get your bike gusseted and Powder coated its a good deal and the got two new colors and there trick as hell.

At first they had some problems but I think they cleared up all of the defects.

This is not true... They claimed to have beefed up the welds on the later models (04, 05), but I have seen plenty of 04's with rusting/cracking around the top shock mount. Most people who have 05's haven't had theirs long enough for them to crack yet.

I have an 05' and it has already been ripped apart and is being gussetted & powder coated right now. I do not have a lot of money & I am not going to MX my quad but I still thought it was a good idea. All I know is that I will NOT be in here in about six months complaining of a broken frame. although not being able to ride a quad you just bought kind of sucks too!
