I am currently rebuilding a 2001 400ex. I am installing a big bore kit, port and polishing the head and doing a valve job. I was wondering if anyone could give me a link to the specs or blueprints for the engine and trans. I would also be looking for a service manual (the specs might be in the manual). Does the cylinder need to be bored out for the 440 bore kits or is it just pressing a new sleeve in? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

 

i talked to several shops before i put a kit n mine , for the 440 they told me they had to bire to the max & then put a sleeve n , i wanted a 426 but wasnt payin atten and got a 416 , they just bored it , i got a manual on disk , but dont no how to send u a copy

 

How much did you pay for your kit, installation and everything? I attend a technical college, and I think that I can get the boring done here for cheap to free. Also, how big is the file for the manual? Could you email it? I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Jason

 

piston kit retailed for little over 200 , but i got it for 160 , im a toolmaker & started to bore it myself but had the shop do it for 60 , and i put it all together myself (as far as the man ill check to c how big it is ,ive not ever e mailed anything other than just a message ,so i may have to get some help on that , ill get back to u

 

i think its 123 mb , does that sound right ? im not a computer buff

 

Thanks for the price info. About the manual, I'm not sure if you can send it in an email. I may be too big of a file. You can try to send it, by attaching the file to an email message. When you compose an email, there should be a button to attach a file. You may have to browse your computer to find the correct file. Once the file is attached, send the message. If you would like to try and send it that would be great. My email is jed5530@rit.edu. If it does not go through, could you let me know where I could get a copy? Is there a downloadable version online? I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Jason

 

i tried , but it would only allow up to 10 mb , ive seen them on ebay that u can download ( actually bought one but was never sent address to download) , a buddy got me one of the honda 400 dirtdike , its got a few minor differences like the kickstarter , butfor the most part the same

 

theres lots of websites that aloow u to email large files it really easy just look on google
