[oldsandman]

It had the stock toaster, hmf, trinity and wileyco. I had some other pictures of it a cannondaler.com don't know if they're still there.

[happyboy]

Where did you send it? There may be people close to them that could help out.

Yeah, go lump some heads... That's the nicest looking 'dale I've ever seen. Get this builder on the chopping block and maybe he'll own up and send your engine back:devil:

[norton]

i dont know anyone that owns a cannondale, what are their ups n downs?

[aroracer72]

UP's-----

*Lot of power
*Nowadays are really cheap to buy
*If built right super reliable
*Very neat designs external and internal
*Strongest frames ever made
*Unique
*SUPER close and supportive riding community


DOWN's-----

*If poor owner then quad will break constantly on you
*No rep power
*Not a ton of support for parts and what not(not as much as jap quads)
*Arnt made brand spanking new from head to toe anymore
*Have a widely known reputation for being junk...which is the opposite of the truth

[norton]

i wanna know what is it like to ride one? is it like poetry... hahaha
i just notice its more body than seat and its right over the wheels, and does it have efi? also where is the ideal place to ride one?

[norton]

it looks like it has no center of gravity for the rider to own and i dont like the engine it looks like a peice of plastic off a toy

but im still concidering gettin one over the raptor 700

[aroracer72]

Well there's two answers to what its like to ride one.....

1) With stock plastic and seat it ha a firm but soft seat(much like a 400ex)..and its ergonomics feel one of a kind. When your riding one the rider perspective feeling is awesome and unique.

2) With a 250r kit, it feels like a 250r. Basically it handles better then anything else ive ever ridden besides a full pro race ltr450. Very soft seat....low stance....and rides AWESOME(this is what i currently have)


Raptor 700's are great quads, but the cannondale also has EFI, stock has a 3.9 gallon gas tank(and doesnt stick up anywere), and is lighter and with mods faster/as fast. But ive seen some modded raptor 700's that put out a ton of power.

Chad

[04yfz450nj]

I think the cannondale is one of the best designed quads .yeah the cranks have problems but what 450 dosent. I have a yfz right now and wish I never sold my dale.

[exsweetie66]

My boyfriend and i had 2 cannondales. one of them being the pink one with the nmotion graphics at the beginning of the page. that was my bike. i have to say that that was one of the most comfortable, powerfully smooth bikes i've ever ever ever ridden. my bf had a full walsh elka cannondale. it was gorgeous, and he sold both of ours for CHEAP together, and we bought hondas. i love my honda because its more suited for me. but i still wish that i would've just re mapped my cannondale sometimes so it wasn't so torquey. He still says he misses his. they are amazing bikes...you want the holeshot, get a cannondale......or a honda....:D

[NikNacs67]

Hey exsweetie. I was THIS close to buying yours but the dang bank wouldn't give me a loan without some way of finding the value of it. I made a big deal about it for a while but I just went to the dealer and picked out a red '06 450R off the floor and love it. I'm trying to get somemore money together to build another Dale to race MX with since I can't get used to the feel of my 450 after being on a Dale for so long:D .

[exsweetie66]

We really love our hondas, but we do miss our dales. the hondas are considerably more reliable tho. atleast mine is, my boyfriends has the high compression piston and what not. i love my honda for the smooth power. i dont feel like its going to rip my arms off at the gates, but i have enough power to snag holeshots you know?

I modded it from a Z400 I think it was. Nothing was even close when I was looking for one to try, so I just decided to start cutting & welding.

Thats what I figured. Nothing seams close to fitting. Hey one more ? I just cracked my second ufo gas cap and was wondering what cap your using? Is there a problem using aluminum cap with the aluminum tank? Thanks usa

I use 2 rubber gaskets inside the cap and it's a Pro-Tec cap I believe. It's pretty sweet because it has a clear top so you can see the gas level without removing the cap.

[aroracer72]

At our dealer we call polaris's Pull-yur-***

Why?.....because theyve been known to be cheaply made. And KTM motors are unreliable...more so then cannondales.....weve had a few 07's back already for crank and bearing failures.

