Sweet Rico. That looks exactly like mine(Excludoing the red Swing arm and Red a arms)

Lets see a poic of yours Bills. I wanna see how long it is in comparison to mine. It looks in the pic like they are just about the same size.

Who polished your motor mounts?

01-13-2003, 06:49 PM
is it mx ro xc quad? im thinking its mx from them dang ol tires

01-13-2003, 06:52 PM
There's a pic of the bills shorty in the powertrain forum..;)

the motor mounts are chromed so they never need polished..:D

and freeride,,it's got the MX look now but I'll be postin pics of it setup for both MX and XC here in a week or so,,I got lots of parts ta swap around to race in each different condition.:macho

Very nice. I like the Black Frame with Red A-Arms and Swingarm. Only thing I would go is get Chrome Upper Arms and a Chrome Stem.

Prove 'em all wrong Rico, just take it off the stand and ride it just like that. You don't need handlebars or a seat. J/K

Looking good, I can't wait to start reassembling mine.:D

So how hard was it really to take it all the way down to the Frame and remember where everything went?

Actually it's not really taht bad as long as you TAKE YOUR TIME...that's the key. if you don't plan on replacing a-arms or swingarm,,you can pull the rearend and front end off in large pieces. Keep the bolts with the parts they go to,,and label stuff. Honestly it went WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than I thought...but if I hadn't replaced the swingarm and bolt a few months ago I wouldn't be so happy with how it went...:)

Dave400ex
01-15-2003, 02:28 PM
Yeah I would just pull the whole Rear End off and the whole Front End off so I didn't have so many parts/bolts. I think the biggest thing would be all the wiring.

Negative my good man...the wiring is not that bad at all. But I've also got extensive wiring experience since rico jr. chewed up my wiring harness 14 times...:eek:

Damn Rico, I just noticed yours look puuurty similar to mine in color!! I have done this tear down and put together stuff so many times I can close my eyes and do it, I can tell you what size bolt goes in each hole without looking!!! The wiring part is pretty simple, its the remembering where all the tiny parts go! You definately want to label everything!! Here is a pic of mine the "first" time I was puttig it back together!! Of course there has been much more "bling bling" added this time and oh yeah,,a motor!!

Dave400ex
01-15-2003, 05:38 PM

Looking good Rico. I have a question for all though, I may answer it though. Why do some 400ex's say Fourtrax and some Sportrax? I havent seen a Yellow one that says Fourtrax, is that it? The color? Year, if so what? Thanks, I have always wondered.

6. Poster.


Come on make it a lil harder.

Rico: Now that I am looking at your Pipe. yours is about 2 inches shorter than mine. I though they were gonna be about the same size the way you talked beofer you cut it. I like the lenght of that one better than mine.
