[@Jugtown_Junkie]

I have oem handle bars and a subframe I can donate to the build

[@johnrathbun2943]

Mike, I'm not sure how to put this so I'll dispense with the politeness. You need councilling or meds!😅 I say go all out and make it into beast mode. But then on the other hand you already have some killer machines so OK I'll go along with your idea. I'm not happy with your decision but I've been known to be wrong. Only once of course but yes I was wrong. So we'll see how this turns out. 😢

[@MichaelSabo]

@willythibs3174 if they're straight, I would love to have them! Thank you for offering. Shoot me an email at [e-mail] if you're serious 🤘

[@DA_Buddha]

Mike please, as a fellow Z400 owner and enthusiast, please put on a set of 05 and later front shocks with the reservoir and get them sprung and valved for you. I understand you want the factory look but for a better riding experience, I highly recommend you make that upgrade.

[@Davidlabar4]

*_This build is so nostalgic, it nearly made me cry watching this! I raced my new LTZ-400 for my senior year back in 2004 at the Lorain County Ohio fair!_* _(I will neverrrr forget those days! I had sooo freaking much fun with this ATV! My god man.. this is just soooo nostalgic!🥲)_

[@MichaelSabo]

Happy to hear you're stoked about it man!

[@joshmedeiros7594]

Bro thank you so much I've been waiting for you to do a z400 for ever history's was Doug gust took a DRZ motor used it in a honda hybrid frame which got the the attention of Suzuki..then came the ltz400 in 03. Won few championships on it then it was time then the LTR to this the LTR geometry is perfered for these hybrids that are coming out. I sent you a DM a few morhs ago my dad passed away stage 4 lung cancer and i pulled out his/my 2004 LTZ and im completely restoring it. It was you that inspired me to do this. When he was dying your videos literally got me through the 8 months of hospice. I didn't want him to go to to a home so I quit my job blew through my savings and it was just me and him thank you bro for the inspiration. I recently purchased home my Grandfather built and the builds on the back burner but i have everything I need almost. Thank you for being such a good content creator and inspiring me.

[@Mich1gen]

Damn, Im so happy I finally see Z400 on this channel. I own very unique street legal Z400 and Im incredibly happy with this quad. It handles so well, its pretty small and humble, drifting with this quad is just so easy lol. Reliability wise Im happy too, but previous owner didnt take much care of my quad so there were a few issues - carburetor, brakes and worn valves. The biggest problem with this quad are VIBRATIONS ! Literally every single bolt became loose over those years I own this quad. Locktite is a MUST here. I like your idea with 100% stock Z400, but... Quads (in my personal opinion) are for using/riding not for looking. Those stock shocks are literally UNUSABLE. Its like having a flat steel instead of shocks. Also, I almost rolled over my stock Z400 (when I bought it) like 5 times, so using a spacers at least in front is again, in my opinion, a must. Lastly, stock Z400 lacks a power, you will get used to powerband of Z400 within weeks/months and then it will get pretty boring. I bought Namura big bore kit for around 350$ and Im happy with power that it makes right now. BTW I have walk by of my quad at my channel (last video), so feel free to check it out (I did graphics myself)

[@mustardtigermi]

This video spoke to me & my childhood powersports dreams. Your channel actually inspired me to do a build of my own, & back in 2021 I picked up my childhood dream quad, the 2008 KTM 525XC. Two years & almost $20k later, I'd completely tore down & built a bored over pro-national ready beast from the ground up. It's become my pride & joy, & it feels completely unreal to finally own something I remember staring at in the ATV magazines back in the day & building to my liking while playing MX vs ATV lol keep up the awesome content Mike, I can't wait to see how this project turns out!

[@MichaelSabo]

Very cool man. It makes my day hearing that I inspired you to build that KTM. Thank you for sharing your story and for watching my video 🤘

[@jarredcooper564]

I had a KFX400 that I raced in hare scrambles. It was a great quad and bullet proof. My vote is to build it full XC. Oversized tank, XC tires, beadlocks, long travel suspension. If you go that route get a different swingarm because the carrier on the stock one is terrible. Love your videos!

[@MichaelSabo]

Man, this is a tempting idea for sure. Thank you for the love on my videos 🤘

[@jonjonbailey502]

Don’t forget the weakness of the front shock mount areas on the frame, the recalls, and the swingarm cracking. Things to look for

[@tannerwestrick2618]

Happy to see another project. I’d absolutely love to see another 400ex project, but a full teardown and rebuild. No one has yet to make a solid engine build video for those.

