Five Reasons to Buy a 1st Gen Suzuki LTZ 400

[@TheSnowWolf1000]

Ive had my ltz for 10 years now. Ive bought and lost 3 different bikes the whole time ive owned it and im just so glad i held onto it because the reverse alone is what makes this bike unbeatable by any other. i remember when i was out riding one day and i nearly rode off a cliff if it weren't for that reverse gear i would have gone over.

[@oshkomontes7594]

I still have my 2007 LTZ 400. Still looks great!

[@FunGoingFast]

Nice!

I had a 2006 Arctic Cat DVX 400 I bought new. Sold it to get into side-by-sides. Recently got the itch to find another LTZ/KFX/DVX and am stunned to see they are still getting the same price now as they did when I sold my DVX over 10 years ago. Most are in the $3000 - $4000 range even though some are now 20 years old. Amazing.

Best bikes ever. Sad they stopped making sport quads.

[@FunGoingFast]

Agreed.

[@21617dale]

I have a 03

[@cadman9615]

I just picked up a mint 2006 that was titled. I am stoked. I re-jetted the carb to enrich it & I must say it totally rips! It is def a lot of fun. It really is a great quad. Sad they stopped production of them

[@FunGoingFast]

Nice! Enjoy. They are a lot of fun.

[@nateswiss]

Great video. Love how it’s short and to the point.

[@FunGoingFast]

Thanks!

[@CarlosLopez-gj3pe]

Just bought one days ago and already like it....I also have a wolverine 450 just like that one in your video...man I love that thing specifically when I get stuck just put it in 4x4 and I'm out

[@FunGoingFast]

Nice! I had both of those at the same time. Should have just kept them both. Thats all the types of riding right there! Great collection. Enjoy.

[@ricksmith2476]

Great commentary I gave you a thumbs up

[@HighLifeRider]

Best quads ever made

[@shanelanham1643]

[@FunGoingFast]

Nice!

Suzuki 400 lt z 2023 🎉❤

[@DanielBrooks-of4vl]

I love the first gen Ltz 400 but i hate the handle bars i switched them and i love it even more and the clutch is the best

[@FunGoingFast]

They do havw a weird bend. But great machine.

1:33 "you can still easily stay under control" as he loses control.

[@JohnnyAnderson1]

looks like he gained control back very rapidly?

[@kacperniznik3373]

Yeah I guess that’s a good point

[@dougmuzzy32]

I love mine but I have not been able to ride in the past 2 years because I am looking for another crack Case set and I will say they are not cheap so always check your chain be for every ride

[@FunGoingFast]

Yes! I had that happen on a YFZ 450. Great advice.

[@Mysterious_RSA]

Managed to get one with a custom exhaust and some other extras for 1800 US, am hap

[@FunGoingFast]

Thats a solid deal! Well done.

[@nimwit0]

Or get a 450 of any sorts, and just change the sprockets to accomodate trail riding better. Only thing your missing is reverse.

[@trailridersandfun5798]

Well kfx450r came with reverse but i still choose the 400 so comfy and perfect trail machine

[@ThreeMiner]

Where does everyone buy aftermarket parts for these mostly? I don’t see a lot of great options. Just picked one up myself

[@motormouth2472]

Which company built this machine? I've seen a Kawasaki model which looks almost identical and there's also an Artic Cat one that looks similar too. Just wondering which company actually created these?

[@FunGoingFast]

Yep good catch. Suzuki made them, and they had a deal to share platforms with Kawasaki in the early 2000s. They had some bikes that were the same as well. And they used to have an ownership stake in Arctic Cat that ended in 2012, hence those models.

[@motormouth2472]

@@FunGoingFast ahh okay yeah that makes sense, thank you for the info

[@ChuckNorris01]

Do you have to pop the clutch to do a wheelie?

[@FunGoingFast]

If you goose it with some throttle it will definitely wheelie. Be careful though as it has a very light front end.

[@ChuckNorris01]

@@FunGoingFast ah ok thanks. Looking to buy one and I wanna do a wheelie while I tear ride it haha

[@wendellkirton3694]

How much is the price ?

[@FunGoingFast]

You can find used 1st gens on Marketplace for anywhere from $2k to $5k for modified versions.

[@5.2mjay71]

Just lost a homie yesterday he was on a ltz😢

[@FunGoingFast]

Man. Sorry to hear that.
