I recently bought a 1999 400 ex for $500. It is in good condition but has been rode hard. I was switching out the exhaust on it, and when detaching the header pipe. I ended up 3 for four on breaking the bolts. How much of a problem have I gotten myself into??
Also I recently sent it into a local machanic for some valve noises. He adjusted the valves but it still has the noise. It still has good reponse and power. Any suggestions?? He thinks the head is gone and I'm not to great with engine diagnostics. After him sitting on the bike for 2 months, and giving me the run around. I went down and pulled it out of his shop . Now I'm thinking of just running it the way it is.
Would mystery oil do any good for this??
