I just bought a 01 400EX from a friend. I has a few things on it. K&N+outerwears, rear hub extensions, nerf bars, skid plate, DWT fronts, and a twist grip that's going in the garbage tonight.
Now for the questions:
1: Anything I should look out for when going back to the thumb throttle or is it just remove and replace?
2: Brakes. Needs them. I was going to order from rocky mt. but in my experience EBC sucks the bag. Used them once on my racecar and I will never use them again. Tusk afaik is rebranded EBC so it's stock or galfer.
3: Clutch has a really hard pull compared to my 200x and a friend's 300ex. I did lube the cable as best I could and it seemed to get slightly better. Not a bad issue but would like to change it if there is a easy (and cheap) fix. Could be stronger springs, I really don't know if they were done.
Other than that the bike is great. I have my eyes on a pipe and a rejet but that'll probaly not happen till winter. I see mention of the parking block off plate a lot here. Seems the parking brake makes the caliper drag the pads so I may get that when I order the pads.
If anyone has any other things I should look for please let me know.
Thanks
