[440EXandLT-R450]

Hey, I am new and I got a 440EX and a LT-450 and I decided to join these forums and Get to know more about my machines. I have a white brothers Exhaust (R4 Or something like that for it), BBK, Handlebars, and alot more of stuff but it is not on the top of my head at the moment and since the 'Zuki is brand new it has absolutly 0 stuff on it.

Well you choose a good site, there is plenty of info on these forums, whether you search for it just ask questions, pretty much someone on here will know something about the 400ex at least, and the people on the LT-R450 section should be able to help you with the new quad. Hope you enjoy the site.

Well I was thinking about getting about 200 dollars worth of parts for the 400 and I don't know what I need to get and I need to figure out what I need... Would you know what some good websites to buy stuff is at... thanks alot I appreciate it. I also heard that the way to properly break in a new quad is to Have 10 Hours of non-full throttle, Is that really needed???

This site has me convinced...
How To Break In An Engine:

Heat cycles arent necessary if you are riding it, they are only necessary when on a dyno because the engine/radiator isnt getting enough airflow past it to cool it down.

There are a number of links all over this site for parts. There is also a sales section if you are interested in buying parts off people who post on these forums. What kind of riding do you do with the 400ex?

[440EXandLT-R450]

I do EVERYTHING on the 400.. Trail riding in mountains, track riding

just leave that 400 stock(maybe pipe it and jet it), you have the 450 for hauling ***.

the 400 is way far from stock just to mutch to list at the moment.
