tymans rebuild

[tyman2395]

hey here is some pics of a rebuild i'm doing i plan on getting a wiseco 416 kit, 450r carb, stage 2 hot cam, all new bearings, curtis sparks timing advance key, new timing chain and hd studs, new chain and sprockets and my frame powdercoated and 450r shocks and a rev box

[tyman2395]

all of my 400

[Pipeless416]

dang, you should have cleaned off stuff before opening your engine.. all that crap on there would make me nervous..

[tyman2395]

ya i never relized that til i opened it up but i am gonna put something over the side covers and stick a cloth under the piston than clean it with a tooth brush. the dang swingarm bolt is really pissing me of i heated it up for like 30 mins soaked it with pb blaster hit it with a 4 pound sludge and still nothing how would i cut it out with the grinder? and another question if i put the stage 2 hot cam, rev box, wiseco 416 kit, curtis sparks timing advance key, 450r carb and i already have a k&n air filter with outwears filter bag and air box cover off and a pipe and my gearing is 16,38 and i weigh 85 pounds will i stay up with a stock polaris predator? my friend might be getting one if he dont get a 400ex and i always have to be faster than them all :grr: lol

Psh! Be more patient! That thing will not come off in 30 mins.. :rolleyes:

Heat it with a bas tortch, spin it (if it will), heat it, spray some Oil Koil on it, repeat, then POUND POUND POUNDDDDD, then start over again.. I like to get everything real hot then spay some oil in there so it can get it in there better, then I spun my bolt.. got it out in about 6 hours.. but that wasn't non stop on the bolt however..

[440challenger]

You got your work cut out for you!Looks good. Carb went out 9am today. Sounds like a great build!!!

[tyman2395]

ya and it's gonna cost me alot but my dad said he will send me some money friday and i'm making 260 by firday so then i will have probably 500 then i will get some stuff but i'm not gonna rush it. but cant wait til it's done. but now we got snow so i will have my snowmobile out then

[Ruby Soho]

i have a hole 400 thats getting parted out.. if you need anything let me know

[tyman2395]

i did some polishing today i did both side covers and gonna polish some other stuff. i am gonna paint the motor silver soon

[hypersnyper6947]

You way 85lbs?? Your like a dam jockey that thing should hall with you on it.

[tyman2395]

ya when it was all stock my friend had a 400ex with quad works air filter, full dg pipe and more stuff and mine would stay right beside his

[Tacoma02TRD]

Good luck with the swing arm bolt. It's an act of God to get it out of there. But it is possible keep us updated on the build.

[tyman2395]

ya i will keep you guys updated. I haven't been doing to much lately as i been snowmobiling but today i might get that swingarm bolt out. I'm gonna grind it out. any tips on where to grind at?

[Brauap]

..spend a little more time on it.. I have heard of people spending weeks trying to get it out..

[tyman2395]

ya i will once i get it out i am sending the frame to get powder coated then i can start to get stuff back together like the motor i have to send away to get honed then once that stuff is done it should go back together pretty quick

[tyman2395]

hey today i was out in the garage trying to get that swingarm bolt i was out there for 4 hours and it wont even turn with the impact on it. It is really pissing me off. once i order my crf cam chain, curtis sparks key, and gaskets i will get my bottom end back together

[tyman2395]

got a few questions guys.
1. i want the number 6-7 decal for my right side so which do i check off? http://www.xtremeusa.com/fiche_section_detail.asp

2.I'm still looking for a 416 piston if you guys see one for a good price can you tell me ?

[tyman2395]

k guys i really need help getting my swingarm bolt out where do i grind it at?!? i need this out really soon as i am sending it to get powdercoated and the guy said he will come to my house and pick it up but only if it is sometime next week.

[rcatvrider]

hearing all of these horror stories, i decided to take care of my swinger bolt before it became a problem. Luckily is popped out like a piece of cake. I then loaded it with grease and anti-seize and reinstalled it. That should last me a little while. I will do this again periodically because I do plan to build up the whole quad in the future.

