mine is a 465 stroked big bore, geard at 14 front 36 back, I duno, but it feels like it goes 90 mph in fifth gear over loose dirt, it excellerates like a rocket, pulls the front wheels off the ground in second and third gear, how fast is your 400?

i just got my four Stroke tech 500ex kit put back together and it is a monster. i havent changed the gearing yet so it is insanly quick. the torque is unreal. i smashed on it in 5th and all it did was spin the tires in the grass and on the dirt road. i am taking it to the drag strip this weekend and see what it runs in the quarter mile and all. wanna race? anybody?

ya my 8 yearold sister had one of those, this thing would walk all over my ex the only problem was we could never keep the swing arm on that little 90 cause if you got on the gas hard it would just rip that crap right off:huh :huh :huh

HAHAHA, your kidding, after all that id expect you to be able to pull it up in 4th easy,
my bike is bone freaking stock, i can nearly hold the front end up in 3rd on SAND. stock gearing.
i cant quite do it, i have to click 2nd to 3rd to keep it up in 3rd.

your stocker is nothing like a stroked big bored 465, keep dreaming, yeah righhhht, pullin' wheelies in third gear in sand with a stock 400, yeah my modded thumper does 175 mph too...

I would be glad to race ya...want me to run trick or alcohol?

heh...if i mash mine in 5th on wet grass it wheelies...and if you can run alcohol in your stock carb its not using much gas is it?:huh

Right after I get done hacking your network... j/k Ok I went overboard to Ricky g, but see where I'm coming from. This 465 stroker should pull very hard & to say it's now doing 2nd & 3rd gear wheelies, whoopie sheyat, any stocker can do that.... Matter of fact never mind arguing on this board is a waste of time...

Happy Flaming ~ Hawk

brotha, i live right nexts to Glamis, stock 400's run like a pig in the sand, you ain't goin' to pull wheelies at glamis in third gear, my 400 was stock, once( for 5 minutes), along time ago, I knowz whats I'm talkin' 'bout.

When my 400 was stock I could ride wheelies up to 4th in our local sand pit. It aint hard.

mikeboone
07-25-2002, 05:53 PM
I think there are two very different ideas going on here. First, a wheelie can be "pulled" just from the power of the motor. You do not pull back on the bars and try to get it to come up-- having the power to pull the front end just with upshift from 2nd to 3rd is a different story. The other is actaully pulling back on the bars while giving throttle and pulling the fron up for a wheelie. Any stock 400ex can do this in first and second (maybe third) giving enough force exerted and enough weight shifted towards rear.

07-25-2002, 06:42 PM
"What time is recess" LOL LOL LOL ...good one dude! LOL


Anyways, with my stock gearing with the mods printed below...I did the math with the extra 1,000 RPMs and mine would prob max out around 73-74 MPH.:D

Yeah, bro, I was refering to unforced wheelies where the engine does the work, not a yank the handle bars as hard as you can when you hit a bump type wheelie, according to that calculater, my quad should hit 81mph, with different tires and gearing I could see mid 90's.

Do you even know what your trans. reduction and stuff is?
And no, i would not recommend revving your quad to 9500 RPM with an unlimited rev either.Thats crazy, Ill believe it when i see it dude.

FullBore52
07-25-2002, 10:21 PM
ok, so yours does it in second and third with a stock swingarm correct? And it does that on asphalt or dirt? Ok, mine will try to loop out in first on asphalt, try to loop out in second, but not so quick, it pulls the front tires about 30 inches in third, about 18 inches in 4th, and it pops up a little in 5th...on a +2 swingarm on asphalt. On dirt, the Razrs are about like slicks...no hook up AT ALL! Now when its run on alcohol...It is almost uncontrollable...but thats alright. Oh yeah, for you guys about to call BS on me, I dont care if you believe it over the net or not, you will believe it if I ever get a chance to line up against you.

Ricky G, hey you live in brawley, great, maby ill show you my near 3rd gear whellies down there sometime, im 4 hours away, i ride octillo wells alot, when its cooler out there anyways
the thicker sand is easyer to pull whellies in.


but mikebone is right, i wasnt clear enough, but at octillo wells i can nearly pop it up in 3rd and hold it on the sand highways.
and thats not hitting a bump eather.

glamis, octillo wells are 2 different types of sand completely, very thick at octillo, but the thicker sand makes for more grip, theres a couple of sand hills that are softer than the rest of the sand.

between dirt, octillo wells sand and glamis sand, octillo wells is easyer to try and get it up in 3rd, just the way the ground is.

Ummm the 800 r.a.v.e. Rotax motor in a quad, stock they'er 110 hp, modded like mine about, 150 hp, how did you get a clutch hooked up they have no clutches on them, and they need allot of water to keep them cool, not very feasible putting one in a quad.

I can get a wheelie up in 3rd gear on my stock 300EX, no lie, just pull back on the bars and punch it, the engine has to be in the right rpm range, it cant be boggin but almost about to wind out.

NO ACTUALLY "Ricky G" your wrong, very wrong. They take ROTAX HEADS, change the stud pattern on a banshee bottom end, bolt the heads to the shee bottom end, and then they have one of the fastest banshees on earth, BAR NONE! it wont be 200hp on gas, but that number is possible on alcohol/nitro methane. They are commonly called crankensteins\/

K and K Radials on Douglas .190 (+3+2)- 20x11x9 Turf Tamers- Polished Throttle Cover- 3-1 Inch Holes In Air Box- Smith Grips

now how many hps did the headlight covers give you cause i've been thinking about getting a set, J/k

i'm not flaming you but the mods in your sig arnt goin to give you anymore top speed with those i'm willing to bet your still doing 65 but with a better bottom end with the pipe and filter which can also add to your top end but not enough that you can go 75:huh

Realllly, the stock rotax head is the first thing to go when cranking up the hp on a 800 rotax engine, we run Miller, or ADA heads with interchangable domes, I can't see how a stock rotax head on a shee bottom end is going to do squat, 800 rotax's run 89mm pistons, so how will this head work on a shee? even Mcdizzy is only able to get 130 hp out of a shee engine, your fact ain't straight.

i got my friend to follow me in his truck. i have stock gearing and a stock revlimiter. i also have a sparks exhaust , jets , and a K&N filter( yes i know this adds no top end). but one thing that i do have that affects top end is 18" holeshot mx's. i got my 400 runnin untill the revlimiter was kicking in in 5th gear with him right behind me in his 02 chevy. he said i was going 68 mph which suprises me. anyway , i can stab the gas and pick the tires up in second gear easily and 3rd gear is fairly easy to do by sliding thru a corner in 2nd , then hitting 3rd and easing on the gas then it pulls the front tires. popping the clutch in 3rd makes it even easier. i can straight up roast a gutted 69 nova with a 350 in it in a drag race untill my top end. and an 02 chevy with a v-6 isnt a match either. these are the only cars i have raced and i would like to see how it does against some faster cars like mustangs/camaros. but that street sure is hard on my mx's :devil

Highly modded 400's can see between 9,500 and 10,000rev's easily, that's why all the work on the valves, rocker arms, valve guids, cam, and springs are needed, it's a good idea to have a Carillo rod too.

kicken250x........... im afriad ur quad wont do 70 miles an hour just being bored and with a 14 front tooth because boring does just about nothing to ur top end just makes you get up there faster and you will gain a couple mph with ur 14 front sproket say 5 i would only think you would be able to do 60 i may be wrong just my guess

I am running the 170 main, but I am right about sea level. The higher you get the leaner you will need to run. Seems to be running good for me, but I do need to pull my plug & check it out.
