keep up with 400ex's

[mech_head6]

What would I have to do to be able ot keep up with 400ex's on my 300ex? I don't think im going to be getting a new quad so... I'm looking for mods that will keep the reliability of my quad.

yea thats a whole nother story.....:o shocks,arms,better tires,axle,longer swinger,rear shock,and the list goes on and on

I hate to say this, 'cause we own one, but the 300 can be a money pit if you're trying to make it compete with even a stock 400. The only real reason to do it is for class or if you really need reverse.

If your gonna spend the money to make it keep up you may as well just buy a 400.

i had to much money into my 300 and it was to slow and not powerful enough,so i moved to 400ex,i had elka shocks,burgard swinger/arms/rpm axle,everything on my 300:o

Just buy my 400ex. It's up for sale man, come on...sell your EX and I'll give you mine for $3500...that's with the +2+1 a-arms and shocks, and maybe for a little more I'll throw in the HiPers and Kendas!

dude i want those hipers toadz yea man i had a 250ex i waited and traded it to my brother for his recon then sold the recon and used money that i had saved up from the summer before and bought my 400 used and im fixing it up next summer will be suspesion but definalty look for a used 400 i got mine for 2500 a little high but i knew the guy good friend of my dads (and i knew he needed the money because they wrecked their car thats why he had to sell it)

there right, but really it all comes down to what you want, beause when its lall said and done motor work, suspension all cost the same for any bike out there so eventually you'll have a bunch of money wraped up in any quad you buy. a gthunder 350big bore, full race port, hi rev cam and 400ex carb will smoke a stock 400ex and run right with a piped/air filter/jetted one. mod whatever quad you like and stop worrying about catching up with the next big thing!

[Rootar]

i agree i just personally wanted to go bigger

[bradley300]

exactly what i'm saying, you had reasons to witch so you did, but if he likes his 300ex, let him mod it. personly i like the smaller quads alot, you dont see alot of them at the races anymore so its nice to be on something a little different. i had a 350ex and now have a blaster thats wicked, bout to start motor work too and i couldnt be happier

I couldn't agree more! I have a sweet X, and still get people who say sell that thing and buy the 400. If I wanted a 400 I would own one, they are a dime a dozen in these 450 days! But if your not comfortable on a quad, you won't ever be fast on it, and riding ability is half the race if not more, I know my x inside out and have no prob racing with the bigger bikes at the locall tracks.

Enough rambling, Simply pick a quad you like and feel comfortable on and make it scream! ;)
