As the owner of www.BilletBikeWorks.com when building our shop 400ex we wanted the best of the best for the motor. After speaking with Mike and Randy from FDO I was convinced to give them a shot. What I received back from them was a 483 stroker motor designed to last seasons at atime and provide us with speeds up the hill greater than what we achived last season on gas with nitrous. A tall order! After reinstalling the motor and dynoing on a local dyno the motor put down 54.8hp on a dyno that rarely sees those kinds of number out of high compression big bore raptors! and was 10hp greater than any 400ex ever dyno'd on that dyno before. We took the bike to glamis this past saturday and we were beside our selves with the amount of arm wrenching power this motor had from idle to rev-limiter! We were running around 57mph up the tall steep and long OLDS hill which is only 4mph slower than the fastest bike that attended last years 4 Stroke Wars, and that was with no tuning or tire changing to try and improve our time. Hats off in a huge way to FDO racing and to anyone looking for a TOP teir 400 motor builder FDO is without question the place to call! Im not sure if exriders allows links to shops but I'll put there phone number in incase they let it stay. 740-967-1078. As a shop owner I will without second thought be sending all of our big 400 motors to them in the future! here are some pics of the bike.....http://atvfanatics.com/6/ubb.x?q=Y&a=tpc&s=3886054761&f=4346095271&m=2516088854&p=1