I've heard nothing but great things about KTM motors. Polaris makes some nice machines as well, If they get that outlaw figured out it will be a beast. Fact is, brand bashing is fairly retarded. Everyone has his/her preferences on what a machine should be, but I don't believe any machines are predominately worse or better than others. Usually, you get what you pay for. If a chinese quad costs $3000, that is probably what it is worth.
Every machine has it's problems and benefits, I think alot of it comes down to owner attention and maintenance. My ATK can sit for a month and it fires right up and runs great immediately, every time. But it's been that way with every single bike I've ever owned, and that's Honda, Yahama, Suzuki and ATK. I've had no problems with any of them.
Some years of certain brands do have defects, such as '03 Cannondales or a Raptor with the bad transmission, but unless you stick to particulars your argument lacks credibility and starts to sound like a rant. I can't wait to test ride an Outlaw 525, I might even buy one in a couple of years:D

If you had any problems with the KTM motor then it was your (the dealers) fault.

[2000ex]

Looks sweet, how long are those front Custom Axis? I was looking at the Texieira arms, but they required like a 20.5 inch shock. Did you have the shocks made, or just toss on the typical 19.5 inch axis? How do they perform?

[tedwilley]

Thanks.
I bought a used set of 19" shocks and had them lengthened and revalved by Axis. Ran about $700 plus the cost of the used shocks $500. They do not make a 20-3/4 shock normally. They are triple rate with zps.
They ride great! Teixeira is great stuff!

Due to the numerous problems with the machines, people resorted to making parts by hand, which is not cheap. And for what you pay to put a new piston, rings, and sleeve in one of those now....you can buy a good RELIABLE used 400ex.

For what you have in it, you could have three main name 450's....and not have to deal with the three stooges to get parts.

I just don't understand why someone would dump sooo much money in a majorly flawed, ill handling, underpowered 450 that hasn't been produced since 2003 was it?

[Eastcoast08]

Really? Hmm it is $150 for a new piston, sleeve, and rings for a stock Asso piston. A full blown race CP is in the $400 range for piston and sleeve. You must have really cheap 400ex's where you are from :rolleyes: For what you need to pay for a piston and bore job plus re-nikasil a cylinder for any other 450 machine, I think they are much MORE affordable.

[loons]

A new piston rings and sleeve are $150.

Last I checked, a 440 kit for a 400ex was double that. And then you still get smoked by a stock dale.


High performance parts are not cheap. But I had over $5,000 into my yfz motor, and don't have half of that into my dale motor. Including updates. And that also includes a big bore, high compression cp piston, and a titanaium big valve head.



Eastcoast,

I sent you a pm about the front end.

The stock ones are junk, why would you put the stock junk back in? And there is a unlimited supply of those? A piston, rings, sleeve kit is $450. Now pull your motor and send it out to one of the three stooges since you don't have the right tools to work on the engine, nor the engine mapping computer software and wire to hook up to the ECU....You wait 8 plus weeks to get your motor and ECU back and pay out $600 total for labor/shipping..... So 2-3 months have passed and your quad is still sitting there....FAIL!

And when the crank goes bad....what's your options? (can't wait to hear your response on this one)

I could go on and on and on......I've been there done that with Dales....got smart and sold it while it was still worth something.

[loons]

The stock pistons are junk?? You are high. The Asso pistons have proven to be the most reliable.

I built my own motor. I paid $34 for the special tools. an adapter for the head nuts, and a flywheel puller.

$290 for a power commander. No need for the special software anymore

Crank to be updated with the new bearing is $150. 8 days turnaround from crankworks.


You obviously got out before the problems were addressed.

BTW, my wife called, she wants her 400ex back. :p

[2000ex]

Sounds like someone got screwed and is a wee bit bitter. I feel bad for the people who got burned back in the day.

FAIL

[04yfz450nj]

jcv400ex have u ever rode a dale ill handling u got to be kidding they handle awesome.

[jcv400ex]

Oh yeah bearing update...that works greeeat!! I've forgotten more about Dales than ya'll will ever know.....

No, I never got screwed by anyone, I've owned my share of Dales, tried to race XC with one(couldn't make it a full year without problems) and I owned a shop where we sold Cannondales. I went down to the factory all the time, was there for the sale, worked with Maz, Quadshop, Winky, and Haydug on various deals....

