My dad bought me a used '01 400EX, maybe 2 or 3 years ago. I've been riding ever since I was little and he just knew I always wanted to know what is like to ride/have a racing type. Ever since, I have rode the hell out of it and during the summer, I'd probably put 4 hours on it Monday-Friday. So, apparently, I like it.

Well some of us grew out of trikes once we got old enough to quit peddling our toys :laugh: Seriously though I would love to have a Tri-Z and have come across a few decent kept up ones that were reasonable for what they were wanting but its just hard to get parts for em around here anymore :mad:

Dont Pass them up.....The Z is Highly UNDER RATED!!!! You can still go down to your local Yamaha Shop and Buy parts over the counter,,,,Lots of Quad Parts, Dirt Bike Parts Work on them if you know what to look for(Just ask me when the time comes:wink:) Ive owned 250Rs when they were new (Yes,,,,Im a GEEZER!!) and I have owned the Z's (Several) I still have one left....I Could have a 250R if I want...But I would rather have the Z...Not too many people have one....Kinda a KEWL factor for me

I always here you saying that, false sence security, I actually switched to quads to make my ride more technical. I've flipped and high sided my quad enough times to know because you have 4 wheels doesn't mean anything.

Dont hate it cause its a Beautiful thing and Beautiful People ride them:wink::biggrin::huh:

The both of you might be beautiful in the antique kind of way, but me and my quad got that modern day good looks going for us.

I checked with my dealer about six months ago when I was thinking of getting the last one that I came across and he told me that he couldn't get Genuine Yamaha parts for em anymore so are we talking about aftermarket parts?

As far as me being Man enough to ride anything with less than four wheels.....I have two dirtbikes so does that count?

Exactly what did he look up for you???? There is going to be parts that are not available, That is a given....But there are several parts that are still out there.....Some Banshee Or Blaster Parts interchange if you know what to look for.....Aftermarket is out there....OEM parts from Yamaha or Parts stores like Bikebandit or Partsphish are there......

No,,,,Two Wheels dont count.....Apples to Apples sort of thing....:laugh:

He didn't look anything up.....just said that he could get some aftermarket parts and not any Genuiine Yamaha parts from Yamaha for the Tri-Z.....I will check out Bikebandit and Partsphish and then see if the Tri-Z that I was looking as is still available....thanks for the info.

The two bikes I have I bought for the kids to ride when we hit the trails....TTR and CRF230's.....not what I would really call a dirbike but decent trail bikes but you do have to remember to put your feet down when you stop :laugh:

racing and riding is suchhh a great activity for families. it definitely has brought me and my honey closer...you really see people at their best and worst....

like that one time i tried my first hillclimb ever...yeah. not good. i hit a tree stump and flew off the side of the 400ex....

butttt at the last race their was a narly uphill climb and my honey stood there watching me (he'd already finished.) and i was scared to death as i watched four guys ahead of me get stuff and run off the track....but NOT ME...I POWERED THROUGHHHHHH:biggrin:I MADE IT:cheers2c::hurrayc:

SO. in a nut shell, again, that's why I own a sport quad. :wink:

      2008 Brute Force 650, clutch is slow to engage
      By Coyote251
      I'm trying to help a buddy out with his bike (he's not really on the internet or familiar with these forums) and I'll admit that I am not super familiar with the transmission and clutches in these bikes. I owned a Brute a few years ago, but never had an issue like this that I had to troubleshoot.
      So basically my buddy bought a group lot of 650's to build one good bike out of. He got it all put together and has it running but when he pushes on the throttle the clutch doesn't engage till the RPM's are quite high and even when its moving it doesn't really speed up, almost seems like its in "limp mode". He's tried 2 different transmissions so I don't think that's the problem. 
      Is there any adjustment on the clutch engagement? Anything else I can tell him to look at? Let me know if you need anymore information if you think you can help.

      Heavy Duty ATV Cover
      By Gwbarm
      Does anyone have a recommendation of a really Heavy Duty ATV cover. I have bought several and they do keep the water off somewhat, but they are very thin and do not contour with the shape very well and water pools up in the rack louvers. I think i may be looking for a heavy canvas one, if anyone has a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.

      ATV Snow Plow Review, Best ATV & UTV Snow Plows
      By Ajmboy
      So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
      This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.
