Traded my 01 rancher 350ES for a 02 400ex pretty well all stock but clean and I know the entire history of the bike as well.

It came with a FMF exhaust not my first pick but it was free and AMS rear tires and a set of nerfs not installed and missing hardware. I put the Nerf's on my 08 and got some hardware from the shop and installed my AC's on it.

I put my stock airfilter on it was already cleaned and oiled and this one was lookin nasty lol, and I put my 08 OEM shocks on it instead of the 02's that were on it.

Looks pretty nice a nice linup to the rest of the bunch I think.

I know man, I had one guy wanting to trade me a yamaha warrior. Nice bike and all just not the same as the ex. I went and looked at it, they were shady. It was very loud in the top end and had oil on the jug. The guy told me that they pressure checked the oil galley around the cylinder. Well one why would they be checkin that and 2 that oil looked really fresh. Between that and the noise looked to me like it had bad rings and was pushing it out around the spark plug.

Not worth the risk lol.

This one I know the original rider lol that to me was worth more than the bike.

Thanks alot guys/gals Spent alot of time on them. The front 2 are my 08 400 and my 01 DS650 then my new 02 400.

The first 2 are modded heavily the last one will prob set just like it is for a long time to come be a backup/extra bike in case family or something wants to go riding with us.
