My dad picked up this 02 400ex with a white bros. e-series, jetted/w a K&N. It pulls real hard. Plastics are great. He paid $1700. Here is a pic of it and also my modded 300ex. My dad recently got his stock 01 300ex stolen right out of his garage along with many other things. But here ya go. Tell me if he got a good deal. I think he did.

Good machine. I like the White Bros pipes.

I think it sounds really good. It has good back pressure I think. Lots of lowend power. I also noticed it has a 14T front sprocket instead of the stock 15. My dad seems to like it. He mostly putts around, but every now and then he will get a wild hair and start hittin some trails and powersliding. I think he gets that from racing dirt track stock cars.

Anybody else go any pics of a 300ex & 400ex together???

Looks like it has extended a-arms to. also, pretty sure 05+ had 15t sprockets and 99-04 had 14t. could be vice versa.

They aren't flipped they are 2+3 offset rims. Thats why they look like that. I don't like that offset either. My dad is thinkin about gettin some 3+2's or even 4+1. My 300 has some front wheel spacers. I don't jump it or anything i'm just a weekend warrior type guy. And in the winter I have a small flat indoor dirt track near me I goto.

Ok, Yea some 3+2 would be better or if you go with some arms later down the road the 4+1 would be even better than the 3+2's.

I agree. I doubt i can talk my dad into a-arms and an axle. But I bet I can explain to him how much stress those rims put on his front end and get some 4+1's. Thats what I run

What's the point of 4:1's if you have wheel spacers there? It's the same as running a 2:3 or worse.


$1700 is fair I guess. Not a steal by any means.

Looks good and clean though from the pic.

No not a steal for sure, but for the condition its in its a good price. NADA said average retail is alil over $1800.I already had the 4+1's. And needed it alil wider up front. I'm not a mx racer. They are just 1.5in spacers. Handles way way better then when it was stock. On the 300 thats is. Oh and also I put the 400 2+3 rims without the spacers on my 300ex and more brake caliper was showing then with the spacers and 4+1's. There is alot of rock around where I ride. I just know I'll end up tearing something up with the calipers exposed that much.

i just picked up a 2000 model
it has a 416 hot cam nerf bars new tires all the way around and a curtis sparks pipe...and a extendable axel

it needed a new head gasket
i gave 1000 for it
it even still has most of the factory paint on the nuts and bolts very clean bike..

i turned it all back to stock for my 14 year old daughter to learn how to ride...
:D

Good find man! I would have left the extended axle on it. The wider the better. Unless u ride nothing but trails.
