400ex into a monster for 600$?? possible?
I'm looking at sport quads right now. Can't afford to buy a new one so maybe a 400ex would do the trick.
How fast could I make it go for 600$ Canadian (400$ US).
Lol 400$ sounds pathetic to upgrade a quad, so maybe a little more, whatever.
Exhaust, cam, jetting and filter??
Thanks

Your best bang for the buck would be doing something similar to my combo. A slip-on pipe, piston, and camshaft. Combine that with a ported(welds ground out) stock header and she'll beat piped Z-400's all day and run competitively with stock Raptors and Banshees. However those mods will run more like $500.00. If you can find a used EX with a pipe already on it then the piston and cam can be done for about $300.00.

Yea i'm looking for a used one already piped and with a filter or whatever.
What kind of piston should i use? In what price range would that get me in??
I don't want to sacrifice reliability for power. Well not too much anyway.
Also what cam are u using?? I was thinking Hotcam Stage I.
And, grinding out the welds on the header pipe, can that be done yourself (not really mechanically inclined :-( ), whats involved.
Thanks

Bore cylinder and fit rings $40.00
Factory Honda gaskets $25.00
Grind welds out of header with dremel Free
Put in 170 main, 42 pilot and move needle up one slot $10.00
Mine's been perfectly reliable since I've done these mods.

If you are not wanting to put in the cam and piston i would recommend getting a slip on pipe, grinding the welds on the header pipe, getting a K&N, and rejetting it. I just put a white brothers e series pipe on and did all the stuff i listed and what a wake up call it gave the power.
K&N = 35.00
Outerwears for filter = 10.00
Grinding welds = Free
White Bros Slip on = 219.00
Jet Kit = 40.00

Pro circuit T-4 slip-on:$214
Uni air filter:~$30
Re-jet:~$15
Grind welds on header: Free
Remove Choke: Free
Wiseco 11:1 stock bore piston kit:~$100
XR400 base gasket (thinner-in order to make sure you have true 11:1 compression): $Don't know-minimal
XR400 Cam:$160...you could save some cash here and use a hot cam ($130), but I would stay with stage 1.
This will eat Z400's and hang with raptors. And if you stay with the XR cam, you have all stock reliability. You won't have to worry about your starter going out or tranny screwing up like raptors...
