How to: Get The 400ex Beat any quad with the right rider

[400exrapes]

Lets say you had a 400ex with no budget limit what mods would you have to do to the quad to make it keep up with any quad in the open class as long as a very good rider was on there out on the track

pay any amount of money to get a pro to come and give me lessons, to become a top rider
. the i would tune it up

experience is the most powerful mod.

a 440 kit and you'll being up front with it if your a good rider all i had last year was a rebuilt rearshock a done up motor and i was winning races with it , its all on the riders money cant buy you skill

Forget a 440 kit!Too much off the sleve and dramatically lessons the reliabilty of the motor.My 03 400ex has a 426 bigbore stage two hot cam air filter and a lrd pipe and i run with the best of em.All you need is to know how to ride.

[BlackTrx440ex]

no i honestly think your wrong i personally like the 440's better had mine for over a year and half raced a season never one problem i kno people that had a 426 raced one season and it was blowing smoke so he had to switch to a 440 and now it runs awsome

Don't most of the 440 kits come with a larger dia. sleeve, I think that the sleeve walls are thinner on the 426's then the re-sleeved 440's. I built my 416 up and it will keep up with most and beat some of the 450's on the sand drags, alot of it is based on the rider, I've beaten guys with built 450's and lost to guys with stock 450's. most of it relies on how well the rider can utilize the power between his legs.

if you wanted the fastest quad out there, swap the motor w/ somting from a dirtbike

[400exrapes]

im not a mechanic yet but i want to know every bit and peice about quads so i can maybe on day do that but would puttin a dirtbike engine make it slower?
