FX400 or 400EX
My dad emailed him, he said free shipping from colorado to georia, my dad emailed him back not believing it had free shipping and cost of the bike that low and the guy hasnt emailed him back since [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] , so i guess were going with the fx400 w/ the 02 upgrades.

Get the 400EX unless you have deep pockets full of money to fix the Dale often. You will be more happy being able
to ride or race than having to wait for the money,parts,or shop to fix the cannondale. They ARE a mechanical nightmare!
Not just the FX but all models. Just read all the post at cannondaleriders.com! Every one seems nice to one another over
there and help each other out alot and that is what makes the problems not seem so bad. But realy they ARE bad!
The C- Dales may out run 400ex's and shee's but only when they are running! which isnt very often.

Send the motor to ATK and they will do all updates. You can get a new ,Falicon, or balanced crank from in house and get every single potential problem fixed by ATK. Turn around is 2-3 days. I live by ATK and have been there 3 times in the last two weeks. ATK and Wade Wilcox formely of South Bay have formed an alliance/agreement to make these things run and last like they should.. A carb will be offered as well in January also.. They are no longer called Dales. It's ATK and ATK has addressed every single issue that the motors have ever had.. Only the people who haven't followed the ATK news think the Dales still have problems. They do and they're all fixable (Right Now)... Round one of the GNC will be proof of how many ATK's will be there.. Oh all ATK's will come w/ 450cc sleeves unless you specify the 432cc.. ATK has 40 tons of parts. They have 2-3-4- hundred of anything you need. You can buy fully assembled quads from ATK w/ ANY option you want!! Build your quad the way you want and pay for your individual needs right from ATK. You can't beat that!!!!
