How many lengths will a 400ex beat a 300ex in a 100 yard race?

 

It will not be a race, with all other variables even. The 300 might be in field goal range when the 400ex gets the touch down.

 

So your saying the 400 will win by about 20 to 25 yards?

 

Yeah, maybe 30.

At 100 yards it is all top speed. The 400 goes roughly 55 and the 300 is about 48.

 

no the 300 goes about 58 to 63 and the 400 goes about 65

I highly doubt that!

 

well buddy we clocked them

 

clock em again, you might find that ur method of clocking speeds to be way off. the vapor speedo on my 250x showed it to hit 53 on a normal day and thats flat stock, the 400ex might run 65 but i know any higher then that would be pushing it...

and then again them vapor speedometers are junk so i may be a little off from the real top end speed.

the 400 will take the gold but with the right rider the 300 may be able to get the holeshot.

 

A 400ex might hit 65 with a gearing change or with a couple mods.... but stock I would say probably about 60...... the 300 might hit 55 on a good day in perfect conditions.....

If there is one thing I've learned in all my years of off-road riding, it is that people always seem to get odd top speeds...... and the thing is that top speed is all about gearing. I've seen two identical ATVs have different top speeds and it was later found that the one had a two tooth difference in the rear sprocket.... no one knew until we counted them they were supposed to both be stock but obviously one had a gearing change done and no one knew it.

I had a Warrior that would do 65 easy...... I later wanted more low and an realized it had a 15-tooth front sprocket on it, with 22" rear tires. I dropped it to 13 and probably dropped the top speed to about 55 or so in the process......

 

yeah ive seen sprockets change top speeds by quite a bit.
