What's the Difference Between the LTZ400 VS DVX400 VS KFX400 

Those 03/04 pogo shocks are terrible, pretty much anything is better 😂

I knew I was forgetting something since I have the updated subframe on my ltz, I did not know that the stems were different.

@@TheATVHustle as far as first-generation goes, the subframe bolt into the mainframes differently. Also, I believe the 03 the grab bar was part of the subframe. The steering stem on the 07 and 08 were an inch shorter. I'm not positive of this but many mechanics have told me, the 03 cylinder head and exhaust Port was different. Many claimed that the 03 model engine actually put out the most torque and horsepower. Not sure of that but, I have owned and ridden every model of LTZ made! The later years of the LTZ seem to be more sluggish in their power compared to the 03 model. Probably because the 03 was the lightest of all the LTZ models

Awesome! I hope the machine worked out, my kids don't like to ride with me anymore. " Daddy you go to fast. "

Aside from the plastic, you will need the seat and headlight. It's been so long since i messed with a DVX I can't remember if the fender mounting brackets are the same or not. You will also need the headlight harness.

It’s a 12” cheap eBay one, it was like $15 is I remember right

The part numbers show them as different although I'm not sure what is the difference. I'm almost positive one of my uppers and one lower came off a 05 I parted out. IF you buy aftermarket they still sell as 03-08.

Yes the axle is the same, just a different carrier.

It is not normal to run at all times. If it is then it is likely the previous owner bypassed the temperature switch.

The biggest thing that makes a difference on 05 and up is the front shocks. Which mine is a 03 and I put the 05 + shocks on it. It is around $300 for a used set. It is really hard to beat the 400EX as well. If it came down to budget i would say which ever machine is nicer, in better shape and is the best deal. If there is no budget the LTZ with the 05+ suspension rides much better than the 400ex. The 400EX parts are a little cheaper is you break something. It's really hard to say which is better since i wanted a 400EX but ended up with my LTZ.

@@TheATVHustle Thanks for the input gives me a better mindset on what I need to look for 🤙🏻

Mine doesn’t have it, I also have the China carb with oem jets and it runs great.

Svensk? Kan det vara en artic cat du haft problemet med?🤔

I wouldn’t say they’re hard to get parts for, but they don’t have as much aftermarket support as some of the other brands like the 400ex

It won’t be a direct bolt in, that engine is fuel injected and has different crankcases.

I am pretty sure they will but you would have to have LTZ or KFX mounting brackets. I have not confirmed this. It would also need the LTZ headlight and seat.

I have 06 DVX 400 I'm in the process of cutting the plastics right on the back of the fuel tank. Easy place to install the bracket for plastics, much easier for removal when you need to get the plastics off.

Yea that dvx seat is a bit different than the ltz, definitely a comfy seat.

@@TheATVHustle definitely agree with you on the seats 💯

That really depends on what you are going to use it for, the 400 will be more reliable but cost more to get more power. The 450 does require more maintenance. I prefer the 400 for trails, of all the 450s i have rode weren't as much fun. Personal preference and riding style is really what it comes down to

Ty! It's going to be for trail riding. Trading a klr650 for a really clean 06 kfx400

@@CLP2102 it will be fun for sure!

I wish i could have, I'm a little to young. 😂

@@TheATVHustle i was a teenager , my friends had the 400 ex , 250 ex , 300 ex and the Yamaha warrior and blasters , I had the only Z 400 at the time , all yellow with a yoshimura pipe . What a great time it was to be a teen with these machines 1999-2006 , my childhood and these machines .

​@BlackCatVR6 I feel it man. I was 12 years old growing up in Hawaii and my uncle bought a brand new 03 z400, threw all black plastics on it with a yoshi exhaust and nerf bars. At the time it was the baddest 4 stroke quad out. Nothing beats the early 2000's days. Makes me sad I wish I could go back lol

Yes it has the same swingarm.
