LA design starter cluch if i member off the topof my head was under 130 dollars, if you fix it why sell ? unless the raptor is to much for ya :p and or you want a reliable low maitence quad

you want speed or handleing

the 400 is slower but way better handleing

the 660 is quicker but top heavy

with $$$$ you can overcome either deficiency

if you get the 400ex you will have one of the most reliable atv's ever made

The reliability and handling of the 400ex more than trumps the torque of the 660. My buddy just sold his POS 660 and it had +2.5" housers and a durablue axle to give it some width to help with the handling and it still was NO comparison. It was also the least reliable quad i have ever seen.

660s are slow, huge displacement and there a joke, ton of money and it might be quick, unless it was done up engine wise, keep the ex

Now if this was a 700r we were talking about I'd feel a little different but yeah, I think a 400EX is WAY better than a 660.

yeah deff the 700r would be a different story, but dont you think if i had a bigger engine and offred to trade for a much smaller engine, there would be something wrong? like its SLOW AND BALLESS lol i beat a newer rapptor at the time with my 1986 cr125, what does that tell you lol
