400ex or Z400?

[undertaker]

I need some help! Which quad should I get? I will be doing alot of woods riding with some MX. I don't want to wrench that much. I have been through the high dollar high, maintenance thing with PWC racing for the last 10 years and I am tired of it! I want a quad that is reliable but also has some balls! What should I get........ 400ex or Z400 :confused:

Thanks

this has been posted a million times and you would most likely find your answer better and faster there.

i think it would be up to looks and brand preferance to me. the z is a little faster but basicly has the same frame as the honda and good handling. the honda has been proven to be a good reliable machine but i havnt heard of that many z problems lately except that the frame is a little week in spots. there both good machines though.

[trailburner]

there both very good quads, I quess it really depends on how much $ you are planing on spending,you can pick up a 400ex cheaper,because they came out in 99, I myself would get the 400ex[I just love hondas]& I think they look better!!

[Chanman420q]

id rather get a Z but there ABOUT equal. Get whats better in ur price range, u will be happy with both

He about summed it up.

I ride both and love my honda buttttt the z is better. Better engine,more power, reves higher, better shocks, runs way cooler.
Get the Z..........sorry guys but it's true

[VooDuu Child]

I've got two Z's, both of which were purchased in the first week they were released with zero problems. I've heard people with axles that have bent, but in most cases, was replaced under warrantee. This issue though should be solved as they started using different axles. The ex is a great machine and they are real cheap right now cause of the Z and other new high performance sport machines. But mod for mod, the Z makes more power due to having dual overhead cams and water cooling as opposed to sohc and air cooling. Both are worthy machines to own in my opinion. (I say go get a Z) :D

Z. I had an EX. Great quad. Some times change and things get better. I would take the Z over the EX if it was made by Kasea. Thanks God it isnt.

[Glow Plug]

i would go with the ex just because of the reliablity the suzuki has been plagded with problems from the start frist the axles then the frames the ex has a better realablity record and they are going alot cheeper that they were so with the extra 500- 1000 bucks there you go some mod's for you

If your getting a new quad get a Z or kfx

[spincr4hire]

had an EX, sold it to get a Z...

[MSL]

I wouldnt sell my 400 ex for a z, but if i didnt have a quad yet and was buying new it would be the kfx

[undertaker]

Thanks for all the info on the EX and the Z! Now someone has told me that the Predator is the one to get! What do you guys think?
Thanks
Your Friendly Undertaker.:devil

[freakystone]

Yeah the Predator is interesting... The "Polaris" badge scares me a bit though. I heard it was fast. I think they missed the boat though. THey should have made it a 440 with reverse and about 375 to 380 lbs.

[Chanman420q]

well with the preditor reliablilite my the engine is a big :confused: We know the EX is reliable and we know the Z's engine is because its based on the birtbike engine. Id wait another year or 2, to find out if they have any problems

[tants]

buy a modded 440ex...:confused:

[Sparks425Ex]

Buy an Already modded 400Ex. Ya can't go wrong with a Honda.

[01TRX300EX]

I would say Z, it just seems to be better than the EX.

[ridesa02400EX]

ive heard that the z frames crack real easy and ive also heard that their axles bend really easy

So does your mom...



:D just kidding.

[spincr4hire]

Don't buy a z, you'll crack the frame...don't buy a z, you'll bend the axle...don't run with scissors, you'll put your eye out....:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :devil
you kids on here know it all, don't you???

[raptor_02]

i see we have a UK fan on here. GO CATS!!!!!!!!! If u r going to race and plan on doing alot of motorwork to the quad I would say go with the Z. But if your just going to be a trail rider and not do much to the quad get the ex. It will last you forever with no problems. You can get more HP out of the Z and some suspension would keep the frame from breaking.
