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. 😢

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.

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.

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!

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 7 месяцев назад

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 🤘

@Multishipperfreak 7 месяцев назад

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.

@Mich1gen 7 месяцев назад

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)

@cadman9615 7 месяцев назад

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 👍🏻

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.

@danebowen729 7 месяцев назад

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!

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.

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

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 6 месяцев назад

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

@christopheravery5808 6 месяцев назад

@@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.

Man, so glad you are doing this right now !! Just picked up a beat '04, so I'll be restoring mine simultaneously!

Haven't even watched the vid yet but I just know you doing a z400 is going to turn out awesome and make me miss the 1 I built and got rid of last year even more

Miss my 2004 z400 ! The best quad I had and stock it was really snappy . I remember it would pick the front end up when you full throttle it an had the best balance point . I rode wheelies 5th gear wide open