On the handling part.....if you think the cannondale is a great handling machine, then you haven't ridden enough 4 wheelers.

So yes, I know all about Cannondales, didn't get screwed by anyone, I just got smart and got rid of the things before it wasn't more than just scrap metal on wheels.

And if you look back around '03, there wasn't a bigger supporter of Cannondale on this board than me. My original '02 Canninbal was purchased from Marcum's down in FLorida and I had it shipped to Pennsylvania, so you could say that i wanted one just a tiny bit.

[2000ex]

There have been a great deal of strides made since you sold your machines and unfortunately you still seem to think it is 2003.

So why are you still holding animosity towards a machine and the owners of these bikes that had its issues back in the early days that have since been resolved?

I have several that I race on a weekly basis setup for MX and XC respectively and have had zero issues mechanically. Power wise, I have no problem holeshotting the most built 450's and open class bikes out there. I just dont understand all of the negativity towards the machines

Well I'm glad you are the all knowing cannondale tech. I see where most of your problems came from just by this post. WINKY and HAYDUG. How did you like those re-angled injectors???

This could become a 100 page bash cannondale thread. That isn't necessary. How about we just say that you like what you like and I'm happy with my dale?

Why mess with old technology???? Why not run a main stream 450 that you can just go to a dealership to get parts?

And the kid started it with "they're as reliable as a 400ex and cheap to build" You can't tell me you agree with that....

Winky and Haydug didn't teach me a thing and neither one of them wrenched on my quad....
You mean the ones that looked like a 4 year old welded them in? yeah, seen them. Believe me, the Mods on Cannondale riders have kept the lid on their NUMBEROUS failed experiements and their own share of screwing people over...

[04yfz450nj]

I have had plenty of 4 wheelers yfz 450r banshee raptor an ridden 250rs predators z400s I dont know why people bash the motors when the yfz an 450r had motor problems 2.

[jesshamner]

Ok, I give you credit for knowing a little about the cannondale of the old days before we had what we have now.

All of your statements have since been proven false by our community. I remember you and and you haven't been around us for a long time. Also, you don't know me so don't be calling me kid.

I want you to know that I came from a 400ex to the Cannondale. I sold my 2002 400ex for $3200 and bought a brand new 2003 Cannondale for $3200 so there is one of your statements busted. Used Cannondales are about the same price as a used 400ex so that is wrong too.

You were already proven wrong on piston kits, sleeves, etc.

The stock Asso piston is proven and is defintely the most reliable piston today for the Cannondale. Its worlds better than the Wiseco and better than the CP.

So then you call the few mechanics stooges. I don't even know what to say to that. I mean seriously...why do you need to send a motor off to replace the topend anyway? LOL. Sounds like you know a lot. I have no desire to take a bottom end apart and I'm not really a mechanic but I can figure out that the Cannondale topend works the same as any other bike. Head, valves, cams, timing chain, piston rings....blah blah blah. It's not hard.

One of these so called "stooges" is a professional machinist by trade and does crank work. Not exactly inexperienced. Had he not entered the game, I might have felt the same way about Cannondales as you. But again you're wrong.

You can also get a Falicon although they have been proven to be less reliable than the aforementioned crank builder.

I think 5 years ago you might have known what you are talking about. Maybe even 3 years ago when Haydug still owned the site. But my friend you are completely wrong about this. You need to do some CURRENT research. You're more than welcome to give me a phone call and I'll help you along with it and point you in the right direction.

Yes the machine is getting old. It's old technology I guess even though the "main stream" manufacturers are just now adopting the same technology. LOL. It doesn't make sense to try and run a series in the upper level classes but for someone just having fun like a lot of people in the C classes and B classes, it does just fine. My local honda shop doesn't have a lot of parts in stock so they order them. It takes at least a day to get them and then I have to run back to the dealer to pick them up. For the Cannondale, I make a call between 12pm and 7pm and my parts show up at my house in 2 days. Not a big difference there.

I can go on and on. Oh P.S., I do agree that it isn't the best handling quad...but they don't make those anymore either. ;)

Because it is quite simply less expensive and performs BETTER dollar for dollar than the newer machines out there. People are giving them away and those who know how to build them are getting them for nothing.

