my neighbour brought his buddy over with a 400ex...i knew it was piped by the sound and i thought it was pretty quick for the roost it was throwing...them i come to find out its actually bored to 440, i cant race him cause of my surgery but he thinks im gonna lose...im all stock whats ur prediction?, oh btw im pretty sure he was full of it but he said he ran beside a bike @ 72mph

 

u can smoke him i would think. he is a lier. there isnt anyway he could go 72, unless he is pulling taller gearing. u got him. get better ad make sure tho. good luck

 

416 and 440's can run real dang good, he would probably take you if your 100% stock, even with just a pipe I bet.

 

maybe im wrong. i always heard that 440ex's arent that great. i know i can take a stock 400 with my blaster.

 

Wow i didnt know blasters are that fast. You need to go out and buy a pipe, airfilter, and jet and you will kill him. Roost some in his honda loyalist face!

jbomb

 

i cant take him topend but no prob in the bottom. all i have is a toomey pipe and no lid

 

i cant get a pipe, my neighbours will complain...ill kill him once i hit 3rd or 4th though right?, thx for the replies btw

 

My 400EX can go 72MPH and still pull the front end up in 5th gear. I can pull 78MPH top speed on the road next to my buddies R6. I have no problem getting away from a stock Raptor or even one that has exhaust. Once they start messing with internals it isn't really a race then. If the Raptor's weren't so restricted they would be so much better. Get a decent exhaust, air filter, jet kit, and a high compression piston and you won't have anything to worry about from any 400EX as long as it's not a decked out 465cc. 440's usually aren't that great because of heat issues. Let him ride around for a while before you race, that could help you out.

Also I am not a Honda loyalist, I hate Honda. If the Raptor was out in 1999 then I wouldn't have the EX.

Heal up and good luck.
