    Sounds like you need a clutch.

    Check the free play in your clutch lever. Also, if you half shift it a lot, you round off the engagement dogs and it makes it really hard to shift and it gets stuck in between gear all the time.

    I love it when these people who beat the pi$$ outta their quad, and when something wears out, the quad is a peice of $hit. Don't ride it if you can't afford to fix it. It sounds like the clutch.

    I would look into a nice, used Yamaha Breeze. It sounds like it would suit you better.

    yeh that is total junk sell it to me for $500.00 I will paypal the money to you today! you could use it as down payment on a new yamaha ! heard the breeze has no shifting problems and is easy to navigate! sounds like you need to get a service manual and 50.00 bucks in clutch parts. :devil well after reading your older threads I see you have had an on going problem for month ,you said it only slipped in 2nd , if it was fine in 1st and 3rd then you have a problem in the tranny and need to tear it down.(split the cases) If it was slipping in all gears when you punch the throttle or on a incline then the fibers are gone, and could proubly use a set of heaver clutch springs. and file the basket, A little advice ,in case you have not noticed people here are pretty fond of the 400ex and proubly are not going to be to sypathitic of people that bash them try bluetraxx, they flame each other all day long!
