hmm funny how i said i dont do a whole lot of sand drags. and i know that my banshee doesnt hook up very well on dirt if i hit it too hard

 

Hmm....that's odd because I beat my buddy's 420ex in about a 300ft and then like a 800ft drag last weekend. I have tons more acceleration, and I still pull away on the top even with the 13tooth sprocket and 18" tires...but hey, if making stuff up makes you feel better, then feel free to keep doing so!

I can only say this. I saw two different 416EX's beat a Raptor. A Raptor is faster than a 450 Yammy in a drag over 500 or so feet right? And a 450 Yammy is faster than a 450R right? So one could conclude....
Not saying it will or won't happen. Just saying a modded 400EX is a pretty fast bike & I was impressed considering.

 

What hills are at Sand Lake? That place is comparable to the bunny slope!


Take your wheels to Florence or Coo's Bay, then get back to us!

 

first of all,a raptor is not faster than either 450 after 500 feet or before and a yfz450 is not faster than a 450r ill outrun 100 to 1. we have tryed several brand new 450s the honda wins with same weight, same skill rider but there very close

 

I'am not making things up and I'm not trying to say I'm faster I'm just going by what i've been told. You would have to ride my 400ex to appreciate its smooth consistant power. Basically what it comes down to is for alot less money you can build a comparable machine and prety much the same reliability. So quit making me sound like I'm some bull$hitter. I'll be the first to tell you that I don't know a whole heck of alot about the motor schematics. But I do alot of research on parts and what works the best with one another. the power of this machine is evenly distributed but has been geared to be in the bottom end which gives me a advantage and the powerband is incredibley smooth and extremly consistant. I pay good money for reliable power and with this machine I have what I want. I'm just trying to explain that this isn't like every other 400ex with a cheap cam and a back yard bore kit a lot of time and consideration has gone into the build up of this machine.

 

I believe you man.Today I have raced a yfz450 with stock 400ex.He beat me by about 4 length but on top speed we were even like at 70. with those mods i think you can beat a 450 if you have a good start

 

some people on this forum surprise me. some of these haters have nothing better to do than run off at the mouth about a topic that we all know is not true. i just purchased a 450r 2weeka ago and stock vs buddies 440exbuilt right. cause there is a difference between a slapped together 440 ex and a nicley built on with cam, carb and port and polish. which his has. i can beat him off the line and by 1-2 quads no matter the distance and he can ride. with hrc kit and 13 tooth. i beta him bad off line and by 300 feet 3-5 quads. then he slowly reals me in but never catches me. and thats do to sprocket. so quit with the stock bore stories and 416 crap

 

SPEEDBUMP CHECK your PM

 

I also live in Sheridan, what kind of jobs are you looking for, and the only sand dunes you are close to, is you are about an hour away from Sand Lake which is a toy box compared to Florence and Coos Bay

Anyways what kind of work are you looking for,