[tyman2395]

guys i really really need some help my swingarm bolt is stuck in the motor case it is still in the frame but frozen in the motor case. i need help on how to get it out because the guys is coming up friday and i need it out or i cant get it powdercoated :(

[rcatvrider]

Cut it wherever you can get a cutting wheel or sawsall in on the sides of the case. Then you can at least get the motor out and bang the pieces of the bolt out from there.

[tyman2395]

k i will try that tomorrow what is the best paint to paint my motor with ? i am gonna go with silver

[R'Fanatic]

Got access to a mig welder and a fairly large bolt. I know this sounds crazy but I ratcheted by old EX down on a stand CAREFULLY welded the nut on the end of the bolt, bolt head end. Got a long Cheater bar for some extra torque on that thing, and after huffing and puffing for 4hrs and letting my 256lb drunk friend sit on the 400 we got it out. I'll snap a photo if I can find the bolt, the quads gone and I need to clean out the shop. Just another idea.

[tyman2395]

hey guys my build is gonna go quicker now that i got some money as of right now i have 300 and selling alot of parts and christmas is coming up so my dad is sending me home birthday and christmas money at the same time :blah: my frame is done powdercoating gotta find a way to get it home so after i pay for the powderocating i will have 75 but by then i will also have alot more

[tyman2395]

k guys some updates from last time my frame is coming back some time after christmas i live 4 hours away from where it is getting done and the guy is coming up my way for vacation and bringing it will him the colors i picked were mirror red and black magic. I am ordering a 416 wiseco piston monday and sending it to get bored and honed hopefully some time next week. I still got my parts for sale so hopefully i can sell them and buy some more stuff.

[tyman2395]

well i got bored so i thought i would update a little i ordered my 416 piston today and should be in some time next week. The i will get it bored and honed. I am still looking for a stage 2 hot cam for a good price i don't really want to pay 164 CAD for it. I haven't been doing much with the build because now it's cold out and i am in the process of getting a wood stove for my garage.

[400exrider707]

Three things I see...

1. The swinger bolt... looks like you got it out... the new one that goes in... send it to Pappy @ Bk performance and get it molycoated. This will eliminate your problems....

2. Ditch the timing key... not a good idea the way it looks like your build is going...

3. Ditch the K&N. Garbage. UNI all the way.


Also not sure what else you intend to do with this bike, but what compression are you going with and what head gasket are you going to use? I'd suggest a cometic thin gasket and get that compression CLOSER to what it should be on the advertisement.

[2muchquad]

i have had good luck my K&N's over the years.With my first hand experience and not something i read about online or in mags,i like them.I have them on my 250r,400ex and my ktm450sx and yz426.I never had a problem wit'em:)

[tyman2395]

For the swingarm bolt i will prob sent it to pappy to get molycoated how much to get it done? And I'm gonna run a 10:1 piston in it because it was the cheapest i found. As for the timing key i am gonna add it because i am gonna add a bigger oil cooler on the list. As for the air filter i am gonna keep it because i love the K&N with the outerwears combo. I am bored so i will attach this pic of my 450r carb

[tyman2395]

heres a pic of my bike after i did my rebuild in the summer this was before my nerf bars and pipe

[tyman2395]

heres a pic of the bottom of my valves

[tyman2395]

heres a pic of my bike after i went mudding

[tyman2395]

heres another pic of my bike after my daily riding

[tyman2395]

heres a question guys is this normal? to me it looks like it is broken in half and when you feel it it's not smooth

[2muchquad]

that looks like a boss where the kickstart would go.The 400ex is derived from the xr400 dirt bike which is kickstart only.I wouldnt worry about it.

