:confused: ive got a stock 04 400 ex my buddys got the same we run close 1st through 4th but in fith he pulls 4 to 5 bike lenths ahead of me both bikes are identical any ideas

[oldskoolex400]

you dont have enough power to pull 5th....all engines are different

what about the years. i think that from 1999-2004 2005-2007 models they changed the gears some

edit: it could also be, your gearing is geared lower on the counter shaft or rear sprocket.
