Dad did get 400EX

[TC17]

yep. about an hour of paper work too. got it for 4700. red, new, 02'. it fits me good too. for some reason i think this might not be his. i got a 112 main jet at Honda today for my 250. that's why it keeps backfiring, it's lean because of the pipe and filter. if i don't get it now, i'll get it in 2 years which isn't bad. the way he and the guy talked and kept looking at me, i dunno. can't ride it until 5 and have plently of homework and projects to do in the meantime.

Oh come on now, surely you would'nt take dads new quad for a spin when he was not home?

[Nausty]

lol congratulations if you get it. good luck

[roostin_dale]

lol..taking the keys reminds me of something.....last year my family and some friends went camping..well our parents went to a bar..so me and my friend decided to take my dads truck to the gas station...but we forgot to roll the windows back up...lmao

the 400 is not mine. but...2 years i get a truck and the 400 is in the back.:). it's nice. it is roomy and i love the clutch. it's so easy to use. it has power too. but i know i'm going to get flamed for saying this but, i was a little dissapointed because i was expectin this HUGE power difference and there is none. there is a difference but not as much as i thought. the front end likes to come up with you go through the gears. i love it. i wish i could have it. fun to ride around the house.

Thats nice for you dad, and you! :D Hope he likes it too!

[optikid123]

all u gotta do it hook together the 2 wires to make it work no key:)

[TC17]

yeah, thought about that. he'd get mad that he didn't get to ride it first and me messing with wires. it's really funny when i mess with wires and don't know what i'm doing:blah.

chit, you dont need no keys, its easy to hot wire a quad, just tie the ignition wires together and hit the button, and your gone.:devil

When my sister got her 250ex, I thought it was gonna be really really slow. It was a lot faster then I thought but still didnt compare power wise.
Also how does the suspension and handling compare, do you like that a lot more on the 400ex?

my dad got a brand new honda foreman 450es and rode it once. then it was mine. he told me i couldnt have it when he first got it.
i kept it for a few months, then traded it in for my 300ex

its very very easy to hot wire a 400ex but i dont think its good idea for me to say how

[TC17]

now that i'm riding it harder there is a big power difference. they feel different. i like the 400's feel. the front end feels perfect. the suspension is a dream. i was jumping 3 feet high 20 feet long in 2nd gear with was my 3rd. and i landed and it was just so smoth. i got back on mine cause i'm more used to it and i hit it harder and i got massive whiplash. it felt like i didn't even have shocks. my dad jumped 3 times and gave it to me. he was out of breath. i love the clutch on it. but i stalled it! AH! i tried to pull it out in 2nd and didn't give it enough gas.
