I have a 2002 400EX and took it out for the first time in months last weekend. It did ok in the beginning, but it would stall if I let off the gas. Then after riding for about an hour it would stall when I would accelerate. I am a newbie and have no idea what is wrong. It is all stock except for a K&N filter. Do I need to rejet it? Desert season is fast approaching so I need to get it fixed ASAP.

Desert season is over for the year and I need to store my quad in the garage till next season. I am not sure what the best way to store it is. Do I need to drain the gas? Should I do and oil change now or wait until right before my first ride next season? This is my first quad and I am learning as I go.

After my last trip the wire that connects to my battery broke off. It was connected to the part below (behind it, not the wires in the picture that are still attached). I am not sure what its called, but I think I need a new one. Does anyone know what it’s called or have any advice?

Hi Everyone! My name is Tiffany and I am a born and raised California girl. I live in San Diego with my fiancé and my baby is a 3yr old mutt named Copper. I have been going to the desert for years with friends, and that is actually how I got to know my fiancé, on a drive home from the desert. Before I was content hanging with the girls at camp while the boys went out riding, but after the last trip I got the urge to go out and ride too!!! So last week I bought an ’02 Honda 400ex and I am in love. I actually bought it off a guy that bought if for his wife. She hated it and never rode. Can you believe that?!!! She is crazy! I am a total beginner and I still have a little trouble shifting smoothly… but I know I will be keeping up with the boys in no time. And be prepared for some questions from me… there might be some stupid ones, but cut me some slack… I am a newbie.

Hi Ladies, I am new to the forum and to riding. I just bought a 2002 Honda 400ex and I love it. I went out riding for the first time last Sunday and I can't wait to get back out there on Saturday. My question is do you wear your wedding/engagement rings while riding? I just recently got engaged and I never take my ring off. It fits fine under my glove and I am wondering if anyone else has lost theirs or had a bad experience wearing it while riding.
