Finally finished my beater project AKA the wifes bike. I did it super low budget and it actually worked out quite well.
Its got the following NEW parts:
Crankshaft (hotrods)
Piston rings (oem)
valves (oem)
timing chain
all new internal bearings
all new gaskets and oil seals
cables
brake pads
mx bars
chain
battery
and rear tires
This was all done on a budget buying new parts on ebay mostly.
I only have $1100 into it including the price of the 400ex itself. Not bad considering its got some new tires, brakes and pretty much a brand new motor top and bottom. It runs like an absolute champ! Figure in a year or two ill drop another $1500 into it and get some suspension, a 426 kit, cam and new plastics for it, but as for now, this is how she sits...first pic is how the motor came with the quad when i got it lol...
