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:

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:

ya its not good for them i have only not used the clutch twice and tht was because i was holdin on to something...... if u do it alot it will cause problems!!!!!!:yes:

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.

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      Hello I’m new here and was wondering is anyone knew of good replacement part numbers for front struts and rear shocks for this atv? I think I’ve found a new rear shock, that looks like the original but there is no dimensions or anything and was wondering if there are any afterMarket new front struts available. I know it’s a long shot but any help would be appreciated.

      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.

      Hey all,
      I need some input on a problem I'm having with my Kodiak 400 that keeps fouling plugs. First off, I've done a lot of work to this thing, most of it all in good fun. Brake work, cv joints, u joints, carb kit, checked valve lash, compression good, changed all fluids, etc... My problem is it keeps fouling plugs very quickly. I can put a new (manual recommended plug) in and it starts right up, runs great, idles great, picks up good. Doesn't stutter at all. I ride it for 1/2 a mile, it cuts off and won't start back up. I let it sit overnight thinking maybe it got to hot. Try to start it the next day, nothing. Put a new plug in, fires right up, runs great for another 1/2 mile or so, dead. The plugs come out and look carbon fouled with dry black soot on them. I don't know if this is a fuel/air mixture problem or a ignition problem. A couple of things that I noticed is I never need to pull the choke out to start it. Also, when it starts it automatically idles high like an automatic choke would do, then it comes back down to a good idle. Also I noticed that the air/fuel mixture needle valve screw does nothing when I adjust it in or out. I can screw it all the way closed and the motor still runs and idles good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost leaning to a ignition breaking down the plugs??
      Thanks!