At my last race I even had Dave Therrien who is Josh Creamer's factory Kawasaki mechanic asking me what I had done to my Dale. He was blown away with the power I was putting out. He has access to the latest and greatest technology out there and could not catch me on the holeshot with his full blown 450r pushing 60hp. He used to own several of them back in the day and said the same thing as you until he saw how it ran. :)

[jcv400ex]

Jess, I remember you and your story also.

Okay the stooges are doing their "research" for one thing and one thing only.....M O N E Y. Now do you honestly think these guys will do it forever? Are the 42 regulars on Cannondaleriders going to give them enough business to do this for much longer? It's now 2008, you're all riding/racing 2001-2003 machines. In 3-5 years, are people still going to try to keep these things running/racing? I would bet NO. Eventually some of you will get smart and realize how much money you're throwing away. So what will happen then....business will drop off for the stooges, less demand for pistons/other parts.....and companies won't produce anymore...then guess what, you're left with scrap steel on wheels....

It's not rocket science, just simple economics my friend.

:ermm:

:ermm:

Finally you make a good argument. No I am not going to try to race a series on this machine even if I had the money. That's not the point. I will probably either keep it in the garage as a novelty/collectors item or part it out when the parts get scarce. That's my plan anyway. I think you are taking this thing way too serious.

People have been throwing money away on stuff that doesn't necessarily make sense to everyone for hundreds of years. In my current situation, I think its stupid for someone to go race a GNCC due to gas prices and high entry fees, but people keep doing it because that is their passion. We're not asking you to buy another Cannondale but if someone else is interested in it, the cannondale community will help in any way.

Also, its stupid for anyone to be in the Cannondale business for money. All the vendors know that. But they love Cannondales and I'm thankful that they are out there.

So again...Cannondales can be as reliable as a 400ex and they are VERY CHEAP TO GET THAT WAY!!!

I am willing to bet my life savings that I have put less money in my Cannondale for the last 5 years, than I could go out and buy any new machine...besides the closeout CanAms that are selling for dirt cheap. LOL.

And just to throw a quick little jab...They will be mostly scrap Aluminum on wheels. :devil:

[jcv400ex]

just look how much 250r's have died off in the last couple of years, and they produced 5 times as many c'dales in three years.

It's just going to get tough in 2 years to get any parts for them, just warning you.

Yeah, you will get more for the aluminum than steel! good thinking!

[jesshamner]

I'm not sure any of us really needed a warning but thanks anyway. Most of us are fully aware of the types and amounts of parts that are left.

[jacobw]

also there is enough parts floating around that you can get any parts that you need atk has boat load of the common wear and parts that you need the most of and timbomoose can make anything parts can be made in small batches as need part will never be an issue most of the vendors that made the parts also have left over stock and are also willing to help make new parts. look at all the old atcs they are rarer by the day but you can always find parts if you want them bad enough.

[3leggeddog]

hmmmm,so they quite building 3 wheelers in 1986/1987.but if come to Ohio we still race the **** out those!Look at some of the build my Derrick Adams,and Jason hall are pulling off.I have a feeling the Cannondale community will pull together and keep their machines running/racing for many years to come.Just like the 3 wheeler guys.the love of a machine is all the motivation needed.I personally like the dales,like you I'm not a big fan of he motor,and would probably transplant a crf,or Trx motor in there.but I really don't know much about them.with a full mx setup,and 250r plasctics they are one of my favortie looking bikes.I would love to throw a leg over a well buit dale any day,and am even contemplating getting one.not cause they are new rave,just cause I like them

Opinions are like *********$ my friend,everyone has one,unfortunalty yours just happens to stink ;-)

here you go.

Here's my speed

[witech]

Here's my motard . The only dale bike ever to dyno above 55hp in street legal trim and a quiet exhaust .

[witech]

Here the imfamous St Anthonies Special.
First Cannondale to 55,65 and 70 hp
First Cannodale to sport nitrous.
Built for under $1500 out of donated and parts salavaged from the shed.
It also served as a testbed for the first all stock part engine to break 50hp. It has also been used to test the true dual exhaust systems.

