Reciently bought a 2001 400 ex for $600.00. Quad is running and driving, has a few cosmetic issues :ermm: but starts and runs great.
Over the winter here I'm going to strip it down to nothing and start from scratch. I've done this many times with classic cars, dirt bikes, snowmobiles but this is my first quad. I plan or making this thing as bad a** as possible but still to be a trail/mx pump gas machine.
Have been looking into the 460 stroker setups but am unsure with whos parts to go with. Piston, sleeve, head porting, valves, rod kit or complete crank assy? Different haed studs to cure the head gasket issue? I'm the kind of guy that don't mind spending a few extra bucks to have it right the first time.
I figure I could get some input on whats workin out there and what people are having problems with. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Danee
