A couple things.
About to cooling, with only having the 416 you shouldn’t have a problem with heat. I added to the scoops to my bike and didn’t notice a difference

About the caps. I have a couple off one of my parts bike that I could send you, PM me

I agree with the heat not being an issue to an extent. But i cant help but notice there are sand tires on this quad. And if hes riding in sand then he will 100% have over heating issues. I only ride a sand quarry sometimes and it get so hot i can feel the heat come up through the seat. Sand is a whole different animal. Its like your riding in an oven.

I didn’t catch that, good eye slammed. I never have ridden in sand so I wouldn’t know :)

If only they had liquid cooled on the Honda 400ex. I think you would quite literally have a tank. And no problem bro :)

Okay, got her all wrapped up today!! Fired right up and is mostly broken in haha

So far all i can say is WOW. What an beast. This thing has no issues pulling the front up lol

But, go figure, my starter soleniod decided to give up, so new started soleniod ordered.. right now ill stick to jumping contacts

Also went back to an OE chain tensioner. Idk, just dont trust myself to set it right and would rather just not worry about it.

Also ordered new front plastics so i can get rid of the dang race cut up front. Shes just about done!!! (for now)







Want to say THANK YOU to everyone that helped!!

Done this before^^^^^. The detent that holds the choke in the positions is worn out. There is a tiny little ball in the plastic that drops into the holes in the metal plate with the screw that holds the arm on. Either the ball is gone or the metal plate has a groove in it.

Your welcome! The bungee trick works. Ive ran more then a few races that way. Until i got the fcr. It uses a pull out plunger style instead of a lever action choke.

Okay. So finally got today to actually ride the quad. Curious tho if it’s already getting too warm. My head is about 300-350, right at the spark plug about 4-450, intake side about 250-300, oil tank about 180 and cooler about the same as the tank. This sound about right? This is using a cheap IR temp gauge

Those nunbers are high. Not insanely high. But higher then i would like to see. Although it is winter and temps will be cold so it will be running leaner then when your riding in the summer. It is very very hard to jet properly in the winter. I would suggest waiting till it warms up to your normal ambient air temp to jet it. But again if your riding sand dunes go up a few extra steps on the main and i wouldnt be shocked if you need a 45 pilot jet. Full pipe, cam, 416kit i was running a 45 pilot with mixture around 2 turns out.

If you want to PM me your email or phone number i can send you my setup. I used a 4 or 5 inch spal water proof dust proof fan and i mounted it on the engine side of the oil cooler. I used a puller fan so it pulls cool air through the vents in my hood and blows right at the head cooling fins. You can feel air on your hand holding about a foot from each side of the engine. I also wired it on the stock headlight switch since i dont have a headlight anymore.
