This past weekend i drove over to the closest kawasaki dealer near me and they had a kfx 400 sitting out. Me and my cousin was standing there comparing it to the raptor (the dealer is both kawasaki and yamaha) when the manager pulled up and said that if we wanted to see how any of the quads ran, to go see him. I was like ok let's go ask him to let us see the 400 run. He went and got his mechanic to ride it after letting the 400 warm up. His mechanic rode wheelies on all 5 gears going down the road! It was pretty awesome. My question is does the kfx have the same axle problems the z does? Dirtwheels says they're the same except the different cowling (which i think looks better) and the front brakes didn't fade away like the z's does. Personally, I like the kfx better because I think the green looks much better. Thanks.

They are the same, but Suzuki supposedly fixed the axles, the first batch was heat treated wrong or something.

As far as i know they are exactly the same for all practical purposes. I saw one the other day(Kawasaki) and it had a suzuki sticker on the frame. Also i like the green alot, but the white suzuki is sharp too.
Fish or cut bait? I'd take the green.

KFX400 and Z400 are the same.....only thing different is the KFX comes in green, has the black nose piece, and has green shocks.....thhats all. :D
