[Moded86R]

For all you guys with alot in your motors.What made the biggest difference?


I am going to have around 400 to spend.Maybe 500.Right now I am thinking a cam.But when I get a cam I think I should get a higher compression piston.


All's I know is this bike needs more power.Low end is pretty good.But up top she has nothing.I want the front end to come up when I shift into 5th.Right now it does it in 3rd.

I don't want to cheap out.I am thinking a sparks x-6.But I don't want to spend all the money and not be happy.




Thanks for any advice.

[Tommy 17]

406 piston 130$ +50$ to bore it out
tc mx grind cam 205$
carb mod 60$
full race porting 250$
stk mod pipe 20$
k&n filter 40$
200$ labor


had a lrd pipe but sold it bc it was 2 loud:o

Your gonna spend a pretty penny on motor mods to make it wheely in 5th gear...:eek2:

I spent $300 on minor motor mods and it really woke up the quad. I don't think i've ever wheelied in 5th gear...:huh SSD rear shock won't let me I don't think.. Heck i can barely get the front wheels off the ground in 2nd or 3rd..:huh

I would agree with doing the high compression piston and cam at the same time which will run you around $286 including gaskets. and getting a full exhaust system and a high flow air filter. You will notice a big difference in power

i don't think you shock has got anything to do with it, it's probably your beer gut if anything :huh




:eek: :blah:

[muff]

I've wheelied in 5th before...but not from shifting into 5th

I think for you to shift into 5th and have the front wheels come up you'd need a -2 swingarm on a 500cc banshee...lol

no really tho, if you are looking for some power gains get a high compression piston and a cam, and then a carb, they will all work awesome together

a stock bore piston (11:1 comp.) w/ a fcr carb actually works pretty good

you're looking at
-$120-150 for a piston, 11:1 compression works good
-$120 for a hot cam
-$450 for the 39mm fcr carb

and that'd give you a pretty good setup for around $700, which would show noticable power, but do the piston and cam first, then get the carb once you have some more bucks

[Matt756]

i put nothing into mine yet but i thinking about a white bros slip on so right now $0.00

[Moded86R]

I was riding today.Sometimes when I shift into 4th it would come up.Never 5th though.I think I am going with an HMF slip-on first.See how that works out.I think I am going to get other stuff for it first.

[Smokin 440]

I would say go for a K&N w/ outerwares and run without your airbox lid, with a change in jetting and the pipe, you will love it

[Moded86R]

I just bought a new UNI friday.It is bigger than the stock filter.So It should flow a little better.


I was looking on HMf's web-site.And the dyno sheet for the full system and the slip on is the same?:confused:

I also plan on getting air box lid vents.I don't like running my bikes without and airbox lid.Even if it is slower.

[Chanman420q]

TC cam - 230
FMF slip on - 270

500 bucks

got both used......

FMF - 70

Cam - 30

wow i saved 400 bucks and got the same performance:devil:

[Smokin 440]

I would guess the dyno is the same on a STOCK 400ex with both, but i would assume there would be more of a difference on a modded engine because the hmf header should have better flow...

check out that guys stuff, i think its a pretty good deal:)

[AndrewRRR]

Right around $10,000 in the R not including the hundreds of hours of labor. A little here and there, it adds up :mad:
It would take too long to list everything, don't wanna bore ya. lol.

[K_Fulk]

I guess i'll bore everyone.
330 -39mm Fcr
200 -x-6 pipe
25 - Uni filter
150 -for this heat dissipatingcoating on my inner cases cylinder and head
70 - In polishing the outer cases
900 -Full race port job oversived intake valves , stainless exhaust valves valve springs, valve guides, hardend rockers and megacycle cam
280 - 440 sleeve and 13:1 Je piston
90 - Heavy duty head studs
25 - CRF 450 timing chain
550 - Powroll stroker crank and Heavy duty rod
200 - GtThunder 8 plate clutch setup

Better be worth it. Most of it is payed for just waiting on the rocker cover i bought for my 440 motor so i can sell my 440 motor to pay for the rest of it.

[rr4406pak]

I put on a billet polished flaming oil filter cover. It kicks ***! $30 bucks and turns heads. Have not noticed speed increase, but jealousy increase as kids always asking me where I got it.

i got around 2 grand or so in my bike...just bought some stuff...ima be adding it to the long @$$ profile right now lol...so its prolly around 2 or 3 grand...in there
