Ok I just drove my buddies new 400ex today. WOW that is a fast machine.....My 400L sport don't feel like that. I am guessing because my guad feels 60 lbs or better heavier. Also I think my polaris is bigger all around. Maybe it felt so torquie because it was a clutch bike? I am thinking I need a pipe, jet kit, air box kit, reeds, clutch kit. I hope I will at least be able to feel some power or torque. Maybe my quad needs a top end rebuilt. It is origonal. Nothing has been done to this thing at all. well except for a filter. Do you think I may be able to do some of this for $500-$600. At the moment I need new inner and outer clutch covers and a new belt.

MUST HAVE POWER!!! sorry about that.

i suggest a pipe and clutch kit and all the little stuff that can be done... like you said... and btw...
a 400ex isnt a fast bike... its the slowest of the "new" 4 strokes.

 

Add some "bubba"porting to that pipe and clutch kit and watch that EX over your shoulder[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Cool I hope thats all it takes. My quad and that 400 is the only 2 sport quads I have driven. That honda just seems light and nimble compared to my Sport. I just want to make sure he eats my dust when we ride together.

 

I am looking at Ritter's package It seems to be priced very well compared to Aaen, and hot seat. I hope it isn't a you get what you paid for kinda thing. I would rather spend the money if it is. I don't want to spend the dough and take it off because I don't like it. A good rundown of prats to look for (Brand Names) I know some people like to miss match stuff to get what they want. It all comes down to this.. I know very little on hopping up a quad. I know what I know only from reading. I have not sceen any of these mods done to a polaris, nor have I heard anyone around me doing it. I would like to hear first hand if at all possable.

 

A pipe ,clutch kit and a bigger carb will easily beat a 400ex. As for pipes if you wand a good all around performance pipe then HPD is the way to go. AAEN is great also. I went from HPD to AAEN just because AAEN suited my riding style better but both will give maximum performance. RCR is a good affordable kit but you have to pick where you want your power. Low,Mid,Top. HPD trail pipe is all 3 combined. Get the HPD pipe,agressive clutch kit and 38mm carb and not much will touch you. Or you can just go for it all and get the HPD race mod. 80+hp.

 

Ritters kit is ok but pm bubba267 and ask him about porting.He is good andd less$$$$

 

That is very true, i beat a 440ex with my john deere tractor yesterday..lol j/k

 

ditch the polaris and buy a yfz you wouldnt have any problems smoking a 400ex then

 

I wouldn't mind getting a new quad. However I like the Auto, and I also like reverse. They just need to put reverse in the Predator.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
