I've ridden them all, and owned maybe 50 total. You are very correct, the z400 is hands down the most fun and scores in the GOOD column more than the others. I won't sell mine anytime soon. Mines an 03 and has ZERO problems. Very reliable quad.

Good stuff man! The Z400 has got to be one of the most versatile, most underrated machines out there.

Some solid info Patrick! I have been wanting a 434 kit for my Z for a while now and that dream is coming true soon!! Mine as of right now has a set of Stage 1 Hotcams, FMF Powerbomb header, Q4 Silencer and a few other things. It surprised me when it kept up with my Dads cousins TRX450R with a HRC Cam! Well, it kept up to about 4th gear and the 450 starts to pull away, lol! And I am running stock springs with those Hotcams for about 2 years and haven’t really had any weird problems, on Motosports Website they didnt say anything about stiffer valve springs when I ordered the cams. But hey, shes still runnin good!! And thats a nice effin quad you got there!!

I wish I would of seen this a long time ago lol! I bought my first quad a year ago, and have ran into some problems but I just really like the 400 so much and i’m trying to rebuild it and this helped out a lot! I have an 03 LTZ 400 bored it out to a 434 ended up having to buy a brand new OEM carb and it the fixed the bogging down issue and it got tuned and new jets for it. But now need to go the route for a swing arm, chain, sprocket, A-arms, calipers, rear axles, and I think my quad would look really good. Really liked the video thanks for sharing feed back for someone who knows a little bit but not enough!

Very nice information. After chatting with you about my 05 I took the time to check out your other videos. Well that was probably a mistake b/c now you gave me enough info to be dangerous to my wallet. Right now my quad is completely stock and instead of putting some band aid fixes on it I will wait and do a more substantial rebuild. I am right there with you about how the 400 can keep up with 450's. I never have an issue keeping up. I hope you are right that covid caused after parts for this quad harder to find. I am hoping sport quads are not being phased out by side by sides (at least that's how it's looking up here in Ohio). As far as I know yamaha is the only one offering one.

Kfx 400 was my first sport quad back in 2006 😎 our property at the time backed up to core land so I have a lot of good memories on that quad. When the ltr 450 came out I had to have one and I ended up trading it in. Even to this day after owning built ktm’s, ltr’s, and Yfz 450r’s if I ever see my orange/black kfx 400 come up for sale I am buying it back 😎👍 lots of tips in this video I did not know about with not building on the 400 platform yet.

Thanks for this. Was gonna buy an 03. Bought an 09 instead for a little more $ but I think it was worth it after finding out the flaws of 03/04

Funny you mentioned some people leaving their 400’s for a 450. I had a Yamaha raptor 350 and wanted to stay with Yamaha and the next thing up was only a 450. So my cousin’s that had KFX400 and LTZ400 sold their bikes just cause I was on the YFZ450R and they would out ride me in the trails on there 400’s but just because someone got a 450 they wanted one also. 400’s are more then capable to run with 450’s and at the end it’s all about rider skill level. Great video really informative.

Your LTZ is super clean! I love my. 2003 still has all the lemon parts like the shocks and subframe but I haven’t had a frame crack yet. I really hope it doesn’t but I don’t do any racing just sand dunes and woods/hill climbing so I think it’ll be fine but they are for sure very reliable.

Not sure if they still make them, but I have a Burgard swingarm which uses all my old 250r axle ,carrier,brakes . 434 kit here as well,hot cams ,250r a-arms,dynatek cdi , drz base gasket. It needs about 100 octane to not ping ,but it rips. Stock carb rejetted, 400 ex intake boot . Pretty mean lil machine .