[@MichaelSabo]

I should do one of those one of these days - the 400ex deserves it

[@BrennonSample-i9v]

Look up 2 vintage he works on every single machine and a few 400ex see if he has any

[@lucascady4992]

My Dream Quad was the Quadzilla, rode one when I was 14 in 1995 and I was in Awe of that machine! Took me 21 years to actually own one!! I get the obsession. Took me 3yrs and Close to 10K to get it how I wanted it! ❤

[@kelleyfrazier3920]

By far the best trail quad out there! The features are all upgrades from the 400EX. My favorite quad all day.

[@nitrodspec6402]

SABO!!!! I bought a trashed Raptor 700, and I'm loving the resto process. You have motivated me to make the quad resurrection a side gig. Just because I dig these classic monsters! Lookin forward to finding one of these 'Zuki's! thanks for inspiring me bro! KEEP EM COMING!

[@MichaelSabo]

Dude, that's awesome that I could inspire you. Good luck on your 700 build 🤘

[@Multishipperfreak]

Built one for a buddy last year. Did the drz upgrade with cams, single layer base gasket, dynatek cdi, and a lightened flywheel. Ran like a champ and would out run a stock yfz450 by a lot. Definitely something you should consider doing.

[@Multishipperfreak]

Also added a sparks exhaust and a 400ex intake boot 👍🏻

[@dxquinnno]

fcr carbs on these engines are insane upgrades

[@MichaelSabo]

Sounds like a great build - I'd love to do these things if I were going the restomod route.

[@huntersieling8011]

I bought an 03 LTZ last year and that's actually how I found your channel. Glad to finally see a video on one. I absolutely love these machines. My LTZ has a built engine that made 46hp on the dyno which is pretty respectable.

[@pbag26]

Nice to see a revival of these classics.

[@bradmcdaniel7258]

Thanks for the invite, I have a 2004 KFX400 you can get the head lamp piece at Moto sport ,but it's black ,white and yellow aren't available now , can't wait to see you get into it.👍👏👏👏👏👊

[@TheRealBradSK]

this is great because i just bought a beat up ltz 400 a month ago and have been replacing & fixing many things on it. thank you for this one! keep up the good work mike!

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Super stoked about this build! I had a brand new z400 white with purple/blue seat. Loooved that machine.

[@cadman9615]

I’ve had both the 400ex & the Z400…the Z400 is still in the garage. The 400ex is a great quad, but the short stroke liquid cooled DOHC Z400 engine just rips. Add a BIG Bore & cams & you have total ripper. I picked up super clean 2006 last yr from a seller in MI. Prob my fav all rounder quad out off all the ones I’ve fixed & sold. Like you….i fell in love with quads around age 10-11, right when quads were being introduced after ATC’s were going out of production in the mid 80’s. Lookin forward to seeing this build. You do great work & are very detail oriented & don’t even skip the small things 👍🏻

[@smward1126]

Just picked up a 2003 z400 last year. I can’t wait for a ton of in depth videos on this! I recommend an aftermarket aluminum oil pan as the stock ones threads are very weak.

[@smward1126]

Also I think y would be cool to see you fix all of the known issues with the quad and leave most of the drivetrain stock for reliability and it’ll become a good build for others to follow in the future

[@ipawdmaster]

Definitely should get you a k&n airbox cover it opens the top of the airbox up and is basically like running no lid but your filter stays clean and you don't have to worry about water splashing into your airbox I found one on a parts z400 I got a few years back and that was one of my favorite upgrades for the z

[@dustinhixson6287]

this was my first brand new quad! same year and color. cant wait to see what you shape it into. Glad to see you back in the garage.

[@Esteban6114]

I just sold my ltz400, fun quad. One thing to keep an eye on is that swing arm. They are notorious for cracking.

[@danebowen729]

Mike the Z400 is my wheelhouse. Been on z400central (now suzukicentral) since 2004. Trust me here on this one, simple yet powerful build - 94mm 12.5:1 CP (with single layer DRZ-e base gasket), DRZ valve springs, HC 2 (or old school HC 3 if you can find them), and here's the key - FCR 39mm. The stock mikuni 36 will be your weakpoint, FCR changes all of that, you'll need the DRZ intake boot which is bigger and much less of a headache. Add a 400ex intake tube (much straighter shot) and you're cooking. I'm sure you'll touch the head like you normally do. Dyna FS if you need an ignition. You'll have a reliable and powerful runner, NO REGERTS!

