Im seriously concidering throwing a crf motor in my 400ex.
heres why, now I have a nicely set up 400ex. suspention is how I like it, many thousands spent on this quad. I Realy want a 450 to be competeitive racing. I do fine on the mx track, But on the holeshots I eat major dirt. My baby 400 just isnt cutting it anymore. I have just about anything/everythign done to my motor. I dont want to just sell this quad, and go buy a new 450r because It wouldent have the suspention that my 400 has now, I woud have to spend thousands to get it set up. shocks, axle, a-arms ext...
So I was thinking of selling my 416, this motor has about 15 hours on it scence I went throu the entire motor. This motor has thousands of dolars of work done to it. I should be able to get 1200 for it right? thing has serious balls for a 400 will strech your arms out.
I read up that JB racing sells a crf conversion. Anyone know if they sell a kit. I'm a capible welder, steel, aluminum, u name it.
lets say swaping motors costs me 3000. Just a guess, mabie someone can let me know how acurate I am.
I sell my motor for 1200$ lets say.
aftermarket aluminum oil tank for 100$
39mm fcr carb for 200$
cdi for 30$
lrd full exaust system 200$
thats 1,270$.
a lot less than selling my whole quad for 4,500 which wouldent hapen. and buying a 450r that has competitive suspetion for 7,000. Im still doing good..
