hello

[RustyStunts]

hey everyone....i bought a wrecked trx700 today at the auction....ive always rode a 400ex so i dont know much about this 700...is this a good quad for the track compared to my 400ex? this 700 i got has all four after market shocks im not sure of the name but they are red with adjustments on the resivors...the quad is not wrecked to hard so im thinking about keepin it...any advice??

[hondariderdylan]

what kind of track are you riding on?

the shocks should say a brand on them somewhere, if not they are probably stock

[RustyStunts]

they are elka shocks..all four of em...also has nerf bars and pipe...since it has a pipe does that mean it has a power commander??? and its missing a steering stem so im shoppin for one if you any one thats sellin one???

[hondariderdylan]

since it has a pipe on it then it should have some sort of fuel system tuner to compensate for it running lean with the stock settings

what kind of pipe is on it?

[RustyStunts]

this is it,,,i have everything for it besides the steering stem..what do u think?

[RustyStunts]

everything is strait on it...i have all the parts u see missing besides the stem

[RustyStunts]

..........

[RustyStunts]

do u think these front shocks will fit on my 400ex??

[hondariderdylan]

nice find, how much did you pick it up for?

i would search around and look for an aftermarket stem

as for those shocks going on the 400, measure them and then measure the shocks on the 400 and see if they are close, if they are then they might bolt up, im not very skilled in that area of things..


nice ballance pipe BTW.:cool:

nice ironman pipe BTW.:cool:

cool thanks buddy....is this an expensive pipe? and do u think motor or fuel work was done cause of the pipe?

[RustyStunts]

oh and it came out to about 2k with delivery/taxes and all

[hondariderdylan]

nice considering the new ones roll out the door for over 7k

that is one of the best pipes you can buy. loud, but still nice

there is no real way of telling but my guess would be no,my thoughts would be that if your going to rip open the motor for more power than it would at least have a nice set of tires on it(fronts at least) and the regular go fast stuff besides the motor, so i would say probably not

with that pipe on there then it will have to have a fuel programmer to run correctly. does it run? have you heard it?

[ceballos400]

shocks will fit depending on the length of the arms of the 400ex... won't fit stock arms

[RustyStunts]

would any have some wire harness relays for sale???i just got the quad but im missin the fi relay and one more i think?????

[One_Bad_400]

nice find. did they have any history on the bike? expensive bike to buy . put nice shocks and pipe, then trash it and end up at an auction. good you you i supose!! :cool:

when you say wrecked? what is wrecked on it? besides the missing stem and relays? (so weird someone would jack the relays?!?)

That might be retail, but the 700xx can be had for under $5000 in most places. There are many on ebay brand new for less then $5000.

i guess someone flipped it and to check the stem and what not they took the front off and lost the relays im guessing..it has a hour gadge on it and it says 153 hrs..and the quad is very clean over all..looks like it never seen hard mud..i just need these relays and im ready to go..here a pic of the ones im missing..its the 2 around the sides in the plastic tray in front..i have the middle relay but the 2 sides ones r missing and i cant even start it

[RustyStunts]

does anyone know where i could get these relays used!!!???

[RustyStunts]

pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

[scuzz]

I'm a moderator over at club700xx, I don't know where you could find them used, but I know where you can find them new.

The tops will be too narrow for your 400ex and the shocks will be too long and the springs will be set for a heavier quad.

I just ordered parts from them today, I placed an order last month also with no problems.

[700xxmaniac]

yeah they did a good job a geting all the parts for the pos sportsman 700 i used to have.... and the prices aint that bad...

[RustyStunts]

i ordered the same stuff from service honda and it was about 40$ cheaper then babbits...so service honda has my vote

[hybrid.mx.11]

it might be because the tires were a little flat but it looks kinda twisted dunno tho id go over it again with a fine tooth comb id love to see what one of those are all about except the independent suspension i dont really care for never have im sure its awesome though and if you got it for a good price it was a great buy it will spank that 400 red .... pun haha... good luck
