Hello all, I'm a new member to the forums but not so new to the riding game. After doing quite a bit of research I decided to pick up a used 400EX and trick it out rather than dumping the money into a new 450.
There seem to be quite a few experienced riders in this forum so I'm hoping I can get some decent feedback on what I've been planning.
I ride mostly at the dunes and in desert type environments, but also hit the mountain trails now and then and would like to start competing in QuadCross.
EXHAUST
FMF Power Bomb Header
FMF MegaMax Silencer
ENGINE
Wiseco 440EX Kit (installed professionally)
Edelbrock QwikSilver 440 Carb
HotCams Stage 2 Cam
Alba Racing CDI (Rev Limiter)
I was also planning on adding +2"W Front End and +2"L Rear Suspension. And of course dropping a tooth off the front sprocket, and maybe adding 1 or 2 to the back.
I guess my question would be, could this setup keep up with the big boys (YZF450, 450R, etc.) in a race setting?
So far I've only put money into Nerfbars and handlebars so I'm open to changing up my plan.. I just want the meaniest machine possible. :)
This is kind of long but if you took the time to read it and give me your input, I appreciate it. :)
