What do yall think about them? I bought two and love them both. My son wants an exhaust put on his. Any advice on CHEAP but good ones for power not noise. I am debating on some new treads for mine. The guy at Honda said dont waste your money they dont need them. I dont ride sand much, I mostly stay on the trails so I dont need paddles. Also, I talked to a guy yesterday who said Honda oil has clutch oil in it and I shouldnt use straight 10-40. Anyone know anything about that?

 

well i ride a 07 400ex which was bone stock until about a year ago, i slapped on a FMF Q4 slip on exhaust and a K&N filter, it made a world of difference it pulls so much harder. This pipe did cost around 300 bucks though. You said you didn't want to much noise this one seems to be pretty quiet since it has a silencer. i did see a review on a 700xx where they stuck the same system as they have on mine and they said it pulled much harder throughout the entire rpm range. As far as tires I did stick a pair of ITP hole shots on mine, these things lock up very well and they are also 6 ply so they will last a very long time. mine have hardly any wear on them and there a year old of hard riding.

 

The guy you talked to is correct you want to use a oil that is JASO MA rated (back of oil bottle) for clutch ed trannys. Here is a good read on oil.

You will end up burning up the clutches if you use standard 10W40 oil!

 

Thanks for the input. I run 10-40 in my utilities, but they are electric shift. I am gonna start getting the good stuff for the 700s. Were you the pilot of the gunner? (avatar)I road tanks during my many moons in the Army.

 

I'd love to have 1 of them 700xx's for around 5 grand out the door at tops forget this 8 grand bs.Way country is going only bankers an rich people are gonna have toys.

 

i agree with jreid i think exhaust and a filter does wonders but i always get the full exhaust and i also run holeshots and love them they do great in the trails, i run the HD's

 

I would be surprised if Honda brand oil has friction modifiers in it for wet clutches.

Valvoline 10w40 ATV oil has been good to me.

along with friction modifiers for wet clutches it is rated API SF/SG/SJ and meets JASO MA specifications.

 

Where's Recon when we need him!

 

ROTFLMAO, now that's funny right there!!
The thread is almost as old as when he left in a huff!!

 

I hate to bump this old thread anymore but... I've driven a 700x and I'm not sure what kinda trail riding you would be doing that you would need to pipe that monster??!!
