I out ran a kazuma falcon 110 with my daughters e-ton 90 two stroke. The other week my friend came over with another buddy of his and we went riding during the ride the buddy was talking how he could keep up with me and thought his 07 Honda 400 or 4 something 2wd utility quad was as fast as my prairie 650. I hurt his feelings did I not only out run him I also climb a few hills in 2wd he couldn't make it 1/2 way up. His is one of those sideways motor shaft drive Hondas. Then I took down my friends grizz 600

it was prolly a 420..... a friend of mine has one he thought it would beat my 400ex lol:laugh:

I have a ? too. If say I was able to purchase a new atv say a 450 i dont know Yamy, Honduh, Kiwi, Ding Dong Motors whatever. Would I be so amazed by the power difference? I have never ridden anything bigger than 400cc but I read alot of people who step up to a 450 blow the doors (nerf bars?) off of other quads. Is that just fish stories and bench racing or what?

I have driven 500cc and up 4x4s but thats not what im asking. Im only referring to sport quads

ya but it all depends on the mods and stuff..... i have never owned a 450 but i have drove them and those arent just tall tales u r hearin....... the yfz to me wasnt short of power but not my style...... the trx 450 i drove is the fastest 450 ive ever been on..... but never underestimate a 400ex because of size and all they r a one of a kind

450s have a very good reputation as far as power goes!!:yes:

Haha. Speed shifting. No clutch is so much faster it's unreal. Just don't downshift without the clutch.

I grew up on a yammy semi manual shifter. So when im not paying attention I upshift or downshift without the clutch on my 400EX. The owners manual says major damage will result but I havent noticed it yet

:confused:

Nice Does the Z440 kit have the same overheating problem the ex 440 kits ?:confused:

Yes and no. The way i look at it is when you re-machine a factory engine, carb jetting etc. you will have inequalities from the origional factory (stock) expectations. So every time i either mod and engine for myself or somebody else i always explain to them that there will be changes (not problems). Basically yes there are overheating problems on the 440s too, but thats only if you ride a z440 like it is a z400. 2 completely different bikes now.

I would think the Z would be better since the EX is aircooled !!

True, liquid cooled leaves more room for failure. The way i see it is stock bikes are perfect for exactly what they are made for, leisure, enjoying the sport, and just getting out and going. Once you are truly commited to modding that bike for performance there is no in between, all in or all out. that bike is then like no other and will have all unique issues.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.
