Can't wait to ride her, I blasted up and down the street real quick. I looked it over again real good, changed the oil, set tire pressure and adjusted my clutch lever. Now I'm just waiting on this storm to hit so I can go riding. I set the tire pressure to 10psi is that too high?

Congrats. That's a real nice looking 400EX and you got reverse to boot. Good deal. 10 PSI sounds a little high. Probably should be from about 3-4 PSI, but I'm not positive. Some of these other guys that own a 400EX should be able to tell you for sure.

I'll be doing donuts in the street, I had an 05 450r I am well aware how bad sport quads are in the snow. This 400 has beat rear tires so its not going anywhere if there is any more then 3 inches.

I run about 3 1/2 in the rear and 5 in the front but mine are 6ply I would run about 4 in yours.
Nice looking quad great choice the reverse is so freaking simple on the 400. And you got a FMF Powercore4 SA exhaust to boot!

Congrats, 10 psi might be a bit much. I use 7psi all around when racing and 4 psi when on trails.

^^^^^ agreed most people only put 10 to 15 psi. in a tire when first mounted to seat the bead then back the pressure off to about 5 psi.
