2005 400ex project

[brothers]

I purchased a 05 honda 400 ex. It was stock and had nothing done to it. I love the 400 but i rode my friends 450R and that sh*t is crazy fasst. Anyway I started out researching part online and settle on a few to put here. I just recieved a jet kit, fuel line, fuel filter and I am waiting on my exhaust.

[brothers]

Fuel Line-cheap mod and just some insurance.

[brothers]

another cheap mod and a peice of mind.

[honda400ex2003]

that is just the start. It will get into the bigger and more performance stuff soon. Those are some good ideas for what to do. steve

[Adrian]

hahaha GREG!!! Your quad is in my garage!! Haha. When does the new bolt come in?

[Jessem24]

dont stock 400's come with a fuel filter on them?!?

[brothers]

Yes they do but i just wanted to replace all the little things first. I have never really worked on atv, just mostly cars. So im just replacing the small crap then moving up. As soon as the wife lets me buy more tools and a welder.:D

[brothers]

Went to local bike shop and got an x ring chain.. just waiting on UPS for my exhaust. sorry didnt take pictures of the chain.

[brothers]

[brothers]

here is the big gun exhaust. it sounds so mean. after i find my camera cable i will shoot a lil video and post it.

[brothers]

Just got my sparks racing timing key in today weeeeeeee hope adrian is free tonight lol

[brothers]

Was doing some research about the sparks racing key and the rev box that i purchased, Just relized that the rev box already messes with the timing curve. so what should i go with the key or the rev box? either way one of them is for sale lol

[F-16Guy]

You should be able to run both with a stock engine. The woodruff key advances the static timing (the point in the rotation of the crank shaft where the flywheel triggers the spark impulse). The CDI changes the spark advance curve. The fuel/air mixture burns at a constant rate, so the CDI takes whatever that base advance is and advances it even more relative to engine RPM to get the mixture burning sooner so that the explosion reaches the peak pressure at the correct point.

[brothers]

welp im going to install it and see what happens. wish me luck!

[F-16Guy]

Just run the highest octane pump gas available, and if you get pinging or knocking under acceleration, try switching back to the stock CDI.

[brothers]

ummm broke the stock cdi on accident

[brothers]

recieved some new parts yesterday cant wait to install them.

[brothers]

**** looks vicious just need some damn instructions to install it LOL

[Adrian]

[honda400-4-ever]

[brothers]
