more problems with the ex

[sam the brave]

well i just talked to the deaer and the balljoints are shot
piston rings are shot
bearings in spindles are shot and he thinks the valve seals are shot to

[chucked]

sounds like either hes tryin to steal some money from you, or you ran the living piss outta that 400.

[sam the brave]

well the axel hub is lose
the front tires wobble a bit
and the rim hits the a arm on one side when u turn

[Aceman]

Don't you know when you see problems like these you're supposed to stop and fix them, not keep riding. And there is no way you wouldn't notice a front wheel wobbling considering your looking at the thing while your riding. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. <----You need that. It wouldn't hurt to jack your quad up every once in a while and see if there is any slop in your bearings. Like now, instead of just replacing front wheel bearings you have more parts to replace because you let the problem go. I have a feeling your going to spend a lot on your quad with your lack of maintenance.

the owner of the dealer ship said he is fixing the engine for free but i need to replace the bearins and balljoints my self and i dont see the tire when i ride i got fenders there
but i just thought it was a bent rim cus i did bend mine not to long ago

[DEAL]

You've had it like .. a month or two?
I've had no major problems with my 01 and I run the piss out of it.
I don't believe it.

[chucked]

i weigh 220, for the first year i had my bike I rode it every day for at least 2 hrs, weekends i would ride sun up to sun down, this is on the most rocky, unforgiving land to. I also rode wheelies like crazy and jumped and everything, ive replaced the bottom bushings in the front shocks, and 2 bushings in the rear linkage, thats it.

Or my 2000, th3 first year i had mine I rode it aboout 20 hours a week and never had those problem. Took about a year for my axle bearings to be bad enough to get replaced. And there usually the first ones to go bad.

i look over mine after every ride and there isnt even much to do on it. just make sure its in good condition.

[Martin Blair]

if you dont do any mantinece at all, oil change, especially after break in, or anything you dont deserve that damn bike, and should be shot for neglecting it.

I havent had any problems with my 02 ex and i race it in xc, hit trees, flodded it with water, all kindas of crap, not one problem.

[Guy400]

sam the brave, didn't you destroy your Warrior too?

As the others have said, preventative maintenance is a good thing to practice.

[brian-250]

you gotta really REALLY suck at riding or just run that thing on the rev limiter in 1st all the time.:huh



hell my 400 has 4 years or hard *** riding racing on it, 1 shorted battery and 1 bent tie rod, all fixed before it moved, you gotta take care of that 400 man.:grr:

[Cody_300ex]

Hell my 1996 300ex just had its first top end job last june!! And it was only smoking on start up! Never replaced the wheel bearings, or ball joints eathier!
