I have a 400ex and I race the Worcs series which is I guess best put a mixture of MX and XC. I have the Ishock i5500 full front suspension kit and absolutely love it.

I also had Ishock revalve my rear shock for my ride style and weight which made a tremendous difference!!

You can check out there setup at

If you call them directly Brad is awesome!

I would also put a pipe on it, jet it, air filter (K&N), Killswitch if you want to race. Nerf Bars are also a must! Good set of tires makes a world of difference as well.

Then all you have to do is get out there and hit the throttle and hold on!

I forgot to mention an ignition or CDI box. Makes a pretty descent difference on the 400ex.

If you don't already have one get an aftermarket fuel/air screw as well. Our fuel screws are not the easiest to adjust and since our quads are not fuel injected you will need to adjust your mixture if you change in elevation. They are worth the money.

Nothing else is coming to mind other than practicing and getting comfortable on it.
