Customizing the Suzuki Z400

Written by admin on February 21, 2010 – 7:06 pm -

Suzuki Z400 - From Sport To Sporty We Perfect The New Suzuki Z400 By Eli Madero Suzuki made vast changes to the already popular Z400 sport ATV. When we had our chance to look at it for the first time, there were plenty of reasons for us to be impressed. The biggest and most notable change was the introduction of a fuel-injected powerplant that caused many heads to turn. Suzuki claimed the engine put out a significant amount of power across the board, which left it beginner-friendly with options of upgrading in the future. Another major change for the Z came in the form of a new suspension package. The front of the quad was widened by an inch and the shocks were sprung and valved in a way that was similar to that of the LT-R450. The reason engineers... more

Yoshimura Suzuki QuadRacer R450 Review

Written by admin on November 3, 2009 – 4:58 pm -

JC Hilderbrand, MotorcycleUSA You don’t earn a national championship title in the most competitive ATV MX racing series on the continent without building something special. Suzuki not only built a title-worthy machine for Dustin Wimmer, but the Japanese OEM has formed a platform of racing technology over decades of development that culminated in the 2009 championship. Wimmer has been able to put his Yoshimura Suzuki QuadRacer R450 to good use and is now the two-time defending AMA ATV Pro Motocross champion. In 1985, Suzuki shocked the powersport industry by unveiling the world’s first high-performance four-wheeler. Up until that point, it was all about the three-wheelers. The Quadracer 250 helped lay the groundwork for where we’re at... more

Ways to Beef-up Your ATV

Written by admin on October 19, 2009 – 6:33 pm -

With new ATV’s coming out every year, a quad that is king of the mountain one year may fall back to the middle of the pack the next year. And, of course, the more you ride and get comfortable with your ATV, the braver you are going to get and eventually reach a point when you have perfected the art of riding and run into a mud pit you can’t cross or notice that some other quads can get the jump on you. Many people simply trade their quad when this happens, but there are a lot of things you can do to your quad to get even more power or custom tune your ATV to suit the terrain in your area or your riding style. One of the easiest ways to tailor your quad to local riding conditions is to simply change how you grip the ground. There is a... more

Taking Jumps and Sharp Turns on an ATV

Written by admin on September 24, 2009 – 7:41 pm -

You may notice that some ATV riders can make certain obstacles and jumps look like child’s play while others make them look dangerous and impassable. Although superior equipment may be partially responsible, experience and familiarity with your quad is what separates the men from the boys. Riding time is the best way to get better, but there are a few techniques, like making you quad pivot around a corner or taking a jump, that can make riding a lot more fun. If you want to take a corner quickly without losing much speed, depending on your ATV’s setup and capabilities, you may be able to conquer the turn by making your quad pivot around it. Although this technique works best with light, powerful sport quads, it can be used with utility... more