[@chadriddle3517]

Awesome build idea mike! I too always wanted one of these when I was younger . But when I got old enough to afford one I bought a 450 R instead so I never really got to experience it. Can’t wait to see the finished product! I know it will be immaculate as always

[@ledthrax]

Really excited about this build Mike! i really like the direction you are taking by building a stock quad. Keep it up man!

[@jasonstcin659]

Love it Sabo.....l can't wait to watch the journey it takes you on and see it when it's done. Good luck brother and I hope all goes well! ✌️

[@Marts1499]

I have rebuilt a few of these 400 engines. For some extra Pep Get yourself a carburetor off the drz 400e model! Also try and find the drz 400e cams or a pair of hot cams, also if you get the Drz gasket for a bit more compression!

[@2LegitTooQuit]

I’m amped over this build! I felt/feel the same way about the atvs and just recently got one myself!!! Mine is white and blue. Has pro taper bars,tusk nerf bars,full hmf exhaust, tusk shifter,ITP beadlocks and a bunch of other goodies. I paid $300 for it.

[@fabricationnation8052]

I was lucky enough to buy it's big brother in 06 and put it up...now it needs the dust blown off and the tank cleaned out.... it was such an amazing quad

[@2wheelfox]

Excited to watch this build. I had a 06 kfx400 years ago. Excellent fun quad. I would argue just as durable as a Honda 400ex if not more so. I like your idea of a showroom build. Signing and giving a shout out to the helmet winners was a nice jesture. Looking forward to the next video drop!

[@K47MILES]

We need MORE full restoration videos please we love them!

[@IFIXATVS]

Sabo, please put a Manual CCT, new cam chain and checking the valve shims for the correct clearance on the list for this quad. These engines are WELL KNOWN to stretch cam chains.

[@kennethshippee0309]

I bought one of these new off the showroom floor in 2007. Was a very good machine. My brother got ahold of the key while I was at work and wrecked it. Payed it off and sold it, but this machine in 2007 was legit!!!

[@Lmcjr1000]

Awesome 👏🏾 Been waiting for this build a long time!!! Let’s go!!!

[@Zack_Raefski]

I just got a 2005 KFX 400 and it’s my dream quad. So fun and easy to rip around, all around it’s a great trail quad and wheelie machine too

[@Willy_On_Wheels]

I just started a frame off rebuild of a 2000 400ex. I’m super excited about it but if I’m honest, I’ve also always wanted a ltz400. I love the way they look and LOVE that they had reverse and liquid cooling. One day I’ll get one and rebuild it. Until then, wish me luck on the 400ex lol.

[@daxmorlock7846]

I've been excited for this build ever since you showed it the first time. I currently have an 06. I've had a few of them and oddly have all been 06. When they first came out, I thought they were kinda ugly. Once I got that first one and rode it out in Winchester Bay, I was hooked. I was looking up 400cc quads and came across the first cheap quad challenge. I've watched most everything you've done since then. Again super excited for this build.

[@benbrown565]

i had a 2007 ltz400. Such an amazing machine. Never let me down and i was a teenager giving it hell every day! miss it.

[@benbrown565]

take the baffle out of the exhaust if you wanna make the neighbors mad 🤣

[@benbrown565]

also 100% stock other than nerf bars. you can’t go wrong with the stock build.

Thank you Wyatt!

[@videoceeper]

I love this quad, I got one in boxes and went throught it with a comb and went big bore with stage 5 full system exhaust and is wild!

[@mikechristopher7513]

As you know,love all your vids! I’m stoked for the Z build. I’m a little older than you so my favorite dealer quad was the 230S. Took me a while to finally pick one up but I had the 88 in white and blue with the fairing around the headlight. I was hoping you were gonna do the white and blue scheme as well. Either way,can’t wait to see the brand new stock machine. No doubt it will be sick!!

