RINCON: I love my 400EX for sure.. It handle very well and wheelie like hell.. It's my kind of bike all the way. When doing trail riding, I usually switch between 3rd and 4th gear.. When riding a long straight trail, I can go in 5th gear and hold the bar firmly cause it's going pretty fast (for a trail ride).

I mean, I like that quad. The only reason why I want to sell it is because I need some change now.. Need something new... I would like something liquid cooled and a little more powerfull. A Suzuki Z400 or a 450EX would do it. I only weight 150lbs and I am 5'8", I don't like big quad.

 

a DS would be a handfull then wouldn't it!! lol i'd wait to see what honda's new quad is, KNOWSALOT let a little info slip, a MX pleaser, sounds good to me (it won't be an overly big quad)

 

i can picture honda giving the 400ex an aluminum frame for next year to give it an edge over the suzuki...

 

aluminum frame yes..................same motor.........i hope not!! nothing wrong with the current motor, i just like to see changes!

 

RINCON: yeah, there is something wrong with the motor, it is air cooled. The new quad will need to be liquid cooled to support the competition. Here we sometimes get temperature of 30-40 celsius during summer wich is VERY hot. This is very painfull for the 400EX.. even for other liquid cooled quads.. but especially for my 400EX. I hate that.

well do they make a larger oil cooler??

anyways i know what you mean, my Kodiak is L. cooled and i still stay home when it's anything over 30 degree's

 

RINCON: there you go.

KNOWSALOT: Ohh man, should we take that as a good smile or as a bad smile? hehe
