Well, alright. I don't know what to say, I really don't. I was bought a 2005 Z400 brand new last September. I rode it like a girl, way too slow and Matt, (05greenmachine) was doing a rebuild on his quad, so I figured I would to. So I sold my dirtbike and my mom put wayyyy too much money that she shouldn't have given me to make my rebuild happy.

All the work was done by Matt Baumen, and if you guys don't know already, he is an AMAZING mechanic. He did everything perfect. I'm just confused because it seems like I am totally loosing interest in riding all together. I'm looking to step out of riding completely and start funding a car. Every dime I make I put into this quad and I keep doing it, it's addicting! :lol

Now i'm just confused and I guess you could say i'm "testing waters". This quad is race ready. It is extrememly fast. Oil changed 3 times already. Break-in is completed. The vavles have been checked 3 times already and guess what, IT HASN'T GONE OUT OF SPEC! Not even once. It was washed after every ride and oil was changed too much. :lol Airfilter cleaned constantly. The quad is SO fast it's incredible. It rides very nice and sits low but not too low for trails, well nice open somewhat easy trails. It's an MX quad, thats for sure.

Matt did so much for me making this quad happen. My personality never lets me be happy with what I have, so with THIS QUAD, this incredible quad, if I can't be totally 100% happy with, I just have to step it up and walk away. It's not necessarily what I want to do, but I'm going to anyway.

Just want to say some thanks to Matt mainly, my mom for funding it, friends for helping build it. The buyer will be one lucky man, that's for sure.

Parting Out? No. It's out of the question, I don't care how much more I will get for it. My mom doesn't want to deal with the post office everyday, taking it apart, shipping, boxing, it's a hassle. Everyone knows that. If you guys don't want it whole, I'll keep it. I'm not loosing ANYTHING, just letting a buyer gain.

Well I pretty much just wrote how I feel about this, I don't know if it's depressing, but it is to me.

I don't know what else to say, this is so difficult to type. The only problem I could possibly think of is that the front shocks might need a rebuild, but Matt adjusted them and make them stiffer, and they are like night and day better. They feel truley amazing while riding, but when you compress them up and down they sound a little worn. Maybe they just need to be serviced. I can't even think. :smile:

I really hope this thread isn't deleting because I can't think of a price. I'm going to say B.O. in use of BEST OFFER. I will negociate. Prices are just so the thread stays alive.

It's sold as is, very amazing quad.

I'm going to say 6,600 O.B.O.

That is negoicable through PM's!

It must be picked up, or VERY close to me. I"m not driving very far to give away my baby and pride. lol

So in other words your mother dumped all this money into it for you and now you've decided you want something else.....? I think you need to suck it up, keep it, and appreciate what youve got.
