Thread: First Service?

    Unhappy First Service?

    When your 400ex first got broken in did it feel slower? After riding today my 400ex feels slower, when I jump on the gas it doesn’t take off like it did. Some times when you hit the gas it kind of bogs. Dose this mean its time to take it in for the first service and get the valves adjusted?

    Later,

    dirtwheels did a test awhile back that showed the 400ex producing the same HP after the valves had been adjusted WAY out of specs.

    valve trouble is not your problem. have you cleaned your air filter?

    I think I would also check and play with the adjustment screw on the carb, might be running a bit rich.

    Maybe your throttle cable stretched. Check to see if it needs adjusted.
