2002 Honda 400ex - Knocking

Recommended Posts

Hello, new to Quad crazy. I'd like to say thank you for having me. I bought a 02 honda trx 400 ex for $200 with 4 extra very nice ITP rims and tires for the dunes and 2 stock rims with drag rear paddles. didn't run. got it running. They owner before me said it has a big bore kit in it. Does that mean it's been bored .040? or could it be any sizes bore kit? And if it is .040 over. is it a 440? I've seen a 416 a 426 on the forum. so I'm not really sure of the size difference between stock engines and bored engine when there bored out. I'm at this point right now. bought a rebuild kit for the carb. On theses engines what would cause the engine to knock? A buddy sold me the quad and it was his sons so he didn't know what was wrong with it. just that it didn't run. I'm hoping to get a little help from the forum. how would u go about trying to figure out what is wrong. Would the bored out kit cause the motor to knock. It smokes kinda white sh blue smoke. I was also told the the connecting rod is pressed to the crank. if this is true can the connecting rod be removed from the crank to replace just the connecting rod or do I have to replace both? i'd like to rebuild just the top end. I'm a small guy only weighing 125lbs don't really need a bunch more HP. But what ever HP parts are in it. I'm going to try and replace them with the same. what rebuild kits would u use?Never rebuilt one before this will be my first. There seems to be a whole bunch of racing upgrades on this quad. The axles are even longer for better handling. Thanks everyone I'm new to all this. Thanks for reading all my questions!!!I want to ride real bad. Cant weight!!! Thanks again for having me and all your help!!! Thanks Brad

      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.

      Hi all, from Virginia here. This winter I bought a old Atv to tinker with and have really enjoyed it. Thanks for this forum.

      Hey all,
      I need some input on a problem I'm having with my Kodiak 400 that keeps fouling plugs. First off, I've done a lot of work to this thing, most of it all in good fun. Brake work, cv joints, u joints, carb kit, checked valve lash, compression good, changed all fluids, etc... My problem is it keeps fouling plugs very quickly. I can put a new (manual recommended plug) in and it starts right up, runs great, idles great, picks up good. Doesn't stutter at all. I ride it for 1/2 a mile, it cuts off and won't start back up. I let it sit overnight thinking maybe it got to hot. Try to start it the next day, nothing. Put a new plug in, fires right up, runs great for another 1/2 mile or so, dead. The plugs come out and look carbon fouled with dry black soot on them. I don't know if this is a fuel/air mixture problem or a ignition problem. A couple of things that I noticed is I never need to pull the choke out to start it. Also, when it starts it automatically idles high like an automatic choke would do, then it comes back down to a good idle. Also I noticed that the air/fuel mixture needle valve screw does nothing when I adjust it in or out. I can screw it all the way closed and the motor still runs and idles good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost leaning to a ignition breaking down the plugs??
      Thanks!
