All the plastic mounts are different and the 03-08' models do not have fi , so you'd have to figure out how to mount it. There are very few 09-10's out there. Your going to be hard pressed to find a used frame.

If you have insurance on it, I advise you to use it. They will ,"total loss" it. In otherwords, its going to ebay!

There's a guy on Z400central parting out an 09 in the for sale section. Id get the link but this computer wont let me access z400central.

i did no crash the quad, 2 of my friends collided into each other, one was doing a wheelie, and the other was hitting a jump and they were heading towards each other


stupid mistake, i have been helping them piece back there quads


the 2009 ltz400 is hard to get parts for without spending a fortune

well i'm no expert on the 09 model but it does share many parts with the previous Z models....i'll bet the subframe is the very close and the main frame is also...might want to consider getting an older frame and just changing the mounts as needed on it...lot cheaper that 1500.00 + tax..ouch...i've seen complete frames sell for 350.00..and you could even put in a gusset kit while your at it and strengthen the frame....bare performance makes a good gusset kit...but your right...finding a lot of parts for the 09-10 models is tough because of the crappy economy our country is in right now and people just aren't buying new quads like they used to in the past...hence less demand for aftermarket parts and used parts......:( good luck sir
