new 300ex project!!

[ktm300ex]

ok so I sold my last 300ex and I wish I wouldnt of so.......I bought a new one. But I was short on cash so I decided for a winter project. I picked up a 96 300ex for $400 complete. It just needed minor work to get it ready to ride but I wanted to build it my way! So I got it with a a blue frame (ugly) red plastics (rear is cracked pretty bad) the valves need adjusted (making a lot of noise) and needs a battery. The paint job was bad. they painted over EVERYTHING but the motor. brake lines, steering stem, bushings...all painted over.... so I gota fix that

plans:
Powder coat frame/swing arm jet black
paint a arms jet black (mabey 400ex a arms)
Mabey extend swing arm
rebuild top end with hgih comp piston/ and stage one hot cam
new header and slip on (it came a really guffey looking head pipe
g-force axle
black seat cover
repair stock plastic ----> then buy maier plastic when I get some money
fly bars with new grips
new battery
new a arm bushings
new tie rod ends (4)
new wheel bearings
new swing arm bearing
new brakes
get a different style headlight
nerf bars
new bumper
new grab bar
and more....im sure im forgeting something.


here are the pics you have been waiting for:
Day one:when I got it home

thanks
kyle
let me know what you think.

[sl2fast]

its lookin good so far.

[lowbudget36]

Come on and just get this one! lol

[KFX450Rrider490]

ktm300ex good luck on the build
and lowbudget36 whos quad is that its amasing??

[ktm300ex]

nice 300 lowbudget. What kind of nerfs are those? do they have the heel guard built in? hard to tell from the pic...

[QuadCobbler]

KTM300EX good luck with the build.
LowBudget that is a nice 300ex, still for sale I see, but still a very nice bike.

[ktm300ex]

ok this is a really stupid question but I gota ask cuz I cant tell.....
do these a arms look like stock 400ex or 300ex a arms?
he said they are 400ex and if they are im gona buy them but I dont wana drive over an hour away and them be the stock 300ex a arms

what do you think?

[QuadCobbler]

I would ask him to mesure them from the ball joint to the heim joint and from the shock mount to the heim joint. if they are from a 400 the over length would be about 1.8" longer. and the shock mount would be further away from the heim joint than it would be on your 300ex a-arms.

[born2ride14]

those are 400ex a arms.I can tell by the lowers that they are more of a square shape than a triangle shape.I am 99.999999999% sure that they are 400ex a arms

[QuadCobbler]

300ex stock a-arms dated nov 23 2008 on photo. 400ex photo not dated. Both stock. I would agree with 300manica on the shape

[QuadCobbler]

missed one pic in the last post. 300ex a-arms

[ktm300ex]

good deal, I can see the difference now. thanks guys looks like I will be using 400ex a arms after all

do I need a arm bushings for a 300ex? or 400ex?
thanks

[QuadCobbler]

I did the same mod on mine and I used the 300ex bushings in the 400ex a-arms. If you have any more ?s about the mod you can look in the ( all kinds of 300ex mods threads)

[ktm300ex]

ok so ive been searching around and need some more help. I cant I.D. my head pipe. I was told the muffler was "home made" and im thinking the head pipe was also. I KNOW its not stock sooo...what do you think?

also,

I have a DG slip on that came with the quad. and I think im gona put it on for now untill I can get an HMF. Ive tried searching, but what do you guys think of DG? I like loud.....and I already have it so its cheap....I will get a pic of the slip on later

http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o182/kylemm1002/DSC00165.jpg

[ktm300ex]

droped off the frame to get chemical bath so it will come back nice and shiny ready for paint. I will update with pics when I get it back?

ALSO, Is there any way to repack a DG pipe? there are now bolts on the back of the can?

thanks
kyle

[ktm300ex]

ok so I need some help

I got a arm bushing in, and I think they are the wrong kind. My stock a arms have a pivot ball inside so I cant use these bushings.
these are the ones i got:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190249938016&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&viewitem=

BUT im using 400ex a arms but they have not come in yet soooo..
Will these bushings work for 400ex arms or do the 400ex arms have the same little pivot ball inside?

can someone post a link to the correct bushings i need?
thanks

[ktm300ex]

well did some searching and found out that the hiem joint inside the arms will come out and my new sleeve will take its place. Ill post up some pics of the new parts soon and I hope to have the frame back tommarow then weld up a crack, prime, and paint.

