Hey guys.. OK this is the 4th time my POS 00' blaster has seized so i am in the process of rebuilding then i will break in the motor and sell it for 1800. then i will have 3.500 i could get 4,000 if i needed... what do you think that will get me 400ex wise? i wasnt a honda man but the more i realized that the brands didnt matter its about what suites your needs.. the 400ex comes the closest for the amount of money i have... what do you guys think? thanks alot

ya, you will be able to, i'm asking $4000 for mine down here in oregon

kc

 

Like anything done with it? what is the condition and what year? juss trying to get an estimate of what ill be able to get.

 

Also one more thing... I am new to the 4-Stroke world dealt soley on 2-strokes... But i heard that with a 4 stroke you dont really need the full exhaust system ... for the most part its just the slip on? am i right? or have i been missed informed? another thing lol .. my buddy has a raptor.. (which is also in the process of a new top end it blew up also...) he complety stock.. except a 12t sprocket sometimes... if i had a stock 400ex and a slip on would i keep up? cuz that would be really cool! what slip on should i get? sorry for all of the questions thanks alot!

1) look at my sig, it has normal scraches, but it is yellow so you can't them intell your close up
2) No you don't need a full system, unless your motor is built
3) Mybe, if your light you will beable to win or berly get beet (if you have a good runing bike, mine i can take a stock raptor) it really depends on your whight!
4) Go with ether a white bro's, big gun, yoshi, or sparks, or maybe lrd.
sorry for my bad spelling! i hope i awsnerd all your questions! if you have any more just ask.

i got my 2000 400EX used. it cost me 3500 bucks and it came with:
stage 1 hotcam
nerf bars
sand shark paddle tires
holeshots front and rear
FMF power core silencer
jetting
new air filter
and lots of scratches

 

well, thats pretty cheap, how bad is the plastic?

kc

 

hey that is sounded pretty good... so lets say... i get a stock one... i shell out 200 buckjs and get a whitebros slip on... i weigh 145 pounds... how will i compare to a stock raptor? actully we are installing a k and n... lol i dont care if i beat him i just dont want to get killed like i did on my blaster... lol sounding good though thanks guys im pretty siked..*spelling* i cant wait till i get it.. it will be about a month or so probably i still have to sell the blaster and i need 3 more pay checks.

 

here in virginia beach my girlfriend just paid $3000 for a stock 2002 400ex. it is in almost perfect condition. the plastic is hardly scraped the rims dont even have many marks the tires are just bald cuz the guy rode it around the streets of his neighborhood.

 

400ex is decent stock, but remember to re jet the carburator if you add a slip on or it'll run terrible. Mine is bone stock and it is fun but no where as fun as my ATC 250r. My friend with the Blaster is ready to get one too. He is tired of getting wasted by the bigger bikes. A raptor is so much faster than the 400EX but not as fast as my 250r 3 wheeler.
