New addition to the family

[BlasterEaten250]

My dad got an '04 z400 yesterday. All I have to say is it's pretty sweet;)

[BlasterEaten250]

he wasn't sure if he was going to keep these rear tires at first, but they actually turned out to be very good trail tires. plus they hook up like crazy

[BlasterEaten250]

It has a moose bumper and grab bar, moose handguards, dg alloy nerfs, gbc mud shark tires on the back, itp rims (can anybody tell from the pictures what model they are?), and a full Big Gun evo limited exhaust

[BlasterEaten250]

I really like it, it's really fast and the ride is incredible. A nice thing is that the pipe is very quiet, I guess it's around 94 db's according to Big Gun

[BlasterEaten250]

And here is my new ride:D

[Mean250r]

nice bike man, the z400's are very nice

[BlasterEaten250]

anybody want a 250?:o

[TCracin440ex]

swap them klaws off the 400ex to the z400 and notice the world of difference those tires are HP robbers

[suzukigirl]

nice...z's are awesome

[07250ex]

awesome dude hows the 400ex compared to your 250 =p ive never ridden a 400ex but i have ridden an 06 z 400 i suggest you guys buy the shocks from 05 or up there much better then 04 and below

[BlasterEaten250]

Someday we will swap the tires around just to see what it's like, but my dad would rather sacrifice a little bit of power for traction. I have to admit I like the z better than the ex, but I'm still veeerrry happy with the 400ex. Aren't the '05 and up shocks on the z400 stiffer than the older ones? My dad is really just looking for comfort and these are working great so far

[BlasterEaten250]

By the way, I will be getting klaws for the front of my 400 shortly, probably along with some nerfs.

[07250ex]

no the new z shocks are good for me at 110 pounds im sure at 180ish prolly for your dad theyd be even softer

i can answer that since my brother is in bed right now. by performance im guessing that you're talking about power.. the two are actually very different. im not exactly sure what a completely stock z feels like, but with a full system it absolutely rips for a 400cc machine. i dont think my 416 (which is a very mild 416) would even hold a candle to it in a straight line. the z is much smoother under full throttle acceleration, so it is kinda hard to realize how fast you're actually going. the ex's accelerate more "violently." i mean they vibrate a lot more, have a beefier low end, and it just seems very raw and unrefined compared to the suzuki. i like it that way. the only place my 416 with absolutely kill it is in low revs. the z is just much more powerful than my brothers new 400ex, but he hasnt had time to mess with it yet. :o sorry its so long.

[07250ex]

yeh i like violent power to thats why i ride a 250ex :devil: lmao jk i do like rough power though, i rode my buddies 06 z400 completly stock accept k&n filter outwares with lid on no rejetting, ill say a few things it sounded weird, it felt weird, i thought it vibrated pretty good i mean it was quick but i didn't like the type of quick it was or how the power came on

[BlasterEaten250]

Yeah, the way the power comes on is definately different than anything else I have ridden. Low end isn't all that great, but mid range and top end it just screams compared to the ex's. My dad absolutely loves it though, having arthritis he got beat up a lot more on the 400ex than he does on the z. He said he barely feels bumps or drop off's anymore.

[Ruby Soho]

nice dude!

also the rims are probly the t-9 pro series

Well let's see it:blah:

[BlasterEaten250]

Here it is

[miller821]

Pipe that baby:macho

[BlasterEaten250]

Mine does sound pretty girly compared to my dads and brothers lol. When I do get a pipe it will be a quieter one though, I ride a lot around mine and my friends yard and I don't want to cause any trouble. I think I'm gonna order some DG alloy nerfs too.
