Murphy's law is the most accurate law in the world.

If the 400ex got updated with a reverse gear, then that would be pretty good. If I were Honda, I'd eliminate the 250ex and make the 300ex an auto clutch machine with easier reverse.

 

why eliminate the 250 when the motor comes off a utility quad and are making anyways? all they hafta do is make plastic...in all reality...it would be about easier to eliminate the 300 if hey were looking at the best possible way of saving money....
plus with out the 300 production lines the 650 could be built on the 300's old lines....

 

Don't forget liquid cooled. The main thing I don't like about the 400ex is the fact that it get's really hot when you put around on it, or get in tight trails for long stretches.

 

ya buddy why would they mess with an already bulletproof machine? exactily they wouldnt...that 400ex motor will outlast ur craptors motor in any generation...

 

Calm down there Jim! He was just making a suggestion for a 400ex upgrade, and I would agree that it would be nice for Honda to do it, but then they would raise the prices [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

im calm...i guess my word selection is a lil agressive...haha...sorry!

 

Don't make things up, you don't even own a 400ex. I ride mine full out for 10 minutes and it is probably jkust as hot as your raptor is after a ride that long. Even riding around slowly it doesn't get that hot. Liquid cooling is good, and I wouldn't mind at all to see the 400ex motor being liquid cooled. It just sounds to me like you were making assumptions.
