Ive had my 400ex for four years so far and the only thing that ive had to do to it is change the spark plug out and ive only had to change the oil about three times.

I had a 400ex for a chunk of years and only thing i did was put some new tires on it and change oil, never had a problem with anything ever and i beat the crap out of it. Honda has always been the most reliable out there and hasn't changed. I do think the yamaha 450 is a good machine though and faster than the 400ex, i would definately buy one if i got another one. Can't go wrong with either machine, if you want more speed the 450 is your choice. 400ex is a good trail riding machine if you don't need to be flying.
