powermaddd400ex

looks good. but whats up with those shocks? those arent the stock yfz shocks cause yfz shocks have piggyback rezzies.

thanks for link mwke im so happy to have it back, they got the engine done way quicker than i expected. i havent had the chance to ride it yet, but im going to try to ride it around the house tommorow afternoon.

well my baby is back! the dealer cam through and paid for all the parts and shipping so all i have to pay is labor, so we took em up on that deal. they bored the cyclinder 25thousandths of an inch, can anyone tell me what that is equivalent in CC's? im thinking around a 406. anywho its back and ready to ride! cant wait to break in my engine

im pretty sure thats the shiftfork going out. a bad shift fork can cause damage over time if its not caught. so i would look into it.

:bf_rasta: we're thur

your son is lucky scott, I have to beg my dad to help me work on my quad and come riding with me congrats on the new toy

ohh my bad blonde moment well i hope your pops gets his tools back.

sorry to heat that bot, hope yall find your belongings. the worst thing you can do a guy. steal his quad

just the front. the rear is only one inch narrower than the front now with my 20x11x9 razrs. besides i like the rear narrower than the front.

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

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.

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.

correct. the cost of parts are only 350 bucks and thats with sending the cyclinder to be honed for a 416. so as long as my dad doesnt mind helping me ,which im sure he wont, me and him are going to do it.

yea a couple guys on exriders told me about it awhile back. its doesnt strech nearly as fast as the stock 400ex cam chain.

welcome to the site! i see you have a yfz...have you had any troubles outta it?

yessir the crf cam chain fixes that problem. and i was thinking just thinking a 87mm bore and stroke and 87mm cylinder.11:1 compression and maybe a stage 1 or 2 hotcam. and all the other neccsisties i stated in my previous post.

well the warranty people said they would take 300 off the 900 but thats still 600 bucks for me to pay for the dealer to do it. me and dad are thinking about doing it ourself and doing all the necessary mods for a 416...still havent decided. and then theres the chance of the ltr. like i said, its still to early to make desicions.

looks good buddy, my quad is a bi*** to start to. but in the warm weather its defiantly alot easier.

unfortunaly keeping my head up high ended up not working i just got a call from the dealer, and they said that i will need, new piston,rings,it needs to be bored, the cam chain is severely streched, and it needs to valve stems. the total is right under $900 bucks. and the warranty wont cover it because its "wear and tear". so now i guess ill take it to the warranty department and we will go over our case. how can a 2007 400ex burn up in 9 months? im pissed beyond belief right now :dammit::censored::soapbox::soapbox::soapbox::soapbox::soapbox:

i completely reliazed that. but on a 9 month old quad just sounds a little fishy. what can honda's reasoning be for a 9 months old quad needing a rebuild? other than a defected part which will be on hondas bill...not mine. what im saying is, there a people that ride the piss out of they're 400ex's and dont even maintain them and they last longer than my quad did. i will probbly be taking it over the dealers head, and get in contact with honda. there is aboslutly no excuse for a 9 month old 2007 400ex, to need a rebuild this early in the engines life, when it hasnt been ridden hard and has been maintained correctly.

we followed through with our part of the deal and didnt void the warranty, now its up them to hold up their part. but i wont know yay or nay until a couple days.

i saw robbies, i was laughing my arse off when the guy on the radio said. "robbie madison, you are the f*cking man"

nope, no pipe, no filter, no jets. the engine is 100% stock. i have never touched. that is why i opted to do my suspension first. because a pipe would void my warranty. so the only aftermarket stuff on my quad is suspension, and cosmetic.

ive heard of a screen on the 450rs but wasnt sure if they were on the 400ex. well i'll have to look into it whenever i get it outta the shop. thanks for the info wheeler

me to, sucks that i was the one to experience it. if i could go back 9 months, i wouldve picked that pretty white 450r before the 400ex if i saw this coming