Are there any differences between the 440 engines?

[Motodale]

All Dales

[jesshamner]

They're all the same. And there are only slight differences in the dirtbike motors.

[witech]

Anybody remember the factory carbon fibre axles. i know where one is. Inboard rotors and sprockets.

[witech]

Bike engines had different gearing and charging systems but all engines are basically interchangable and most all parts can be made to work with all years.

Here is my first group sand ride at Little Sahara Utah
A bunch of the local Dales showed up to tear up the dunes.

[witech]

Only a few of us remember Sandstorm and the nutracker jump. What sight to see him fly so far and so many times till he bent a wheel. Check out the shadow on far dune.

[witech]

Here are some of the first updated dales we ever had get to gether for a motocross day. The one on the left has the 250r plastic kit(yuck)

[loons]

I'd pay lots of cash money to have that whole rear end setup. So if you are reading this. wink wink.... The more I look, the less I like the 250r look. Some do look great, but most look like dirty old plastic on a trick chassis.

[jesshamner]

That rear end set up needs to be duplicated and tested before its used...otherwise it belongs in a museum somewhere.

[loons]

I'd gladly be a test goat. Ha ha ha.

[jcv400ex]

Originally posted by jesshamner

Exactly, cuz there was ZERO real world testing done on that setup. And have fun trying to find someone to make you a hollow carbon fiber axle. One axle cracked and spiderwebbed pretty good.

It was really only intended for MX as it's not meant to be run down a trail and banged off of rocks.

[witech]

It cost aroubd $100,000 to design and build the few prototypes axle systems that were made. It was just a shot at doing something nobody else could. Thats what Cannondales are all about. We have dug up a whole pile of cool one off parts they were trying. My favorite items were the early prefx400 plastic and the 04 plastic. The billet front frame supports were cool to. There are a few quad out there with those.

[Motodale]

what did the pre fx400 and 04 plastic supposed to look like?

[jesshamner]

04 style. Too robocop for me.

[jesshamner]

prefx400 Really cool and slim lined. I like it better than any other style but the headlight delete would be weird on it.

[jesshamner]

.

[witech]

The prefx plastic was sweet because it showed off the frame and had a padded spot by the knees . The drawback is riding with an exposed frame lets all heat from the frame touch your legs. Its great in the winter though riding without side spars.
Lets not be to harsh on the 04 plastic . Its was before the power ranger look that all the jap quads sport today.

[jcv400ex]

The 04 plastic was nice, easier to change plugs and to get to the air filter....

Here's a sweet pic.

I have a airbox eliminator intake so a stock one will look different. I also have a mod on my fuel tank the intake attaches to a throttlebody. That attached to the intake of the motor where the injectors sit. See the horn coming out of the head. the injectors go in there and then the intake on top of that.

ok so let me get this straight, theres a throttlebody that is like a carb... that works with injectors, and from your last pic the exhaust is reverse from every other quad, the intake is on the front, exhaust is on the back?

[loons]

Yes. Intake is at the front of the motor and exhaust is straight out the rear.

is there a reason that cannondale did that... i was thinkin why dont the factorys do that and cut down some weight from the pipe...

whats the nacs thing on the bottom left? oil pump block off?

[aroracer72]

That is a Oil filter cover. With the full side cover on that cover is exposed to replace the engine oil filter. Cannondale did this because air flows in from the front...and the stock air filter is mounted in front of the steering stem under front plastic, so they designed it to flow straight through for most power and ease of flow. Most other companies dont do it because they stick with whats proven and dont deem this design necessary. Also something unique about dales is that engine oil is run through the big frame spars then back into the engine...instead of an exterior oil tank. And from the engine pic nools posted, the engine design uses cartridges, instead of two cases........really a lot of unique designs put into the dales......only real weak points are the stock crank, some bad valve covers and on higher HP engines the flywheel sometimes spin. If you build dales right though they produce awesome torque and HP....while remaining very reliable. I miss mine.......

[buck440]

really i was thinking like 6:confused: cause that mofo goes like all the way down to where the air box should be on a regular quad

[jesshamner]

Its big, heavy and awkward but only 3.2 gallons. No bigger than the 450r tank.