[tyman2395]

k thanks man at first when i seen that i got a little worried

[tyman2395]

merry christmas everyone i got a nice christmas alot of tools easy-outs and my favorite gift

[tyman2395]

875 for mods :D :D

[tyman2395]

well today i ordered my chain kit,a-arm bushings, some parts from service Honda. so in the mail coming to me right now is my Wiseco 416 piston, a-arm bushings, my chain kit, and parts from service Honda. Once i receive my piston i am gonna send it to get bored i already have the money aside. Now i got 90 left over and heres the parts i need front wheel and steering stem bearings, swingarm bearings, twin row axle bearings, stage 2 Hotcam and that is everything except my twist throttle i email motion pro to see if they could make me one that one side will go into the 450r carb and the other into the 400ex turbo twist throttle. Do you know anywheres i can get a stage 2 Hotcam for cheap? or the bearings i need? i would like if i could find 1 place that has all the bearings so i can have combined shipping. so hopefully this will be back together before January is over well it should be because mostly all the parts are ordered :D

[tyman2395]

think these handlebars would look good on my bike? I think they look good. Are they pretty strong?

[Speedy 400ex]

I have them on my bike and i like them...i havent rolled yet so i don't know how they will like it or not. but the have a little flex or give in them, which i personaly like. It makes the ride a little less rough. But just make shure they are for the trx's ones, because the bend i got where to short so i had to cram all the controls on. They should be the right ones from reading the listing though.

[tyman2395]

ya i'm gonna go with them and hopefully i wont find out how strong they from rolling my bike lol

[lilyamaharacer4]

They will work as long as you never roll it or hit anything, IMO they are a waste becuase you will have to replace them constantly. Just go buy your self a set of tag, renthal, or protapers. Much stronger and they will survive when you wreck.

[tyman2395]

ya i want a kinda strong once in case i roll it lol i added a new thing to my list only need 56 more buck and can order them. NEW STOCK PLASTICS!!!!! I figure since i'm redoing my bike i need new shiny plastics :D

[lilyamaharacer4]

Aghhhh must be nice haha. Heck i didnt even send my frame out yet to get pcd. But oh well i got till summer.

[tyman2395]

ya i hate spending money tho lol all i need now is getting my cylinder bored, hot cam and bearings and front brakes. Pretty stressful at times lol

[lilyamaharacer4]

Yeah man i feel ya. Im quite aways from finishing mine.

[tyman2395]

ya sometimes it feels like it will never be done but there is a shine of light between the clouds lol few more things can't wait

[lilyamaharacer4]

Ok now that just sounded gay haha.

[tyman2395]

ya i have to admit that was pretty fruity lol i needed some saying lmfao

[tyman2395]

well today i purchased another bike it's a 199? yamaha wolverine for 50 bucks. It was 4 wheel drive but the front stop working so my uncle took it off and the rear end is stripped but i will get that welded. I gotta get down to his house to pick it up so i will have a spare bike to ride around on lol i think i got a good deal

[2muchquad]

yamaha wolverine for 50 bucks


I imagine its pretty beat:D kinda like a red head left on a doorstep...

[tyman2395]

ya it's been through hell and back lol but the plastics in stuff are in alright shape. All i am gonna use it for is driving it when the 400 is down or if my friends wanna go biking they can take it but shyt 50 bucks for a bike is pretty good. Trust me when i have it it's gonna take a nice beating lol

[tyman2395]

today i sold my plastics and am buying some really nice red race cut ones in a few days and i ordered my hot cam and ordered all my new bearings all i need now is all my parts to come in and my frame back and i can get it back together plus i need a 450r twist throttle but that should be bought before all my stuff gets here :)

[tyman2395]

got my plastics just gotta shine them up :D

[lilyamaharacer4]

You should of kept ur old seat. Do your self a favor and get a black seat cover. That red will look horrible after a few rides.

[tyman2395]

ya what NGK spark plug should i run ? dpr9z?

[shok47]

What did you do about your swingarm bolt? Im at that point to, got everything else off. Mine wont even turn as well. I used a propane torch on it for some time, hit it with hammer and tried turning it but no luck.

[440challenger]

dpr8z, the bars suck, i've broke a set in half on a stupid sand roll over. stick with tag or pro taper

[tyman2395]

k thanks 440 for the heads up and shok i took it to a machine shop to get it out they used a torch wrench to cut it out.

