Good stuff. Hope that carb tuning doesn't give you to much trouble! The weather actually went down hill again. We have had a lot of freezing rain and sleet. Not fun

Nah. Nothing i cant handle. Im also tweaking a buddies ktm525 with the same carb. And his payment to me was a R&D power bowl 2. He got one for me and one for his carb. And can i say instant throttle response? These carb quads rev like fuel injection now lol. And more tuning screws to mess with instead of jets to change. Gotta love it!

One of my buddies 450's has a throttle that snaps like crazy. He does more of a motocross type riding. I think I would just hurt myself if I had that LOL

They are mind blowing. The power just seems to never end. You can lug them through the low RPM's with out down shifting. I also love the look of the 450's vs the 400's

I am familiar with Yamaha ZY 250 two strokes and would interested in a similar model (CRF or ZY) just to see how they perform in 4 stroke. I remember the 2 strokes were animals and suspect with the technology today, the 4 strokes are impressive as well.

2 strokes used to be where the power was at. I rode a Suzuki Quadzilla that a buddy used to have. I never even got out of 2nd gear because I felt that I may die. I wish I could go back and ride it again. I've always wanted to try a banshee they sound so mean. I love that pinging noise of a 2 stroke.

You wont come in dead last. I was in the same boat 2 years ago. I did zero racing for over 10 years. Went out and just wanted to no be in everyones way. And i took 3rd out of 10. It all came back to me pretty quick.

Hopefully lol... I tore my ACL, got a severe concussion and broke 2 ribs in a bad crash during a race. I'm still shook when I get on the bike but I need to face my fear and get back to racing. I'm not sure if you could see in the video, but since the crash I haven't opened up my gray four wheeler. I am comfortable on the old 300. A couple months after the crash I actually was taking pics to put all my bikes up for sale. Lucky for me my dad talked me out of it and told me to wait a couple more months to think about it.You should always be having fun on a honda

My gray 400 was totaled. The only thing that was usable was the Nerf Bars and maybe the bottom end. One of my dads good friends (And my tire sponsor for my Buggy) took my bike and rebuilt the whole thing ground up. He powder coated the frame, new tires, new bars, new rear swingarm, new front shocks, new plastics, etc. Since I was stuck inside I didn't even know my bike wasn't in my garage. I'm not going to lie, the first time I saw that bike I was overwhelmed with emotions (And also on a lot of pain killer drugs lol ) I just stood there and started crying haha.

Yeah i bad crash ended my youth racing. Almost ended my life aswell. Mom sold the parts left of my quad and i didnt ride again till i was 16 and got my own quad. After that i went to the 400ex and havent looked back. I got in a fight with a tree 2 years ago and broke a few ribs a shoulder blade and collapsed a lung. I was told by a bunch of people getting back on was gunna be hard. I had zero problem with anything but hills. They still freak me out. I did go up the hill right next to the tree that took me out last year. Took alot of time to do that. Mentally it was tougher then actually doing it lol. You will be fine. Go rip that machine! Shes asking for it!
