I was lookin at that a few months back.What i though you could do is get an XR400 side case and use it but you would not be able to use the nerfs with heal guards and you would have to cut you fender.(or so i heard)

How would you be able to incorporate the kicker gears into the side of a 400ex engine? I know use the XR case, but what about internal parts?

You sure it wasn't a hybrid?

I think the only difference is the clutch basket, 400ex has no gears on on, and the left side case. It will kick backwards though, unless you find a way to machine another gear in there.

it was either a xr400 bottom end or somekind of hybrid. Whoever said you have to have the whole xr400 bottom end is correct, you can't just put a side case and kickstarter on.

My friend said he saw a 400 with a kickstart that kicked forward also, so im curious if there is any way to do this. thanks for the info
