[2006 400ex slsd]

yea that would be crazy

[a4guy]

Id rather put sand tires on a crotch rocket then spend that much on the turbo setup for that thing. That is crazy fast though.

in what way is the ds faster hell i would kick my own *ss if i even was to let that cross my mind. no way thay are slow as hell i race them at the track time to time. maybe top speed but i dont think so. man take about $300 put it in to your 400 and it will do what you need. hell i will even hepl u find good deals on parts.

is your motor stock? if so go with a cam.

stage 1 hot cam i can get the all day for $129 shipped new
then get a 450r carb around $150
then get a key cut from some one on here cuts them a +3 or +6 $30 to $60 so all and all you will have at the most $309 to $339 and it will walk the dog on that ds 650 and others.

[2006 400ex slsd]

ok ok bring that 400 to my house and well drag race quad for quad:devil: :devil:

[400ex=awesome]

i raced one and i blew him away with my 416

[2006 400ex slsd]

yep i bet u did

[bkelley]

Those things actually haul pretty damn good on the dunes stock with a nice set of paddles.

What's your problem? Not everyone cares about having a "drag bike"

The DS650 is a large, beautifully riding dune quad. With the right shocks, they can float over things a 400ex couldn't dream of. And with the right bolt-on mods, they can fly.

And how would he mod his 400ex if he already traded?

Man I wish you would come up here... You may be the "fastest":rolleyes: down in your part, but their are dirt quads used for trail riding that would destroy your 400ex in a drag up here..guarenteed.

[IMSROLL450R]

The guy that you GAVE your 400 to is laughing...... I would be too....

[sc400ex_rider]

They just seem so big to me. also they have the wheelbase of an old VW beetle. they might be good on the dunes though.

[flyboy1294]

Hey man good for you!

I bet half the guys that are bashing the DS have never rode it... or even rode an ex in dune application.

Those bikes make great duners. I think you'll be pleased. Also, for the record, air-cooled engines + high heat, heavy load environment = huge performance fade.

And it's sorta odd seeing people that think the fourhundy is still the fastest bike out there. :huh

[dan5]

If your going to use it only for dunes I think that it was a good choice for you.But if your going to do part dune and part trail riding I think you should have kept the EX If it was me I would have kept
the 400.Thrown A pipe, Jets, Filter and a timing key on it and had just as much fun

[Hondamaster5505]

You guys are underestimating the power of those 650's when they're opened up a little...

A decent exhaust, intake, and possibly cam make them a hell of a runner. Very broad torque range. Plus I love how they have a tachometer haha

[JOHNDOE83]

Hondamaster is right, with the right work that DS can easily be faster then a big bore EX.

It just needs money$$$ It will haul A** with the right mods.

I agree with the broad torque and power range with the DS, I would even take one over a 660 raptor, with the power the DS puts out, you could tune that thing to spin some HUGE paddles and be alot faster then most other quads.

Exactly. I think they're faster then the 660's, handle better, and have more potential.

I've seen stroker 650's with cams, carb, cdi box, and exhaust. They HAUL.

I love the way those machines feel. So roomy and comfortable, and they ride amazing.

[Hondamaster5505]

They can be jumped just fine too haha
