The 400ex motor came from a dirtbike , while the 300ex motor came from a utility machine.
The 300 also has reverse , alot of useless plastic crap on the bars, a steel swingarm. The 300 also has a square tube frame (dunno if that makes a diffrence.)

Are you sure that the engine came from a utility machine? Well reverse, metal gas tank, thicker frame all make it heavier. It also wasn't designed for being a high-performance atv, it was more of a casual trail machine. Not a fast thumper for the mx track.
