Not sure...he just said I had a surprise waiting for me and gave me the info and directions to go get them. Im figuring the Z400 is for the wife and the LTR is for me. I dont think the ol'lady wants a quad without reverse:o

So if that yfz is just gonna be sitting in your garage because of the new quads, you might as well let me store it in my shop. Think about it. Free storage. Heck, I'd even drive out there to go get it.
Pappy
05-24-2006, 09:04 PM
ahh screw him:p i think he did it because he knows im not a huge suki fan:p
i kept telling him...a rhino is what i need...a rhino would be cool...a rhino would suit me now seeing i got health problems...a rhino can carry more deer then a ute....a rhino will fit in my garage...elka makes shocks for the rhino....pro armor makes stuff for a rhino...
i geuss he did it to spite me:D

Plus with a Rhino, it would be easier with health problems, and you could still race it. But I would be happy either way... This is what I would look like if I was you---:D

Give me the LTZ and the Z and give you my 2006 Rhino 660 wait I dont have a Rhino.
Just sell both of them and buy a Rhino and still have money left over:D
thats awsome pappy, congrats
I have a good idea for pappy, you should auction off the LT-R and Z400 on here once the testing is done with the lt-r... u could gather up some mula $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

On a serious note, Kenny is not "Lucky" to get this. He has put in endless amounts of time for the last 4 years working for this site. Being a mod carries the same stress just as any job you could think of.
So considering the amount of time he has put in. He has earned anything he has recieved.
As for all the other quads he owns and has owned. im sure he has worked just as hard, even harder, to get to the point of affording all of these machines.

Cody really likes the LTR. Power is smooth and predictable, and the wide stance works well
Pappy

If id have let him...I think he would have started ripping up his track
Pappy
05-26-2006, 03:51 PM
I believe the YFZ will be for sale......:chinese:
Pappy
05-26-2006, 03:53 PM
He said the Z400 was ok...the seat was too slippery and power sure wasnt what the 450's deliver:p
Pappy
05-26-2006, 03:55 PM
I think I will do what I can to snag him a LTR. All he asked was that we move the bars back and he felt he could ride it well.
Pappy
05-26-2006, 03:56 PM
The yfz is quick...and fun, but I dont think it feels as good out of the box as the LTR. I will wait for alot more seat time to level any type of opinions, but seeing the yfz has such a bad bog it has strikes against it in my book, all things being 100% bone stock etc.
Pappy
05-26-2006, 04:29 PM

Pappy
05-26-2006, 05:37 PM
It was kind of weird....
Other then a ute, she hasnt been on a sport quad since the haydays of the banshee:eek2:
Her opinions as a certified field rider...lol
1) She likes the LTR. Its smooth, handles nice but the rear likes to slide out.(Yep...there goes my grass:p )
2) The YFZ is FASSSSTTTTT:devil:
3) The Z400 felt like her 300ex:huh
4) If Harlen wants us to hang on to the LTR she will be sure to run it...alot
Pappy
05-26-2006, 05:39 PM
I let the quads get a good 20 minutes of nice varied riding before I decided to take the LTR for a spin.
Pappy
05-26-2006, 05:41 PM
Cody got a little closer then I had expected:p
Ok....some of my first impressions....
Its not a rocketship, but the power is mellow and usable. The throttle response is great, and not once did it act stupid if that makes sense.
Pappy
05-26-2006, 05:43 PM
I finally couldnt take it and hammered it coming out of a corner. It did everything i wanted it to do, infact i just pulled 2nd gear on my way to 3rd with some one finger clutch action. The clutch pull is light and smooth.
Pappy
05-26-2006, 05:47 PM
The quad is , well, predictable. Ive riden full aftermarket quads that should have been this easy to ride but werent. Not that its the end all and be all of what a quad should be....but I have to admit, I want one:p
The rear tires didnt do bad and hook up good in a straight line, and I honestly do not have any loose corners to see for myself, nor would I seeing I wanted to take it easy on this puppy until she is tested this week.
Pappy
05-26-2006, 05:49 PM
I wanted to see how fast she was on nice, steady pulls. She is decieving, fast but not arm ripping fast. I think the way suzuki set her up is pretty close for most riders that will try and keep everything stock.
And.....I also think that when narrowed up a bit it will be a fairly decent quad in the woods.
Pappy
05-26-2006, 05:52 PM
Brakes were good, on par with the YFZ and 450R. Infact....I almost ran over the pizza dude when he stepped out infront of me:p Thank god he did not drop my pizza:scary:
I look forward to riding one of these suckers again real soon. And I have more to say but I will save it for the upcoming shootout:chinese: and all out quad thrash session we have coming up.
ya.. I might have to sell my YFZ as well... a lt-r sounds really good right now!!
cant wait to see it tomorrow, what time are u leaving ur place 2morrow
Pappy
05-26-2006, 05:57 PM
I wont have the suki's with me this weekend, infact I will be leaving shortly to deliver them to my mechanic so he can go over them to check and recheck before the dyno and further testing.
Pappy
05-26-2006, 07:55 PM
I took the Z400 for a ride before we called it a night. I still cant figure out how Harlen does what he does on that quad in stock form.
It did however reinstill in me the fact that the Z400/400EX quad is still one of the best types to own, especially if your not worried about keeping up with the Jones's or all out racing where every bit of power is required. I commented to my brother and wife that I would enjoy having another 400cc sport quad simply because they are just so damn fun.