thanks for the help
kyle

[QuadCobbler]

Are you going to powder coat it or use regular paint? From the coment your going to prime it I am asuming your going to use regular paint. What kind of paint are you going to use? I have been thinking about repinting my frame and a-arms but I am afraid the paint will peel or flake off.

at first i was going to powdercoat it but then I was going to paint it because my girlfriends step dad is a body man and I can do it for cheap. I was going to use automotive paint (some real good stuff, but I dont know the brand because im not the body man) but after striping my frame and seeing a lot of cracks and I dont have a title...im going to buy another frame all together because it will be cheaper in the end and have a good title

[ktm300ex]

I know no body cares but I got some new parts in so when I get the frame in I can start on reassembly. Its slow moving but its gona turn out great I think.

thanks man, I just wish it was moving faster but money is tight so it should be done by late feb. or early march cuz me and my buddies are going to make some plans to ride at st. joe state park for a few days.

[dbc112]

Hey!
I been going through the same type build.. 400ex a-arms, new motor, etc..

I was thinking about PC the frame, would help clean it up.

As far as plastics, what are you going with?

[ktm300ex]

my factory plastics are busted up prty bad but im short on cash so im going to repair them as best I can for now and eventualy buy some maier customs in black

[dbc112]

I have an older DG exhaust.. looks like the end cap is riveted on. I called DG and they said you can pop the rivets to repack... here is a pick of the exhaust, this thing is crazy loud, almost to loud. Only pic I have. Anything you can insert to quiet this thing down?


How do you plan to fix your plastics? I went with krylon (will take pics later). I really want to media blast and bondo (or equivalent), then paint eventually. No cracks to worry about on this side.


Hey, I also have a bunch of electrical stuff in my parts box. Let me know if you need anything, I can let it go for really cheap if not free (depending on item) less shipping of course. (help out fellow rebuild:-) What good do they do sitting in the garage?

[ktm300ex]

I took another look and I have rivits on the can that I can remove. I missed them earlier because is was so dirty.

as for my plastics the finish on them is still good they are just cracked prety bad. Im going to melt new plastic in the cracks and a few zip ties for good measure. If I were you I would not bondo the plastics because they flex to much, the bondo once hard would crack to shreds.

and thanks for the offer with the parts, I got the bike as a whole running quad so it "should" all still be there and in running order. But if I need something ill shoot you a pm

thanks
kyle

[dbc112]

I was looking into painting atv plastics.. check this out, good how to. Also some articles on how to "weld" plastics back together.

Bondo wouldnt be the filler, more of a bumper repair material
putty flex.


http://www.urethanesupply.com/atvpainting.php

My father in law has a paint gun and compressor.. I am seriously considering doing this. Would be less than $100 in material, and the way my plastics look now. Cant get any worse.

[ktm300ex]

Ok I got my frame in and im gona start putting stuff together probly over the weekend. but I got a few questions...

the motor is out the quad, and I need to clean it before I put it back in. Your guys have any tips to clean it?

and is it easier to put the motor in first then fish the wiring through or the wiring first then motor??

thanks

[born2ride14]

I use wal-mart brand engine degreaser (FOAMY) and a toothbrush.:)

[dbc112]

Engine then wire... You need those couple of inches to fit it in and adjust properly...

I would reccomend checking out the oil drainage plug alignment (think on bottom of engine but not sure havent changed yet)... and the lower skid.


The only thing I would redo is to definetly PC the frame before you get started, and clean the engine...

BTW, I painted my A-arms with chrome paint. Actually turned out very nice. Would have been a heck of a lot easier to paint off the frame.

Also, did you see my post on thr DG pipe? What do you think?

[ktm300ex]

ya I saw your post. I found the rivits on my pipe. thanks

and as far as making it quiet, do you have a spark arrestor? mabey some more packing...hell I dont know. I like loud so I cant wait to get this quad rollin!! mabey some one else has an idea to quiet the dg pipe?

thanks

[ktm300ex]

Ok so when I bought this the guy told me it need the rockers adjusted becuase it ticked when you ran it.

so I was going to adjust the rocker arm tighter and found out one has side to side play (left to right) NOT up and down. So I think something else it worn out. What do you think?

