Picked up a 2000 400ex tonight. It needs a little work. The cam went bad and messed up the head and rocker cover. The guy bought a new head, rocker and cam. He never got around to putting it together had some personal issues and put it up on CL ... it's got a pro circuit T-4 slip ... Douglas front rims and 1 ITP rear.. . Mayer front plastics with a hood scoop. New seat with a gripper cover... plastics are race cut. I'll post up some more pics later here's the one I do have... The front plastics are in the truck.
not right now that's for sure., . . . I gotta get shed of a couple of what I got now . . .The Mrs. has laid down the law. . LMAO This was a deal. . . I have been looking for one for a few months now. . .
Yeah.... back to the bike.... lmao... I'll get some more pics up later... The suspension is nice and tight no looseness in the tire rods or the swing arm
I sure don't blame you there !!!.lmfaoooo. I never..ever take anyones word for it..when it comes to used atv's when they tell me they did this ?..did that ?..ehhhhh..no thanks..lol. I will tear it all apart..and go back through it myself..and see for myself what is what ?!..lol.
its working. . . Im on the laptop Phone is in my room on the nightstand. . . I leave it in there when I get home I carry it all fay I can do with out it for a few hours at night. . .
That's fine.... The guy put a cam in it and left the 2 dowel pins out that are on each end if the cam. The cam walked back and forth and ate the journals and rockers
not much to report. . . I won't bore anyone with the same old same old. . . I did get the quad up on the operating table, I figured out why I had a lean in the front. The right knuckle assembly was worn out probably from someone not tightening up the lower castle nut on the ball joint. I have removed both covers and flushed out the engine. I didn't find any catastrophes while I was rooting around. lol. I still have to cut the swing arm bolt out. Poor maintenance was the contributing factor with that. So far I have received all but 3 parts that I've ordered. My plans are just to build a great running 426. As soon as this weather warms up a little I'll be back at it. Here is a list of parts that I have ordered so far.
Wiseco 11:1 88mm piston kit
Sudco FCR39mm carb.
CRF450R timing chain
New Timing guides
New manual tensioner
New oversized oil tank
Bottom end gaskets
GT Thunder head studs
Stage 2 Magnum Cam.
Well I was getting everything ready to take to the machine shop for Monday . I reed my old head studs to find 2 had heilicoils.... great... another cylinder. This is getting expensive... but you gotta pay to play.. haha
I have a virgin cylinder and sleeve if your interested, sleeve is no bueno but the cylinder is in good shape, head didn't even leak when I pulled it apart, haven't pulled the studs out yet but it had never been into, ever. The sleeve fell out of it in the pats washer too so it may save you some bucks at the machine shop but idk
