Whats up guys, I have been looking at a certain 400ex in my area. Its got quite a bit of work done to it including a wiseco 440 kit. Is there anything in particular I should look for when buying a 400 with this kit? Like head gasket problems? Here is a link to the quad

Prices seem to be a bit higher here in Utah, as I have checked the classifieds and find them to be much cheaper in other states.

I would ask for receipts. Documentation that the work was done professionally would go a long way toward bolstering my confidence about a purchase.

I would also do a compression test.
