    Pete, I've had the 400EX now for 19 years. I bought it new in 2002. I have gone through many skid plates, nerf bars, handlebars, and throttles. I've changed out the bumpers a couple times and the rear grab bar too. I keep front and rear plastics on the garage shelf for when the final mounting point breaks and I have to replace a fender. What I have not had a problem with has been the motor. I did finally get the top end redone in about 2015, and right now it needs the carb rebuilt and a valve adjustment, but the motor is darn near indestructible if taken care of.
    Critical need parts in my opinion; Steering stabilizer, Nerf bars, full pipe and jetting, new hub and carrier bearings, and tie rod ends. After that, a real bumper and grab bar.
    I will be purchasing a new YFZ450R at the end of this year, I'm deployed currently, but will not sell the 400EX. Instead, I plan to refresh the motor with all new bearings and do a complete rebuild, back to stock! I turn 60 this year and absolutely love to ride still. I enjoy your videos and will likely make your channel my first subscription. Thank you and stay safe!

      Hey Harold, thanks for watching my video and for all the advice regarding the 400! I’ve wanted one of these for a long time so I definitely hope to do a lot of the upgrades you recommended. The idea is make it comfortable, and reliable! The YFZ is definitely an awesome machine and I think you’ll like it a lot! 😊👍

    My first sport quad. First thing first get that exhaust off. New machine completely once it can breath. I had the full Yoshimura RS-3 series. Radiator scoops or air shrouds really helps keep the motor cool. Lonestar axle for a wider stance. Houser racing swing arms. Elka shocks. Renthal fat bars and pro armor front bumper and that was my first sport quad.

    Hey Pete. A couple of great upgrades for the early 400ex’s is a a full sparks exhaust, in my opinion it’s the best sounding exhaust and it ups the horsepower and torque than any other exhaust out there. The other is a carburetor off of a 04-05 Honda TRX450R, it truly wakes the motor right up. If you do both of those, you will not regret it one bit.

I swapped out the shocks for the honda 450 shocks and that made a huge difference in handling. Also the handlebars sitting a little low (for my liking) i went ahead and installed +2 steering stem and an updated handle bar. Like you said in the video changing the jetting actually adds a little power and responsiveness.

    Let me know what kind of modifications you do to the 400 I got the same one but the 05 model 🤟

    Frame and subframe come in metal gray/silver color only...not color painted or polished.
    Good quads...I had a 2000 400ex, same color 👍🏻

    Good suspension(even 450r shocks will do) a nice full exhaust, if you’re gonna overhaul the engine even maybe a 416/426 piston and a stage 2 hot cam. And of course some cooling mods for those long rides

    Sweet 400 Pete! You were definitely ripping it thru the woods! Looking forward to what you do to it! Oh and I know exactly what you mean about it taking a long time just to get them perfect clips! Lol I appreciate that hard work! It was actually a little bitter sweet watching cuz my z400 threw a rod thru the case last week😭😭 lollol but life goes on! This actually makes me wanna fix it but idk...Anyhow, there's nothing like the sound of an exhuast note barking thru the woods! Staying tuned! 💪💯

    Looks like that sub-frame might be chrome powder coat?

    My favorite kinda trails especially the time of the year when everything turns green... Quads looks good bro and that yzf sounds like a machine chopping the woods down 😬😬😬🦾🦾🦾

    Yfz 450 front brake calipers are dual piston and bolt exactly the same on a 400ex. The 400ex is single piston on the front and going to dual is great. Trx450r rear brakes are a good upgrade but require more parts like the brake stay, rotor hub( is 3 hole mount not a 4 like the 400ex), brake rotor, and caliper. Both upgrades are game changing for a 400ex.

    Great Video! And no, the 400ex frames did not come in red ... they are all grey (1999-2002) or silver-ish (2003+). They make replica stickers (and that one looks like a replica) of all the OEM production stuff. The OEM factory model sticker has thinner font style writing on it and that one just looks WAY TOO NEW!

    • @11GalleryATV
      @11GalleryATV 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ... and the subframe was the same color as the frame on all years and NOT polished.

    • @PeteHager
