Default Engine swap for 400 ex


Has anybody out there put either a XR600R or a XR650L engine in a 400EX . Dirtwheels magasine put a XR600R motor in a Laeger chassis and wished they had gone for the XR650L motor because of the electric starter. I know DEANFASTWAY on dirtrider.net has put a XR600R motor in a 400EX chassis and I wanted to know what everybody else did. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
