I truly hope this exp doesn't turn you away from from Honda. I truly think you got a lemon.

well in a way it does and in another way it doesnt.

i wont buy another new honda again. but theres a chance ill buy a used trx450r later on since im boring the 400ex.

im done with honda's stealerships. im happy with their products just the rider suport and customer service left alot to be desired for.

That is just your dealership. Mine has bent over backwards for me. They are a ma and pop shop so to speak. Family owned. They even have a pic of me racing hanging in their store.

well maybe its just the south cause every honda dealer here are complete as******. with the exception of one. but they are 3 hours away.

the suzuki and yamaha dealers are awesome down here. my buddy completly broke his swingarm and brake housing on his rear end of his z400 and they took care of it free of charge. and this was the owner mistake, not dealers like in my situation.

thats why i said ill never buy honda unless its used or from ritchie powersports(the only good honda dealer down here). only new quad i will buy is ltr450 or yfz450r.

i wouldnt recommend either YFZR or LTR.

they are both too wide for your riding i think.

dont you ride trails?

yea i actually race XC with a guy that has +3's on his z400 and he gets around just fine. i have +2's on the 400 right now and it is awesome. i will never like a stock width bike the way i like my 400 with +2's.

besides the ltr and yfz450r is 50 inches wide my 400ex is 48.5inches wide so it wont be a huge difference.

heres a picha of it to show the width

      My friends KQ 300 starts fine and runs, as soon as you put it in gear and try to accelerate its bucks and farts like crazy, not moving... I cleaned carb and it worked good for 1 day... now back to same problem.... could it be such as a bent valve????

      So I've got a Hisun 550 that I was doing some work on that required removing the CVT and it's housing. Upon attempting to reinstall the clutch, sheaves, etc, I found that the belt no longer fits - it's far too wide. None of the parts have been replaced, they're all OEM. Exactly the same parts as what I took off a few weeks ago.
      To be more specific, my belt is 1.25in wide, but the gap between the clutch and the primary sheave is only 7/8in wide. I'll include a few photos to explain.
      Has anyone ever experienced such a bizarre problem? Any help at all would be appreciated, I've been stuck on this for a month. I'm open to just about any suggestion.

      Bucking started about a month ago and works ok after 1/2 hour warmup.  Today while working on it i discovered that if i put the ignition switch in LIGHT position it runs fine right from the start.
      I'm stumped!  Any idea why this could be?

      This is something I'm extremely curious about. Has anyone ever attempted to buy a quad (or any other vehicle) from an impound lot? I've always wondered if this could be a bargain, or a waste of time. Google searches do turn up some helpful results. Looks like the state of NJ holds auctions online which I'd be a bit hesitant about.
       
      My online searches haven't really turned up any results of anyone buying an ATV this way. I'd be really curious if anyone tried this, or knows someone who has. I've actually found a couple pages with online auctions for my state, but none had ATVs.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.
