I'm a new 400 owner and have been doing alot of searching on this site, i found alot of useful articles and my favorite one is the krud kutter, that stuff works awesome. I decided to retire from motocross due to injuries so picked up this clean 2001 honda 400ex. I was told it's a 416 with a stage 2 cam, but i have my doubts, i does not feel fast but i can only compare it to other quads i have owned in the past, 250r, raptor 686, etc..I have full intentions of setting this quad up for mx as i will probably play around on the track some. I have been looking at 2+ a-arms and i'm shocked about the price, and of course i will be picking up some honda 450r shocks. Is it really necassary to go wider with this quad to make it handle decent on a track? Back to the motor, Is the stock bore 85mm or 87mm? Do oversize bores go in .040 increments? It has stock plastics, i plan on going with maier race plastics and adding a carbon fiber hood, only problem is i can't find any hoods, quad tech has there hoods listed as discontinued.. Any suggestions? Thanks
