400ex axle carrier

[weeman69xx303]

i have a 2001 400ex and the axle bearings just blew out and im replacing the carrier and bearings, im not really sure what kind to get or if i should just stick to the oem one which will run me 400 from honda or 300 online

[chronicsmoke]

LSR makes one for ~200 with the bearings already installed..

I had one that was made by "RAD" i think. I bought it years ago and I always has a tough time getting the dual row bearings to rebuild it because the company used a bearing from an S-10 pickup i believeis what I was told. Each bearing would have run me 90 Bucks..

Id save the headache in the future and buy one from a company that has rebuild jkits available(LSR, RPM.. ect), or if you dont pound the **** out of your bike, find a used stock one and then you'll never have trouble finding the correct bearings.

that's way to much for the stock replacement carrier, i'm not sure where you were looking, but those prices are sky high.

You can get a OEM 400ex carrier brand new for under 100 bucks on ebay

here are the bearings for 20 bucks.

both items have free shipping. save your money just put a new oem stock on in there and it'll ride for another couple years.

one was from the honda dealer up the road from me and the other was from rockymountainatv.com. idk about anything off of ebay either

[hocman123]

there is a person on this site selling a stock axle carrier for 45 http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?threadid=455078&referrerid=78894

If you want a nice one I dont think anyone makes better axles and carriers than rpm.

Is your carrier toast???? If not just replace the bearing an seals. Last LSR carrier an bearings I bought was 130.00 from a honda shop, they are a big improvemnet over stock.

what do you mean "idk about anyhting off of ebay either".

those are stock oem parts that i linked bro.

you can go the expensive route that's fine i'm just saying your quotes were way to much for a carrier and bearings.

^^ another pointless post..

[2001400exrida]

much more meaningful than the one you just left.

are you jealous or something that i posted? does it bother you when i post on this forum? do you feel like you own the all threads on this forum? do you need a good ***** whoopin?

YES TO ALL

[weeman69xx303]

the ones you posed on there dont say theyre oem and have no info on them. idk about ebay because of the fact that theyre selling a "brand new" one for $300 less then the dealer is, i mean i know the dealers cost more but 300 more idk

[2001400exrida]

ok here's a straight oem honda carrier

the bearings you can get anywhere for like 20 or 30 bucks.

it's up to you i'm just trying to save you some money. I would hate to see you pay 300 for a new carrier and bearings.

[hocman123]

hi man the deallers cost a lot of money i went to a dealler get parts to replace my squiking a arm bearings and they wanted more then 250 for the bearings and the seals ebay 140 for every part on the a-arms saved me a bundle

[weeman69xx303]

K&K has gibson billet carriers for $130 which is a really good price and they last.

[weeman69xx303]

ended up with one from east coast atv on ebay only paid $90 and they dont sell a rebuild kit but for that cheap ill just get a new one each time. A friend of mine uses them on his 450 and he said they hold up good so ill see how mine holds up

[2001400exrida]

good deal, keep us posted.

glad you didn't pay the outrageous dealer prices.
