Whats up guys, great site, been looking on here for a while and finally joined. Question is, i live in west Texas and believe it or not am having a hard time finding a shop to work on my 00 400ex. Needs some top end work, timing chain and some tlc on the carb. Does anybody know of a reputable shop in the San Antonio or Austin area that could do this work? I would do it myself but some punk decided he wanted my tools more than i did and broke into my shop.....freaking punks. Thanks a bunch guys

well unless someone knows a good shop around there, I would find a honda dealer and take it there. Also alot of times it just a bad tensioner on the timing chain.

well your better off buying more tools...they will charge you 4X the cost of tools and than you have them for the nxt project!

I’m a little too far east of you to help with a shop but I can assure you a dealer will charge top dollar to do repairs. Keep looking and maybe someone here can help you.

Hey Nitro..

I live in Austin and I use Zabor's Cycle Shop. They've done cylinders for me, pressed cranks and bearings, valve jobs, anything related to motorcycle and ATV, the guy can do it. He's wont kiss your ***** like a shop will. Tell him what you want, he'll do it reasonably priced and reasonably quick with exceptional results.

I wouldn't let anyone else around Austin bore or do a valve job for me.

Check him out.
