400ex vs. blaster

[zje400ex]

i have a 2005 400ex and my dad wants to buy a blaster. we have a 1/2 track in our field and wanting 2 know how much more my 400ex would kill it on the track. or if it can hang w/ it.

i'd like 2 know how much better the suspension is on mine and whatever else.

looks to me with those few mods on your 4 hundy and if the blaster is stock you would walk away from the blaster no problem but putting a couple hundred bucks for the blaster, it would keep up with you. but its not all just the bike to, its also the rider.

like he said stock blaster vs what you have on your 400 you will walk away like he is standing still. also with some mods to the blaster on the track he will hang with you but in a straight line with stock gears in the blaster you will beat him

he found a blaster around here and it has alot of extras. it has a pipe and jets and other stuff. he's a really good rider...way better than me. he owned "back in the day" yz490's and yz250's. he can hang with me on my brothers rm80 (now a rm100) with alot of mods.

It doesnt take much for a blaster to out run a 400ex with a good rider. I was swapping it up with my buddies z400 and all I had was lt250r shocks up front and lt250r hubs and tires in the rear. I slid around the turns and got underneath him but he would catch me and pass me going into the next turn and I would get under him and pass coming out. The z400 tipped alot.

if hes a better rider than you, he will be right behind you if not infront of you. those 400s dont have all that much power.

The 400ex will walk away from a stock blaster.. theres no why a modded blaster can out run a modded (power for power) 400ex. The only way is a better rider, if the blaster has like a 6mm stroker... or something like that.

I guess it all depends on the track, if its tight you could have some problems. On a tight track its more technique than power. Thats what we have at our house, we have one long straight but that has a set of three single jumps to slow everyone down. When my Mojave was in top shape with all the mods. Big Gun Race, K&N Filter, Maxxis RaZr's, +2 A-Arms, and my suspension revalved to me. I ran laps around him, he had the one in my sig. Now with those new tires its alot better.

all rider but the blaster does need a pipe to realy wake it up

Ive owned both bikes. Right now i have the 400. My blaster, I had a FMF fatty pipe w/ LRD pro2 silencer. also jetting. The 400 has an aftermarket airfilter, and removed baffle. Personally, The 400 handles better, accelerates better, and has a decent top speed, it only lacks on top end. Dont get me wrong, i loved my blaster, but it isnt as fast. now throw a 240 kit on and better shox, a-arms, and axle, and the 400 wouldnt stand a chance without exhaust and 416 kit.

But stock for stock, maybe a few mods, the 400 IS faster.

Whoever thinks the blaster shouldnt have been replace with a 4-stroke is awesome! Im actually thinkin bout a banshee already