[tyman2395]

front plastics with head lights in them :)

[tyman2395]

I dont know how old he is, it's just a common response when you see a bike on the carpet in someones living room.

Maybe "Your mom's gonna string you up" is more like it.

[tyman2395]

The cylnder is gonna get bored out in the next week or 2. So all i need now is a 450r twist throttle, pivot works swingarm kit and clymer's manual. But of course need money first. lol

That was prolly a good choice, i f'ed myself out of a swingarm trying to do it myself..

[tyman2395]

ya i did that to but i am gonna reuse the swingarm no money for a new one plus i got mine powdercoated so i dont wanna throw it out

[tyman2395]

hey guys sorry i haven't really update you guys that much but i haven't really worked on the 400 because i've just got job at a grocery store and been working on the rm but now that i got a job it is 8$ an hour and i work mon-fri 3:30 to 9:30 and some weekends lunch til supper so in a week around 300. so hopefully i will have time to work on the 400 but ya heres the updates i dropped my cylinder off to get bored out, and just waiting for a pay check to order my swingarm kit. I am painting my a-arms with black gloss marine paint and my friends is doing it with his air sprayer. But i need help my bearings in my carrier wont come out it is a billet twin row carrier so whats any easy way to get it out?

[cam19aro86]

Bake the carrier in the oven at 300 degrees for 20 minutes then just tap it and they will fall right out. Aluminum expands quicker than the steel which makes the bearings fall out.

[tyman2395]

thanks k guys heres a question is this kit right here everything to redo my swingarm bearings, seals spacers and stuff?

[tyman2395]

well just putting stuff on right now so heres some pics i will get the steering stem on later my a-arms are being painted right now at my friends house he is using his air sprayer thing with black marine paint. Right now i am bidding on a swingarm kit on ebay so hopefully that turns out good so i can get the rear end back together. I tried the oven thing for the carrier bearing and no luck still stuck in there any other ways ? thanks guys

[tyman2395]

i got it powdercoated from a local shop and thanks i think it looks good to

[theTman]

sinces its all apart you oughta clean the little parts, such as that battery box, the more clean everything is the better appearence your quad will have when you finish it!

[tyman2395]

ya i am cleaning alot of stuff but the battery box is all scratched up so it is hard to clean

[rcatvrider]

Got any simple green? That stuff cleans great.

By accident i was racing my friend and i was in front and came around a corner and there was a puddle and i pull my front brake in cause i have no back ones and the bike was sideways when i done it and it flipped over and bent the bars thats it tho lol the EX's are strong bike

[bazmaster03]

lol ...did you ever try doing it on purpose cuz i never tried (well i dont have my quad yet) and wondering if its possible to do it .... if it isnt i wont even try to do it like hydroplane over a river were in my plans

[Ruby Soho]

i think you should clean the parts before you put them back on.. its taking away from the powdercoat

[tyman2395]

i seen people do it over puddles but i'm not sure about a river i wouldn't try it it lol and i would clean it but it's -2 here celius that is so everything gets ice on it

[bazmaster03]

-2 celsius here its around our daytime high we got a few days of like +5 this past week but it drops down to like -10 to -15 celsius at night

[tyman2395]

ya it's no fun trying to clean when the dirt theres all icy lol

Hey man, looks really nice, you are doing a great job!

The only thing I see is that you need to start scrubbing eith Simple green and a toothbrush. Get that sucker spotless before putting it back together. It is the details that make the difference! Look at that pic of your front end and shocks, they are grimy, and really take away from the awesome job you have done with everything else!

[tyman2395]

ya i'm gonna get er all cleaned up my mom is getting some simple green for me to clean it up

eagle one etching mad wheel cleaner will make all the stuff thats a lil bit stained look brand new. spray it on and a few minutes later rinse off. its about 5 buxs a botal. walmart lowes home depot advance auto.