[@Dubsspeed]

Keep an eye out on those swingarm bearings/bushings and chain sliders! I got my z400 cheapppp tore it down and i kid u not my swingarm was one rough ride from the swingarm totally failing if rode how it was. The chain had been rubbing on the swingarm for so long i had maybe a 1mm of material left on the swingarm where the pivot tubes house the bearings themselves. Damn near was chain to bearing race lol. Did some touch up to it while it was out and made it like it never happened but certainly a super close call. That and hairline cracks in the rear brake bracket mount thats also apart of the rear carrier lol. Went to hit my back brakes one day and damn near ate fence instead cuz the damn mount just sheared off, caliper fell and i drug it all the way back home with partial carrier bearing exposure lol

[@hennessyremy4970]

Well worth the wait. Thanks for not forgetting about us ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Jmoney92591]

Super excited for this build ive been watching for years hoping one day you would build one, alot of companies you have recommended on parts i have used on my 2005 ltz drw performance for example and been very happy with. My grandfather restores old cars and trucks and you both are alot alike just with different machines

[@lionellawson2808]

I was racing my 250r still when these quads were released an at the time the 400ex was the only 4 stroke at the tracks minus a couple 250r’s with YZF426 engines in them (as a Honda guy I thought it broke so many rules!) the 400ex’s were immediately outfitted with 440 kits because they were so down on power then the Z400 came out an was destroying the EX’s however thdd wd EX’s were more popular because if you made the switch from 250r to the EX most of your aftermarket components were a direct bolt on A-arms shocks ect… AKA THE EXPENSIVE PARTS so if you went to the Z400 you had to start over an easily with the purchase of the machine I believe was around $6000 to have $15,000 in it to be competitive at a pro level an in 2003-2004 $15,000 in a quad was insane the also released was the cannondale moto440 for $12,000-$14,000 but it had the absolute best parts money could buy. However in 2003-2004 the Z400’s rear axle was extremely weak and seeing a Z400 axle snapped in half at the track was extremely common an Suzuki didn’t have an updated axle quick enough so if you broke one Suzuki warranty the axle but you got a dura-blue eliminator axle for free

[@actionmac4624]

Hey Mike I love what you do and keep up the good work! I still have my original VGC 03’ Z400 that I bought off the showroom floor in the summer of 02’. As far as I know I had the first white one in my area. Almost all were yellow from what I saw. If you wanna go for a weekend trip to Marienville PA let me know and we could have a classic sport quad trail ride. The Allegheny state trails in Marienville are great and provide almost 100 miles of trails.

Why not go all out and improve or upgrade the dream? It had a Yoshi exhaust, wheelie bar, frame sliders, suspension covers and some custom suspension. Best thing ever and I really miss it.

[@christopheravery5808]

They actually had OEM piggyback shocks as a “dealer equipped” upgrade. They were Works shocks at that, and they were not offered on all machines back then. I actually had a set on mine before I tore them off and built it up. I bet you can find some.

[@MichaelSabo]

Are you serious? If this is so, that would be freaking legit!

[@christopheravery5808]

@@MichaelSabo the dealer equipped piggy back shocks had red springs, the yellow strings came stock on the ‘05 and newer. The yellow springs are the same shocks, but that was the difference between dealer equipped in 2003 vs OEM shocks in 2005. I WAS OBSESSED with them as well back then. I was just graduating high school and my buddy got one as a graduation present. When they first came out they were extremely big news!! The GNCC series just opened a production class where you had to run OEM frame machines and the modified 400EX’s actually beat out the 250R’s in some of the really muddy races. Suzuki shortly entered a z400 (I believe with William Yokley as the rider but don’t quote me on that) and they started beating the 250R’s on a regular. Back then Honda and Yamaha just came out with 450 models and Athena Racing immediately offered a 440, 450, and 470cc big bores. There was no engine displacement limit in the production process class back then so it was common to see a 400EX up against a 660 raptor. I believe Suzuki finished 5th or 6th maybe with a 440 kit on a z400 and it was their first year running the quad. Not a bad season finish considering Honda and Yamaha had 450’s and Yamaha had a 660 running in the same class.

Love this project, looking forward to future episode. The original rear tyre the Dunlop kt335. There a very popular tyre here in Australia in the sand so A fellow rider had copies made of them by a Chinese company unilli. Maybe something worth looking into if you were wanting to go that way.

Thats how it was with the 400ex for me, wanted one when they came out. Finally got one about 8 yrs ago

Stock builds are always cool. Not quad related but I’m building my 92 f150 as you would’ve gotten from the show room.

[@MichaelSabo]

Very cool man; good luck with your F150!

@MichaelSabo I have had my Z400 since new in 02 and there is nothing like the showroom floor z400! I have all stock parts, paperwork and hangtags. Rebuilt it fame up in 2020. If you can't find the hang tags I may be able to help out. Great video! Can't wait to see the progress!

So excited for the Z400 content. And that skit in the beginning was prime, cuz those swingarm bolts are a pain in the ass to loosen up, at least mine was
