Default Honda 400EX to a 440?????

Is the 440 kit the best upgrade for a 400EX? WHo make it? Is it reliable? Do you have to machine cases? What is the best pipe?

Basically what would you do to a 2005 Honda 400EX?????




Thanks!!

-There is different companies that make 440 kits, mine is a Weisco.
-Mine is also reliable.
-You will need to have a different sleeve pressed in the jug.
-There is many good pipes, mine is a white bros. E-series

If I had a 05' model, I would just pipe it, jet it, and put a after market filter on it and be done with it for a while.

If you are looking for a big bore for a 2005 400ex let me save you some time and money.... Buy a faster quad to begin with. By the time you sink the money into the 440 kit and get all the parts you need to make it run like it should you can just about get a 450 and could easily get a z400 and modify that to a lesser extent.

The 400Ex is for my girlfriend and she only weights 115lbs. She can't kickstart the 450 otherwise we would just buy that. She wants electric start and reverse and the honda has that. I only buy honda.

I only bought honda too. Then I saw that the 400ex just couldnt compete and I have had 2 yamaha's and a kawasaki since.

You are really limiting yourself but I will respect your opinions and preferences.

True,
There's many bikes faster than the 400EX, there's quite a few bikes faster than your Yam and Suz also...What's the point?
The mentality 'mines faster than yours' is so childish. Unfortunately, we hear this all too often on this forum. POINT: Not all of us desire to have the fastest bike around. We just want to have some safe, dependable fun while were riding and get some respectful information while were here on this forum. Hopefully, we can all enjoy this forum in an adult manner...leave your child sense to Seseme Street. For those of you children that can't respect this...someday you'll understand that it's unlikely that you'll always have the fastest, badest ATV around. Other obligations and responsibilities and especially a recognition that someone will always have more money and time than you do, will have a faster ATV, and unless your a professional racer...WHO REALLY CARES?!! I'd guess we all have ATVs (why else would we be here?).

Sorry for the soapbox...I guess it's the result of a sh--ty day! Let's leave it alone now and have some fun!

Badbrad,

If he were simply looking for a 400ex that is one thing. But he WANTS it faster right away. Thanks for the speech, but it was completely unecessary and irrelevant here. Go preach to some kids somewhere else.

maddog,
I see you're one of the sensitive children that can't handle reason. You're hardly worth this reply. However, I seriously doubt that ghawkmans girlfriend, at 115lbs, unless she's been riding a 450 or the like, will feel like the power of a 400EX is lacking.

Have you read this post?

He is asking about the 440 kit for the 400ex and how to make it faster and more powerful...

I do not appreciate your tone with me and I think you are out of line.
