From The Manufacturer: |

The popular 400cc sport all-terrain vehicle (ATV) class appeals to riders who want the leading edge of power, performance and exhilaration. These competitive riders are purists who will accept nothing less than a manual transmission for maximizing engine acceleration, demand powerful braking performance and typically choose the fastest line through a turn. Kawasaki's answer to this high-performance demand is the KFX® 400 sport ATV.
The KFX® 400 is powered by a 398cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine featuring double overhead cams and four valves atop a chrome composite-plated aluminum alloy cylinder. Fed by a new 37mm high-performance carburetor, it includes electric start and has a counter balancer to reduce vibration.
The KFX® 400 engine utilizes a "dry sump" design, with the engine oil being carried in the tubes of the high-performance chassis instead of the traditional location beneath the engine. This design enabled engineers to shorten overall engine height so it can be placed lower in the chassis for enhanced stability while providing higher ground clearance.
Transmitting power from the engine to the rear wheels is a high-performance five-speed-plus-reverse manual transmission and efficient O-ring chain.
A high-performance powerband requires an equally advanced chassis, so the KFX® 400 ATV engine rides in a high-tensile steel frame and subframe. Suspension duties are handled by dual front A-arms with new fully adjustable shocks that provide 8.5 inches of travel, while an aluminum-alloy swingarm with fully adjustable shock provides 9.1 inches of travel on the rear. Contributing to the KFX® 400's low, 373-pound dry weight are competition-inspired aluminum-alloy wheels, and stopping power is provided by dual front disc brakes and a single rear disc brake.

This is one of the best. I had no problem taking a yfz 450 on the sand. The motor revs quick but other then that everything is just right i think. I love this quad I would not get anything else I HIGHLY REFER THIS over a yfz or honda. The revers is quick and easy never had problems getting it out of or in revers. |

ATV(four-wheeler) and motorcycle (dirt bike) riding is inherently dangerous. Proper research should be done before deciding
to enter the sport, and afterwards before each ride. Riding classes or instruction is recommended for the beginner rider. Always
read the owners manual after buying a new vehicle. All protective gear including but not limited to a helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, chest protector, shin and elbow guards, ect. should
be worn. Extreme riding such as stunt riding or riding and high speeds is considered very dangerous and is not tolerated on
our property. Always be extremely careful when riding in an unknown area. All manufacture warnings should be followed, such as
age limit, double-riding, stunt riding, road use, ect. Operating any off-road vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol
is extremely dangerous to yourself and others and should never be done (this is prohibited at The Ridge Riding Park). When riding
your ATV or dirtbike always stay on approved trails. Only ride in approved areas, and get permission before riding on private lands.
Keep your riding area clean and respect the environment. Obey all laws regarding riding and the riding area.
