I have a ZR 500 and it is a pig on gas and it is ALLWAYS broke! I was thinking about gettina mxzx or a mxz and selling my zr. Will I be happy with this machine?

Wa it the top speed, hp, porformance, maintence like on the mxz and the mxzx like, and any other things u can think of.

Do they have Electric Start or Reverse?
Wa size track do they each have.

Do anyone have any pic of any of these machines.

THANKS!!

99 Mxz 600. 600 Twin in a ZX chassis with mechanical reverse. Jetted w/ factory 280's getting 13 mpg. About 104 at the crank.

I want some thing that is easy on gas and is low maintaince but has lots of power and a nice bit of top speed.

Any sugestions?

Needs to be a 380 or 440.

if ur goin wit a 440 get a sno-pro or the mxz. and if ur gettin a 380 u cud also go wit the mxz. my 500 is great on gas and plenty of power. great trail sled and still enough to go ditch bangin and mess around.

I think you could be satisfied with a Z440, they seem to go, dual carbs and a pretty strong engine, they whip my 370. you could get a Z440 sno pro fan, i'm sure it would rip, i dunno how reliable it woudl be though.

i am leaning toward a mxz 440. what do u guys think of that one. power, gas, maintence?
thanks

the mxzx 440 is a great sled... my friend has a 1997 with over 5,000 miles on it, and has only had to maintain things that he messed up by doing stupid things such as running into other sleds and such... it really rips on the trails from corner to corner... arctic cats arent worth it... the mxzx's also look awesome, and are built really solid...

I am goin with the mxz 380 enough power and i can get a 2004 brand new

McXrZa5s0h0 · 03-11-2004, 08:14 PM

well good luck wit ur sled but just a warnin if u wanna ride a little more aggresive dont go wit the 380 there really isnt that much power there. i wud up to a 5-6 lc.

Velislide · 03-12-2004, 09:23 AM

IMO I wouldnt get a 380 unless your around 12 years old? or like 5' tall lol. Arnt they REALLY small compaired to the size of a 583-600 chassis?

osmond_mark · 03-12-2004, 07:29 PM

michael9688 · 03-12-2004, 11:46 PM
