ok, so this is my very first post and I have a question for you guys.
so, I recently purchased a 99 400ex from a buddy and before I even picked it up it was getting a brand new 440 kit put in. so the guy who put the big bore in ( another friend) wanted to be the one to break it in and do the jetting. I went along to ride the machine with him while we jetted it.
ok, so when we were riding I noticed a signifigant lack of torque in the bottom of the powerband. so much so that a stock 400ex was pulling away from mine at the bottom of any gear from a rolling start. oh yeah, my quad also has a stage two hotcam, which i know produces mid to high power.
the kid who put the 440 kit in swears that the clutch was slipping from the increased power. I couldnt tell because of a lack of experience.
so, is this a common problem with the 440 or could it be something else?
p.s. I was pulling strong from the stock 400 on a long run through every gear once i got to the top of my powerband.
hey thanks in advance guys!!
