05/06

^^^^^what he said 05/06

[HondaRider250]

'05/'05 definitely. buy evans coolant or an aluminum clutch cover & water pump cover before riding.

[Rosko]

'05 and ditch the clutch cover for an aluminum one asap.

I heard they went back to the '04 cams in '06 and are using a bsr36mm carb instead of the 37mm on the '05 but I cant say thats from a reliable source.

i found brand new 95 for 4999, i am thinking about it. What is wrong with the clutch cover/ water pump cover, does it not flow enough to cool the motor down?

[TrapZ400]

The coolant corrodes the cover

[440exking]

The 05 400ex is faster than a 04 Z.

[MoToX199]

tell me how why do you say that? the 05 400ex are alot slower then the previous models,abd if the previous models before couldnt beat a z then how could they now? i hate when people come on here and dont get there **** striaght

To my knowledge 05/06 are the exact same in the engine/frame/suspension/plastic/nuts+bolts/wheels+tires Etc. Everything EXCEPT the Stickers and seat color(on the yellow)

my friends 05 ex is faster than my other friends 04 z, but he realized suz-uki's suck so he got a 250R.

[Tri-valleyracin]

i didnt know suzukis suck hmm that must be new. i gess some could be beet on and not taken care of and there for any quad like that would suck but i know for a fact that my dads z400 could keep up to a 450r. i seen it. i just dont know the motor mods but it ant stock. as for all running and driving z400's they all can make a 400ex look like a blaster compared to top speed.

[IrideMHSC]

I really like my 03 z-400 Ive had two 03s now and both have outlasted many of my friends quads from Honda, Yamaha, Cannondale/ATK, and many other brands... These suzuki quads are super reliable and I think are some of the toughest out there.... Im sure there are lemons but that dosent mean the whole bunch is rotten by any means

my friend's brother's uncle's----whatever! you had to make your 400 a 440 just to keep up with a Z--dont hate us cause you aint us!:blah:

[450rJam]

I may have to call bs on a z400 even with mods keeping up with a 450r unless there where some really unfavorable odds on it, where they racing in reverse ? that would make the z400 alot faster.

[TheZis2Fst4U]

"440exking" your full of it. I have yet to see a ex even compare to the z. And as for the Z keeping up to a 450r, It definatley depends on skill. I don't care if you have a 500 stroker, if you can't ride you WILL be beat.
