Hey, since this is the best place for peoples opion about fourwheelers in the whole world, i was just wondering if u could help me. My friend that lives down the road has a 400 ex. about 2 weeks ago he rode it to a friends house witch was not to far away. he left it there for a week and that next weekend he went to get it and it just would not start. the engine is turning but its not fireing. we though it could be the oil because he run a very thick racing oil. but now we think thats not it..would the timing have any effect on it starting?? if so would it happen that fast in one ride? he says that when he started it to go to his friends it started just fine...thanks for any of ur help, were just anxious to get them fixed so we can ride!

IF he tryed more than 5 times to get it started and it didn't fire,,I'd say the plug is fouled,,,400 are very very easy to foul a plug,,tryin to start. Also make sure the run switch is in the run position..:D