Do 300 and 400 a arms use the same size caslte nut for the spindle?

and last,
I cant seem to tighten up the a arm spindle bolt because they just spin....How do I tighten them up if they just spin?

thanks

[born2ride14]

You need to put a 8'' C clamp over the ball joints. tighten the clamp then put the nuts on SLOWLY. If you have the nyloc nuts i would put regular ones on there until the ball joints seat in the spindle. Once you do this you can take off the regular ones and put the nyloc ones on.

[ktm300ex]

awsome thanks

Since i have never torn into a motor i cant tell you what can be done, or if it suposed to do this but maybe someone else does. Look on ebay, you might find a head cheap with all the internals.

So funny, same issues I was having. Check www.bikebandit.com for the castle nut size. The 300ex was a tight fit so I went with the 400ex bolt size, no castle just reg bolt with some locktite and cotter pin.


As far as spinning, you need to put pressure on top of the a-arm to "lock" in the spindle bolt, otherwise it will spin. Was about 1 hour for me to figure this one out. The pressure will press in the spindle washer thingy to lock in so it dosent spin. Try some C clamps.

Cant comment on the rockers...

[geo0101]

Where did you get your honda wings decal and the TRX decal thats on the side of your bike? I've been looking on ebay but haven't been able to find them.
Thanks
geo

[born2ride14]

updates?

[ktm300ex]

UPDATE!!!!!
the quad came with those stickers so I have no clue where to get them

I adjusted the valves so lets hope theres no more noise

and I put it back together about 75%

and yes thats the 300 shocks becuase im out of money right now the shocks relocater bracket is going to have to wait.


Things to do:
buy/install 400ex carb
buy/install shock bracket
buy/install wheel spacers (THIS IS A TEMP FIX UNTILL I CAB BUY A G_FORCE AXLE)
buy/install new chain and sprockets
bleed brakes front/rear
buy install new handle bars/grips
reapir/install plastics

take it for a spin!!!!....................and probly sell it. Ill take $1500 the way it sits lol

[dbc112]

FYI,
I went with cheap wheel spacers in the rear.. the lug kind. Under $20 for 2.5 inches..

[ktm300ex]

ya ive seen them on ebay prty cheap. I just want them to even out the width with the front.

[TRX-330]

Get an axle you dont need to get an aftermarket one. you can get a 350x axle and it will be pretty even.

[dbc112]

350x axle will fit the stock bearing carrier thingy? I need a new axle, my right wheel wobbles.

Could be axle, bent rim, or hub.. uggh...

[born2ride14]

450r axles work also/ my buddy has one and it fit perfect.

[dbc112]

Oh really, that is very interesting... Can leave everything else stock? Just mneed to get rid of this bend..

[born2ride14]

yep everthing else should work

[dbc112]

brake rotor and sprocket all fit onto the axle as well? Sorry to be a nucklehead. I have 400 parts in the garage that almost fit etc.

What about wheel hubs?

[born2ride14]

yes everything fits. the the only thing you need to buy is a 450r axle with sprocket hub

[ktm300ex]

dang I didnt know that, I thought you had to use the WHOLE swinger assembly. I will have to look into that cuz it would be cheaper

[TRX-330]

Yep most Honda stuff is interchangeable with their other quads that's why i like Honda so much. Butt ya 350x, 400ex, 250r, and 450r axles will all work with the stock carrier and bearings. That's what i would do if you want it to be even with the front.

[dbc112]

Can I get an AMEN!

[born2ride14]

im only positive that the 350x and the 450r bolt in. the 400 has to have custom made spacers, and i have no clue about the 250r

[TRX-330]

well ya im sorry the 400 needs a shim on the right side, but ive heard that the 250 axle will go on also im not sure if u need something special with that too.

[QuadCobbler]

If you go to the all kinds of 300ex info thred you will see that the only axle that fits into a 300ex carrier is a 300ex axle. You can use a 400ex or 450r swinger, it is pretty easy to do. You would have to weld a tab on you frame for a pro link and use a 250r shock. Some people cut down one side of the swing arm to shuift it over because the sprokets will not align, but I put a spacer on my rear sproket hub. I tried putting a 400ex axle in 300ex carrier and it did not work. The splines on the 400ex axle are further apart than the 300ex. and the 400ex axle bearing carrier is widder than the 300ex, so the 400ex bearing carrier will hang out of one side of the 300ex swing arm. If you have any question about installing a 400ex swinger on your 300ex just ask. I did it to mine and I have lots of pics.

[dbc112]

I am very interested in the 400ex swinger.. How much longer is it than a 300ex? If I use the 250r rear, does it add and height to the back end?

