2003 Suzuki LTZ400 Build Part 1

This is more of the mechanical side so i can get it to rideable position. Ill include some links to the parts i purchased in this video. As of this point I'm $2196 into this machine with the cost of the ATV, the parts and fuel costs picking it up. IT would have been much more if I didn't have parts for this machine. Thanks for watching!
The front Tires Were $94 - ebay.us/bLCbu2
The Seat Cover Was $70 Plus Shipping although I would have gone with Thrillseekers if I knew they made covers for these - amzn.to/3sZB0QP
The Grab Bar from ATVDAVE on Ebay $120 W Shipping - ebay.us/Ri6CvU
The rest of the parts were either purchased used or from RockymountainATVMC.com

I traded for a 2003 Suzuki ltz400 with a big bore kit bored to a 440,aftermarket suspension,hot rods crank and piston,things a monster. Mine is white also and has the boring aluminum nerf bars think I’ll just paint them black and I have some basic stuff ordered like rear brakes,good luck with the build I hope it turns out awesome!!

[@TheATVHustle]

Thanks! Part 2 is up, I plan to do a few more things this summer just waiting to find a place for powder and something to ride while this is down.

[@shanelanham1643]

@@TheATVHustle I just watched part 2,glad to see how awesome it looks now,my head light was busted and push bar it all bent up so I have a few other things to buy hope to get it looking better by the spring,I’m ready to ride!!

[@shanelanham1643]

My brakes are out for delivery today,so may get them out on today and go for a spin,be glad when this cold weather is over so I can ride it more have only rode it 3 times since I got it. Slowly but surely I can get it looking the way I want it it was also missing the chain guard cover on the front sprocket,only ones I found on eBay were like $60 used but I wasn’t paying that lol,keep the videos coming man love the content,helps me with my ltz400!!

[@TheATVHustle]

Thanks! The drw one is better and I think only $50, you can search for it as a dvx400 or kfx400 and possibly find a better deal. I’m waiting on warmer weather as well to shoot some more riding content.

Where is the best place to get parts for 2004 Kawasaki KFX 400

[@TheATVHustle]

Ebay is the best bet, not a lot of places are selling it anymore. If you search for LTZ400 you can usually find more available.

[@jaredhowell7536]

Loved the video I’ve been wanting to build my 400ex for a while and just now getting some of the parts for it and this video is just getting me more excited lol. Keep up the good work

[@TheATVHustle]

The 400ex is a ton of fun! I have a few more parts I’m waiting on for part 2 to hopefully inspire you to finish yours as well!

[@shanelove4841]

And I need a set of plastics bad for mine I wish I had some

[@TheATVHustle]

Facebook marketplace always has a few good finds. If you near Oklahoma City I’m pretty sure rush powersports has a set.

[@josephpacheco7508]

If you don't mind me asking, what did you give for the project bike? What did your parts bike cost you? I just picked up a 2004 for my wife and an anniversary gift and she and I are doing to build it up together. We have a fleet of honda atc/trx250r's but she doesn't have enough lead in her pockets to always be kick starting in the dunes so she is going to get a luxury ride now.

[@TheATVHustle]

I’m about 3k deep into it now. I bought the original project for $1000, I bought a bunch of machines for parts and sold a lot from them that turned a profit so I didn’t count them. This one has a ton more issues than I anticipated. The build part 2 is on hold right now while I wait for a gasket.

@@TheATVHustle nice work man! My clutch will be here today and I've already got all the fluids and filters so I'll soak the clutch tonight and should have the one I picked up 3 days ago ready for the weekend.

[@frt33twn]

Do you have an extra axle ? Mine is currently bent. Or good website I can purchase. I 03 Suzuki 400

[@TheATVHustle]

I do, this is from a KFX400 but is the same as the LTZ. This axle was pulled from a machine with not a whole lot of hours. www.ebay.com/itm/185657718643

[@frt33twn]

@@TheATVHustle I’ll take a carrier with seated bearings if you have it also

[@TheATVHustle]

I do, be sure to check if yours still has the 03-style carrier. My LTZ is an 03 but i have the 05+ style carrier. If you have the single bolt its 05+ and the double bolt it is the previous years. www.ebay.com/itm/185652522593

[@frt33twn]

@@TheATVHustle yeah old Style carrier with two adjustable bolts for tension. I just purchased the axle which should inter connect thou with 03 LTZ400
