ok i finally talked my father-in-law to buy a sportbike. he's buying a new 06 z400.
how cn i make my stock 400ex keep up with him on the z

contrary to popular belief, there is not worlds of difference between the 2 in perfpormance...if you guys are pretty even riders, then there really won't be much of a difference on the trails

400ex is better on trails, but if u have a drag race the z will win easily

a couple years ago when i only had a slip on pipe i would beat stock z's no problem,stock for stock though in a drag race a z will win against a 400 ex but ne where other than that its pretty much up to the riders skill lvl.

Unless you change your gearing the Kawuki's will pull from you in the end. So just mod it and smoke him in the beginning and shorten the drags.

Haha thats what i do only i don't shorten the track. So when i hit 5th and he starts to come back i just left off before he gets to me, and he says why you let off. And i'm just say cause i just smoked you. Haha good idea though.

just wait til he breaks down and then see what he can do. (haha) just kidding, the zuk's would be my second choice brand to my Honda. they are nice bikes and ranks well in the dependability dept.

I can pull them hard on the bottom but up top they are quick. The 400ex runs out of gear.
