i just hope it does not foul a plug a lot and they should not. the only time my 400ex fouls a plug is when it sits a long time, like a month or more with out being started. i am not worried about that about the spark plug. i would like to see the R with a hood scoop.

about the review is was about the same as the other, not a whole lot of new information. just the same stuff we already knew.

Its nice to see another sites opionion even if it is the same as some other peoples that just confirms that the R is as good as I hoped it would be! Plus we also get to see a couple of new pics of the quad in action.

Crank, but it will come out to about mid to high 30's at the wheels, going to be fun!:eek2:

The difference you see between 47hp and 48hp is because 13% of 42 = 5.46 so people rounded the figure up and others down but to get all exact with it it would be 47.46hp but that just sounds stupid.

oh, I would guess around 35-38.... assuming its gonna loose around 10hp getting the power to the tires. (tranny/chain)

Stock 400ex is 28 hp and the z400 is 31hp. Is that at the wheels or not I have no idea.

That has to be at the wheels, as the YFZ puts out about 41.5 at the wheels and the 400EX about 28hp at the wheels and the Z400, 31hp at the wheels. I'm glad to finally see some #'s. Should start seeing them out before too long here.
