Pretty sure stock iirc. Dont waste your money on a CDI box btw, it wont help the 400 as it stops making useful power well before its redline.

What many perceive is a power gain is nothing more than a different ignition curve. The problem is all your paying for in most cases is a XR250 cdi. The other problem is it makes it a pain to start with such a cdi b/c its designed for a kickstart bike.
Id spend my money elsewhere, such as a port and polish on the head or an 04-05 trx450r carb.

My White Brothers CDI was well worth the money over 10 yrs. ago an I still run it. ANYONE getting to my neck of the woods can stop by an ride it with the stock CDI, an then with the WB CDI an you will see the differance whether your balls out across a field or fast trails in the woods. Its a 406 with Web cam, ported with 3 angle valve, 11:1 ......I don't believe all the aftermarket CDI's are probably the same.....some may be better than others....mine must be one of the better ones. Mine was worth the money an I wouldn't sell it an often recommend them to others, by the way when the 400EX came out it won the Baja 1000 in its class as a 416 with a White Brothers CDI.

WB CDI is literally an XR250 CDI. Seriously if you dont believe me buy one and swap it.
Look carefully at your CDI DragonGunner, it will say shindengen. Also notice white brothers initials arent exactly laser cut in it-more like hand scribed.

Even if it is "just" a xr250 box it works good on the 400ex. I like mine and also had the same results as dragon
