i have a bog standard 400ex (2002) and want to go faster but dont want to spend that much, my mate has a banshee with some mod's and beats me on top speed, i want to beat him!!!!!
thinking about a hmf slip on & k+n filter, any other recomended parts?

 

Let me first say, welcome to the boards. Now, in order for a 400EX to compete with a stock or mildly modded Banshee, you need some serious $$$ to do that. FOr a good starting point with your EX or any motor, you want to let it breathe. If you can afford a full exhaust, I would go with that, any company will give you a noticeable power increase but you may want to search to find the best one out there. Also, and this should actually come first, is a new filter set-up. I have ran a Uni clamp-on on almost all my bikes and it worked well, as long as you don't ride in water. From there, I would get a bigger carb, followed by a 440 bore kit and cam. That should get you close to a Banshee, I don't know if it will beat a modded one though. Just remember, have fun!

 

I agree.

 

Well both quads weigh the same so you will need to gain about 10 horsepower good luck.

 

No way you're gonna beat a banshee with a 400EX unless you drop thousands into it I'm old and like to sit backand watch and the 450 hondas can barely beat a stock banshee. So if you have a thick wallet go for it or buy a banshee,

 

ive seen stock 450's beat piped banshees so ya...and it would take a bit of money get a new front n rear sprocket try 16 front and 41 n back with 20's wheeles that should do u good againt a banshee dunno if beat it but not to far behind

1999 440ex
few mods

 

400ex is a good bike but like everybody is saying you would have to spend a lot t beat a banshee, if you even could! my advice is dont worry about losing to a banshee too much, just have fun! your buds bike is a little out of your league for racing........but not a big deal........

 

Take the EX and Banshee into a tight trail or MX track and see which one is faster[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]!

yes it is no doubt that a banshee is faster , but come on those things are so freaking ugly [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
