thinking of getting two. One for me and my girl. anything wrong with them?
were getting 2005's if that makes a diff? thank's in advance!

They are nice. Mine works great. A little more info on how you ride. The girl I would think would be very happy.

A friend of mine has 3 of them, and is very satisfied. His are piped with Works front shocks. They seem to be real happy with them.

The 05's are pretty sweet with the candy blue powder on the frame and the piggybacks on front shocks! Great bikes!

I just bought a '04 for my wife for Xmas...great bike. After I bought it, I started a thread in here asking for info on do's and don'ts. I got some really good info.

The reason I bought a '04 over a '05, was they were selling them for $2000.00 less than the '05s and the only real different was the front shocks and you can get way better shocks for $2000.00! If you get a Z400, the ALBA pipe kit and going down a tooth on the front sprocket is the way to go, you can really tell a difference and you're not going to find a better deal on a pipe kit anywhere else.

Great bike, IMO, the 05's aer killer's, they are great, they still have the frame problem, which unless you do huge jumping there is nothing to worry about, the white and blue is awesome, i wish my 04' came with a blue frame,

i second the alba kit the new style pipe, with k&n, billet adaptor, outearwear, and jetting for $450, and then a 13t sprocket, $15 or so,

the front shocks are also rebuildable

I bought my kids an 03 z400 when they came out.I put on the White Bros kit(slip on pipe,filter and jet) it has been bullet prof. I almost bought another one a few weeks ago. But my son wanted a polaris pred so I picked him up one of those. I think the z400 is easyer to ride. But what do I know I just drive my buggy anyway.

Depends on how you ride as noted above. But, I personally believe the suzuki/kawi 400's are the best "bang for the buck" package out there. Great bike for the wife: plenty of power, easy to steer, light frontend, comfy seating. Great cruiser bike for a guy with enough power to keep up on group rides. If you have to be the first guy up the hill, or ride very hard, I'd step up to either of the 450's, but if you just want to have a good time, and not worry about your ride, these are awesome bikes. I have an 03 zuki that I bought in june of 02, and it's been ridden pretty hard with no problems (and it's now our "spare" ride)..The wife loves her 04 kawi too.

$2000 off their regular price or MSRP? Just seems like an incredible amount off-$2000 would be almost 40% off!

thank's for all the replies guy's. This forum is bitchin!

thank's MAC for the link! lot's of info. we'll probably get 2 05's andfrom ALBA and just put paddles on them and cruise around through the dune's were not really into racing much.

Alba sells them with their stage 3 kit, graphics, and tag x5 handle bars. 2

shocker do you work for alba?

No but i stand by their products

i am wanting to find my girlfriend a good starting quad. she has ridden my banshee, and doesn't like the power band. Would it be smart to get her a 400 (LTZ or KFX), or go ahead and spend a few more hundred and get a 450R?



thanks,


Kelly

The choice would be a no brainer for me...the Z400 has an electric start... But is she an experienced rider? Is she wanting to go big? I would think the Z400 would be a great for anyone and the price and dependability is good to.

The z400 would be the best choice. IMO Do to electric start, enough power for her, and reverse.
