I out ran a kazuma falcon 110 with my daughters e-ton 90 two stroke. The other week my friend came over with another buddy of his and we went riding during the ride the buddy was talking how he could keep up with me and thought his 07 Honda 400 or 4 something 2wd utility quad was as fast as my prairie 650. I hurt his feelings did I not only out run him I also climb a few hills in 2wd he couldn't make it 1/2 way up. His is one of those sideways motor shaft drive Hondas. Then I took down my friends grizz 600

it was prolly a 420..... a friend of mine has one he thought it would beat my 400ex lol:laugh:

I have a ? too. If say I was able to purchase a new atv say a 450 i dont know Yamy, Honduh, Kiwi, Ding Dong Motors whatever. Would I be so amazed by the power difference? I have never ridden anything bigger than 400cc but I read alot of people who step up to a 450 blow the doors (nerf bars?) off of other quads. Is that just fish stories and bench racing or what?

I have driven 500cc and up 4x4s but thats not what im asking. Im only referring to sport quads

ya but it all depends on the mods and stuff..... i have never owned a 450 but i have drove them and those arent just tall tales u r hearin....... the yfz to me wasnt short of power but not my style...... the trx 450 i drove is the fastest 450 ive ever been on..... but never underestimate a 400ex because of size and all they r a one of a kind

450s have a very good reputation as far as power goes!!:yes:

I grew up on a yammy semi manual shifter. So when im not paying attention I upshift or downshift without the clutch on my 400EX. The owners manual says major damage will result but I havent noticed it yet

:confused:

ya its not good for them i have only not used the clutch twice and tht was because i was holdin on to something...... if u do it alot it will cause problems!!!!!!:yes:

Yes and no. The way i look at it is when you re-machine a factory engine, carb jetting etc. you will have inequalities from the origional factory (stock) expectations. So every time i either mod and engine for myself or somebody else i always explain to them that there will be changes (not problems). Basically yes there are overheating problems on the 440s too, but thats only if you ride a z440 like it is a z400. 2 completely different bikes now.

I would think the Z would be better since the EX is aircooled !!

True, liquid cooled leaves more room for failure. The way i see it is stock bikes are perfect for exactly what they are made for, leisure, enjoying the sport, and just getting out and going. Once you are truly commited to modding that bike for performance there is no in between, all in or all out. that bike is then like no other and will have all unique issues.

      So I have an 89 Yamaha moto 4 250cc and when I ride it, itll get hot after like 10-15 mins and then will just die and turn off.
      It's has new carb rebuild, new air filter, new battery, new spark plug so I don't think it's a crack in the spark plug
      Can anyone help me?

      Hey everybody,
       
      My proficiency is with Hondas and Yamahas make me see RED!
       
      This bike is my brother in law's, it has 1199 miles on it and went from running great to dead with no start. Every once and a while it will start and sputter for 2 seconds. It is extremely sporadic when it fires but never runs for longer than 3 seconds. 
       
      Here is where we sit:
      Brand New Fully Charged battery
      Carb was cleaned with air hose and carb cleaner then into the ultrasonic cleaner with Aircraft aluminum cleaner
      New Shindy Carb kit (made in Japan version)
      Cleaned out petcock and gas tank
      New 93 Non Ethanol Gas
      New Spark Plug
       
      It gets a spark through the spark test light every time
      Bluish white spark
      When holding the spark plug 1/4" - 3/8" away from head it will jump and spark to the head
      Good Compression
       
      Here are the readings:
       
      Pickup Coil 519 Ohms (range 459-561)
      Charging Coil 266 Ohms (range 270-330)
      Lighting Coil 0.700 (range 0.702-0.858)
      Spark plug Cap 10.58 Ohms (10kohms
      Ignition Coil Primary Coil 0.5 ohms (range 0.18-0.28 ohms)
      Ignition Coil Secondary Coil 8.20 kOhms (range 6.32-9.48 kOhms)
       
      Would y'all think stator and pick up coil, rectifier or CDI are the culprit?

      My king quad 700 runs rough when cold then won't start some times but not often when it's hot. And occasionally smoke's a lot when it's cold I'm guessing that's rings but I'm worried unless it's causing the other problems
       
       
       
      All help is appreciated thanks

      Has anyone else had an issue on older king quads where the oil would leak from the top of the head (due to a failed gasket) and drip onto the hot exhaust? Mine got so hot one time it caught fire. Just wondering if this is a common issue, as I've seen the same thing happen on multiple bikes that were the same model.
