ridingred Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 exriders.com has a plethora of 400ex information. If you have any 400 questions i'm sure most guys here still have some knowledge on that machine. I personally worked on the 400's for 4 years before i moved up to the 450.

Guest Phantom Z Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 450r is just in the name, yes the founders here are 450r enthusiasts but we want ALL makes/models/sizes to come and enjoy and contribute!! If you find good information on other sites for your 400 please do NOT hesitate to copy it over and bring your 400 buddies with you. ATV riders have to work together the more riders we have the more information we'll gather :thumb: Quote
Guest Deven Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Owned a 400ex for a long time as did I think many on here. Many still own them and can help you get your question answered. Quote

nuckinfuts Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I'm going to be rebuilding mine here before long. I let a friend ride it out at the dunes a little while ago and it ran all day on pump gas sounding like a rattle can :twak: So it blew the head gasket and needs to be decked to flatten the head surface and may I'll do some port work to it as well. It's been a great bike but little too much compression for pump gas. Quote http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/450c01f25139ab7ef7d638c0209599ef.png

nuckinfuts Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 11.5:1 wiseco, WB cam. Years ago it was resurfaced by a local shop that appears to be done with a d-a sander of some sort back in '03. I put a new gasket on it for this last weekend trip and it didn't even attepmt to seal. I need to find out the safe limits for decking the head. If I need anything I'll let ya know! It'll be a while before I get around to working on it as it's being stored in Ut. But I sure do appreciate it! Quote http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/450c01f25139ab7ef7d638c0209599ef.png

nuckinfuts Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 The 400's are great bikes I still have 2. Perfect to loan out with out worry. Unless the loanee puts pump gas into it when it should be 50-50 mix! Quote http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/450c01f25139ab7ef7d638c0209599ef.png
ridingred Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 did your 11:5:1 really need high octane nuckin? i have a 11:1 426 that runs 93 no problems. Quote 05, 13:1 JE, 02 crf cam, full hmf, razr tt tires, rath sway bar, lowering link in the rear, triple rate rebuilds on front.
nuckinfuts Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Only during the summer months but our premium pump is 91. During winter months it'll run pump gas all day but in 80°+ it'll start knockin so it usually gets a 60:40 mix, 50-50 max.
