Can 400ex's be competitive?

[shano]

Well like I said I might be getting an ex, and I decided I wanted to keep racing a few races, But I just dont want to get my bum handed to me, I race against modded raptors, z400's, yfz's 450r's and you know the type.

It has a full hmf, bars and a few lil things here and there, I plan on 416. a cam and other lil things. It will have tripple rate ohlins, 18's in the back and 20's in the front.

Think I could do decent? With my cannibal I usually placed top 5. (when i finished the races lol)

ya they can still be competitive.. no question..

rider skill will determine how you place though!

yes. they can still be competitive. but remember the 450's will still pull u on the corners and uphills.

prob not gonna get a top 5 but if thats what you want

Well im a good B class rider and at my district i would get top 5 or 6 in the 4-stroke class. The holeshot kills me ( i was running stock 397cc) after the holeshot i would try and pass over doubles and tables where i could scrub and fly low but clear the jump

Why not????

I had no problem getting 2nd in my last GNCC race against 30+ New 450's....:scary:

oo ya ex's can be competitive. Last week i raced, there was a bunch of YFZ's and a few 450r's. There was also 2 Z-400's. My ex only has a wiseco 416 hotcam stg 2 and a exaust and i took a 5th. Then a few weeks back i took a 4th

I raced last weekend very muddy harescramble I was in 1st B class till I had a fuel delivery problem. (vent tube clogged with mud).

What kind of racing you do?

[shano]

Mostly mx and sx... We'll see what happens when I get a 400ex.:)

I think 400ex's are still competitive in mx but less than they use to be. The new 450 are lighter and more powerful. But a good rider makes up alot. Tim Farr on a blaster could still kill me evan if I was on a 450.
