anyone have some links to good ATV boards like our PBB? More tech related. I am looking into buying the new Suzuki DR400Z. Bad ass quad by the way. I just keep putting it off until the new Kawasaki KFX400's are available. They two bikes are almost identical. I am really liking the zuki though. Thanks!

Do a search on the weeb. I have found a few but dont have them bookmarked. The new kawi looks exactly like the suzi but is green. Same price too. comes down to white, yellow, or green. Pick a color and buy it.;)

The look the same because they are the same.
Kawi and Suzuki are collaberating on this wheeler. Meaning they are both using the same design e.g. Geo Prism/Toyota Corralla

Try here: http://www.atving.com/
Nothing like the tech for 4x on this board, but it was the best I found when I was doing homework for my KVF650s.
A lot of young kids, but if you monitor it you'll find the guys with the know how. You'll even find some stuff on the deal that Kawi and zuki have to do some joint development.

Thanks guys! I am stuck on the Z400 instead of the Raptor becaue I am not really a yamaha fan. I am really a Honda guy but the 400ex is getting left behind. The suki is only 2mph slower than a raptor and will run even with it through every gear. the raptor only pulls away at top end. Plus a raptor is more expensive. I have been reading about hte new polaris 500 as well. But it doesnt have reverse. In the tight ass trails in WV reverse definately comes in handy.
I kinda figured the suki/kawi thing was similar to the ford/mazda thing. Oh well now i just have to find a little extra $$. Thanks again for the links guys. Later:flipoff2:

I have a raptor and i would love to trade it in on a Z400. I haven't had any major problems with the raptor. Just a bunch of small ones.:rolleyes:
I say go for the suzuki/kawasaki
