o3 z400 frame

[klutchbuster400]

i've heard the 03 z400 frame was weak, but just how weak is it? i plan on going to the track alot more often now, and i would like it if my frame didnt snap on me after hitting a bump, so do you think i shoud get a gusset kit RIGTH away, or should i be good for a while?

I am not sure but i always say "Better safe than sorry." I am sure it would be cheaper to get the gussets now, rather than to fix the frame and get the gussets added later.

it  all depends  on your  frame  some  03s were   real crappy.some are not  so far mine  its been  good.  knock  on wood............ .. the best bet  is  to  have  it  gusseted   i will be doing mine  soon.  you  never kwow ! ive seen  broken  03s just  by  trail riddin.

if nothing else atleast Gusset the front shock mounts thats where mine started braking first! also watch your sub-frame on the 03's broke mine twice

Gusset kits (do it yourself) are $100 at Rath Racing, $175 at LoneStar.  Seems the cost varies substantially depending on who makes them.  I'm fairly certain I've seen them for the yfz for less than $100??
