Hi guys I am a proud owner of a 2001 red Honda 400ex, which I'll be picking up friday.
I thought about the raptor, but living here in Canada they cost around $9000+taxes. I've always loved Honda's, my dad has a 00 450es, heck I drive
a 86 honda prelude with 340,000kms without any problems.
So who here has a 400ex? any cool websites? or first mods to do?

Welcome... It's always nice to have new members. I noticed that you're login has stang in it. You wouldn't happen to be a fellow stang owner would ya? I've got a 93GT with 3.73's, MM full length subframe connectors, pro 5.0 shifter. Sorry for asking this on a quad site but I'm just curious if I'm the only stang owner on here??

First thing to do, check the adjustment on the throttle.

I have some 400EX pics on my site, linked below.

Or you can do what I did, spank it in racing, with the "no *****" bike....

A couple hundered people witnessed it last night, multiple times.

Yamaha still can't build a bike that handles. Poor guy was turning times with or below the Warriors & 300EX's, several seconds off the winning pace (in a 30 second event). I'll give you that it's relatively fast in a straight line, but if that's all I was concerned about I'd get a Banshee, even it's chassis balance is far better than a stock Raptor. Go away troll....

Let's see. . . .
A new guy comes in 'cause he's all happy that he just got a new 400EX! How cool! Congrats! Great machine, you're gonna love it.

Then some guy with a Craptor has to make a remark. Jeez, go back to the Yamaha forum. While you're at it, take your over-blown fragile ego trip with you.
