I just finished putting my 400 back together this weekend...

Now all i have to do is put my new rims and tires on and my new air scoops on this week.... I am planning on getting white maier racing plastics with a carbon fiber hood.


let me know if you can see the pics and feel free to bash it..

how much did it cost for your 426? im thinking of doing that for mine also how does it compare to draging a 450r?, by the way i like the frame

It doesn't cost too much to do a engine build when you do a lot of the work yourself. I raced a stock 06 450R right after i finished building the engine. I hadn't even jetted the carb or bought a rev box when i raced him... He got the jump on me just because i hadn't done much dragging before, but in 3rd and 4th i walked him down and 5th left him.... But i also have a stage 2 cam


As i said i am looking for suspension, i am thinking about getting 450R front shocks!

ww228king
05-10-2006, 04:23 PM
look on ebay or on here for some good deals...all together you will prolly spend about $350 on parts and gaskets then about another $80 for the bore job ...so all total about $450 then do the work yourself.

05-10-2006, 04:59 PM
ya ebay has alot of stuff...i have to agree

EX Stud
05-10-2006, 07:38 PM
i bought mine from a member on here and he sold me the stage II cam and the wiesco 426 piston for 225 shipped to my door. Then i paid 60 for the boring of the cylinder... about 35 for some gaskets...

Thanks for the replies guys...i will post up some more when my rims and scoops come in. then when i get the new plastics, and 450R shocks!

Im still tryin to find out why people dont buy FULLBORE racing fenders.. I bought a whole plastics front and rear for about 474.00... I know Maeirs are like 375 but fullbore looks 3 times as good and much more shine... black full fenders will put that 400 to its level... blue will also look good for fenders..

Nice quad the scoops really bring the quad out

EX Stud
06-05-2006, 10:07 AM
My girlfriend laughed when i rode up with those scoops on. She thought i was kidding. She wants me to take them off!! I just keep telling her that they are FUNCTIONAL....LOL

looks good, did u go with a heavy duty rod? im about to put in a 416 and either a 12:1 or 11:1 piston, but im not sure if i will need a rod, or stronger studs or what not...

and is that sparks stainless or ceramic?

EX Stud
06-05-2006, 04:32 PM
nope the only thing you have to do is get you cylinder honed out to fit the piston. The only one you need studs for is a 440. My sparks is a ceramic coated X-6!

let me know if you need some more info.

How's the sparks pipe???
I can get one for cheaps, but I want bottom and top end. I was told that the sparks pipe is only top end. Do you get more bottom too???

EX Stud

I love my sparks, it is all around good pipe. You could get the Sparks X-4 instead of the X-6. It is for the lightly modified engines...

Why do you want to take off fast? MX or what, you could just drop a tooth on your sprocket

I ride on trails so I want to keep my top speed but I also want power on tap. I also like lugging it instead of revving it.

just stick a pipe on it and ride...your thumb will control the rest

if you are not racing it , then what differance is it gonna make .....all the pipes gonna do on a trail is make noise....
