not meant to be a dumb post Im do honestly like the 400ex I was stating info for some people to be aware of incase their's has this problem or they were thinking of buying a new one. I have seen one's like my friend's and other 2001's that sit fine. I was just letting you people know what our dealer who is one of the biggest on the east coast told us, So take a chill DEREK HONDA

Oh by the way 14mins I really don't care who wins some silly shootout that is why they make different machine's, and the shootout I read had the 400ex only winning the MX track and to me that's not riding in real life situation's. SO BEAT IT.

raptor01blue-i was only joking around.I bought a black and white raptor last week,just waiting for it to come in. I personally get tired of hearing how great the 400ex is.I thought the raptor was worth the extra 1500. dollars and most people classify me as a tightwad.

It's true, after they get the frame put together, they put it in a big press and bend the frame. This is a new process as the 99 and 00 models did not have this additional process.
Give it up dude, I can't believe people actually fall in for that crap.

and you were forewarning the yamaha forum why? you posted it in the honda forum, if someone owns a 2001 honda 400ex they will more than likely check the honda forum also. So now they get to read your bull **** twice. give it up, let this post float to the bottom.

OK, I am a buttmunch. The fact is, the frames are not bent from the factory. Honda does have it's share of problems, as all manufacturers do. When something comes up they do a recall to have the problem addressed. Your dealer is sounds like he is telling you CRAP so he doesn't have to deal with your friend. Do you even know the difference between toe and camber? You should, I explaned it in your other post as you described your measurement procedure. I believe that you are just posting this garbage to **** people off and when you get called on it you react like a little baby calling me names. If the frame is bent, or as you called it, welded wrong at the factory, Honda would have addressed it by now. Have a nice day.