[QuadCobbler]

The 400ex swing arm is about 2" longer than the 300ex is (both stock). From what I have read the 250r swing arm is the same length as the 400ex. As far as height it depends on what pro link you use and how long you make the weld on tab on your frame to mount the pro link. I had to make my own pro link because the 250r link made the rear way too stiff. It took me about a month to figure out how it worked. Now the rear of mine is really soft. I have two sprokets on the rear, one is spacer with all of the teath cut off. I had to shift the chain over about a 1/4" for the chain to line up with the front sproket.

[born2ride14]

quadcobbler you are wrong, 450r axles will bolt up to a 300ex

[QuadCobbler]

I copied this from the all kinds of 300ex info. I would PM honda300extreme or Set The Stage and ask them about the 450 axle.

(a 450R swingarm will also work, how ever this set-up requires tabs to be welded or bolted to the frame to accept the linkage. You WILL have to use a 250R rear shock, linkage is up to you, the 250r or the 450r linkage will work, carrier and axle, and rear brakeline will also be needed. the swingarm is around 3 inches longer
the 350x rear end will also work
same as 250r)

Sounds like a lot of work.. Wouldnt it be easier to buy a +2 or +3 swinger? Or does the cost offset the time/money.

[QuadCobbler]

Most of the stuff I put on my 300 was free, just sitting around at freinds houses. I sold my stock axle an bearing carrier to buy some extra stuff I didn't really need. I had to buy a 400ex axle too. The 400ex axle is almost 2" wider than a 300ex axle and the swinger is almost 2" longer. I was reading on here someone used a 450r carrier and made spacers out of an extra rear brake rotor hub. It did not sound too hard but you would still be using the shorter 300ex swinger and limited to the 300ex style rear shock. You can buy 250r rear shocks all day on ebay, when a good after market 300ex shock would coast you some money. The raptor shock works too for the 300ex swinger but they also have their issues. I also read you can use differant types of links if you go with a 450r/400ex/250r swinger but some say the 250r rear shock is too stiff and needed revalved/sprung. From reading all of the threads on this site it looks like there are many ways to do the conversion. I would reserch it as much as you can and do not rush into it. It will turn out nice if you take your time, and going by the number of people that have done this I would say it is worth it.

[TRX-330]

if you plan to race this you cant have the welded tabs on the frame for the linkage for those swing arms. Although i read that you can have brackets that bolt on just like the front shock bracket, so my thinking is to build a bracket that will bolt on and allow you to run the linkage.

[dbc112]

I finished my build recently, here is a pick.. stay at it!

Before

[dbc112]

and after.. taken from cell phone so not as good of a pic

[herdfandave]

Are those 400ex shocks also? if u use the 400ex A-arms and shocks, u dont have to get a relocate kit do u? And what kind of lights are those? how did u mount them? i like ur setup man

[dbc112]

Thanks,
I appreciate the comments, wanna buy it?


I used 400ex a-arms and LTZ400 fronts (larger than 400ex) and a relo kit.

Not sure about the a-arms with schocks. I think in the "all kids of 300ex info" thread they mention the relo kit as well.


The lights were cheap! I went on northern tool and typed in worklights. About $15 shipped. In terms of wiring, my harness is a bit custom.

Stock harnes would be easy. Trace the lines that go to your front light (should be 2). One is hot and one is ground. Use an ohm meeter set on 12v (can get at radio shack for $10) to see which is hot or use a wiring diagram to match the color.. it dosent really matter, as long as you run the both wires..

Anyway, solder on a longer piece of wire to hot and one to ground, run it to your location and attach to lights. Very easy, whole process was 5 min.

I used1.5 inch "l" brackets one the frame to mount with an existing hole for each light. I also had to remove the stock mount on the light.. easier to see than explain.

I appreciate the comments, wanna buy it?


I used 400ex a-arms and LTZ400 fronts (larger than 400ex) and a relo kit.

Not sure about the a-arms with schocks. I think in the "all kids of 300ex info" thread they mention the relo kit as well.


The lights were cheap! I went on northern tool and typed in worklights. About $15 shipped. In terms of wiring, my harness is a bit custom.

[herdfandave]

also does the 400ex carb make it faster or somin?

[dbc112]

400ex carb is larger and allows for better flow, it adds to the engine mods I already have and is a great addition.

Selling it for $2400 bc of the motor specifications.. In reality would take $1800...
