Re: 400ex or z400(kfx)

the only thing about ex is no reverse i hate being stuck in the woods picking the quad up and down when you have to turn around while my frends just turn a switch. i dont think i can afford the 07' it is a nice machine though i dont know logical it would be to buy a new bike and just run the thing in to the ground because thats what i plan to do. they say buy honda and you can beat on it all day.

Re: 400ex or z400(kfx)

I use to work at a honda/kawi dealer and the kfx is just a bulletproof as the honda +it has more power,+ it has reverse. The honda is nice but it doesnt really have a whole lot of character to it if you know what I mean. Its kinda boring compared to the kfx/ltz

Re: 400ex or z400(kfx)

Re: 400ex or z400(kfx)

of course your is more sensative compared to a 400ex.......almost every quad that has any power is, but as far as reliablity your buddy just got a in a million thats got a couple problem cause most the time they are bomb proof. I submitted warrenty claims for both for several years and I assure you that both are = as far as relaible goes.

i know the z's and stuff were having problems with the frames cracking so just beware of that. My friend has a 04 and the frame cracked completely
