- I fix a few more things on the newly purchased 2000 Honda 400ex. The solenoid comes in as well as the clutch cable. I install those and attempt the first start on the quad. Will it start with the cheap Ebay piston and cylinder? #Honda, #Willitstart?,#400cc,

The ticking may be an exhaust leak?
You can start it by touching the thing with a screwdriver and it will start
Charlie Shell the ticking us most likely the cheap piston and cylinder. Mine ticked like that somewhat. After those cheap parts blew up into pieces I got a cylinder works top end kit and sounds so much smoother
@@HG_-eh8wp I disagree for the only reason that I have a cheap cylinder piston and rings and I've had no problems and I've ridden on it a lot. I think the biggest deal is how much care you take assembling it. It may just be the one you got was less quality than the one I got or I got lucky either way I could be wrong.
Charlie Shell yeah no it wasn’t an issue with assembly nor breaking it in. It might’ve been different brands. Idk I just don’t recommend cheap oarts
The rattling is the lifters. You want to hear that because that means you have good valve lash. You also need to run 91octane, if you don't then you could get some predetonation. also use 10w 30 mobile 1 full synthetic, best oil you can run.
You should put those plastics on the other 400ex Especially with those wheels
Just subscribed the other day owned hondas all my life from 90 250ex 400ex now have had 450r for years. Very enjoyable to watch and knowledgeable.
Me just patiently waiting for the 400ex vs 450 drag race, joe "Welp, I bout another 400"
Come on man I'm dying here
It's happening tomorrow!
@@2vintage 🥳
I think it's normal, I have a 87 trx250x and it always makes a small tick sound. But it runs great.
good to see you learn, do wish you’d stop kicking that tripod about though the noise is mind numbing on head phones, but do appreciate it’s just you doing this.
haha yeah I need to stop kicking it haha. I will work on that
Should get sattle bags for that thing to go with the grips 😂😂😂
hahaha
I think it just needs valve adjustment... i had a 400ex and it did that and i ajusted valves and it worked perfecr
Thanks for the video man, i cant wait to watch you put this thing together bud. I'll be watching!
It says 20/50 on the cover they were running heavyweight oil to quiet the lifter tick noise.more than not the cam and lifters are worn.even if u adjust the valve lash the noise will still be there.hence the heavy weight oil.peace!
She’s a Honda don’t worry about the noise oil and gas good to go
You should try to find a 08-09 Honda Trx700xx! I have one and I have to replace the full rear axle, definitely not cheap
that clicking is the valve lash. I must be adjusted or long term it will destroy the motor. the same thing happened to me with my ttr90
Tick is just valve lash, just tighten valves to spec it will go away, but not completly hondas always have a slight tick
chilly cheeze defiantly
Why do they tick?
Daniel Vinyard I couldn’t tell you for certain, must just be the way Honda’s are built. But if you valves are lose defiantly will cause a loud ticking.
Sounds like a cam chain it speeds up with idle, and is not aggressive
@@jasonpetrich4141 i thought cam chain not valves
Don’t forget the exhaust trick with the foil paper next video😎 good buy man for the price seems to be worth it
Those noises could be from questionable cheap internal parts, We have no idea what's in there. Good job chasing down all the bugs. I say send it till it sounds expensive.
Sent it today.....
Dude when you wheelie start with putting your left foot back in the grab bar it’s much easier and more comfortable and less scary
please take the twist throttle off it’s really giving me chills
When you put a new rear tires do a burnout on the old ones
Thats hard on the clutch
@@-_--ht6yy the wear you put on the clutch doing a burn out is nothing compared to how much it gets used imo
Awesome video man
Ever Honda I’ve owned has ticked like that I’ve put 14000 hard kilometres on a rubicon it ticks likes a rod knock still starts on tap of button no issues no loss of power
It’s just the timing chain
It’s nothing to worry about
Hands down my favorite quad, here I am stuck with a vintage mini bike nobody cares for
I had a twist throttle on my Honda 250R and it was fun
Sounds pretty good,I like the plastics,I would take those safety stickers off
Sounds like the cam chain is stretched, he put the aftermarket tensioner on it to get a bit more length on it. My chain eventually broke when I did that 🙈.
I like the custom airbox lid lol. Looks like they use some filter and molded it to the top of the lid. Nice vids bro u should put those plastics on the other 400. Its alot cleaner
Oh boy this one is a it rough,it sounds so much better with that chain adjustment, another good one to the fleet
Sounds good and I like how you put things back to speck everything rattles loose eventually so you got to keep tightening things up with any machine
when you buy something and they said rebuilt motor with o hours that is a big red flag ---- walk away from it
Sounds mostly valves but check the timing chain
Keep buying those cheap things man they are worth SO much more 2000-3500 here in MN and the newest one u got right now u make that thing clean ashell cause its got the new plastics u can make a sick color matching items
400ex are known to have timing chain noise especially when there’s and aftermarket cam, and when they have a lot of miles I wouldn’t worry about it
Good job joe. Sometimes you do half ass work but good job with this 400.
That air box cover is sweet. I should get one of thoes, I just drilled holes in the top of mine.
The first part of the video, the black wire should be a negative or a ground wire. My buddy has a 2004 honda 400ex and I've been working on it for him and the black wire on their hooked up to the negative on the battery. It went to the ground on the spark plug coil. It looks like it was on there for extra ground. I guess for better spark and everything is grounded better on the coil connections. That's my guess..
Dude take out those cheap parts. I bought a cheap piston and cylinder for my yfz and blew up after abt 4-5 hours on it. Cylinder cracked inside AND out. Piston was in PIECES. Bottom end had to be taken apart and cleaned. Don’t cheap out bro. Get some quality parts man. Learn from my mistakes
Needs a valve adjustment.👍
Looking good buddy!
I love those plastics 👌
Nothing better than loosing the thumb throttle in favor of a traditional twist acceleration device for comfort and control. Yes just my own personal opinion of 40 years of dumb, er I mean thumb throttle silliness. Hope you enjoy and appreciate the usage of twisting for your acceleration needs.
Sounds great brother good job.
you should put the carbon plastics on the other 400ex
Dont think theres anything wrong with the top end, sounds like a cam chain or valve adjustment
On my honda 300 it ticks all the time
@@brycenbragg5314 my 400ex has everything new from the case up and it ticks slightly
The most common problems
William R The kx450s tick like hell too listen to em ull see
that is a testament to a Honda even after being beaten and neglected it still runs. I've noticed multiple bush fixes so I wouldn't worry about how it runs, Id just focus in the wiring. I suggest you follow an electrical route, swap out all the old wires for new ones. You found a shitty connection, nice find btw. As is runs and stops, re-doing all the wiring would be cheaper than replacing the mechanical. I've never seen an automotive air filter on a quad before, it's close to what I have in my car. My recommendation would be to dig into that before you move on to the deeper issues.
I have the same tenshonor it’s a very nice one it’s adjustable
This one sounds good when you got in the throttle!! Did you clean the carb yet ? Liking all the Honda quads!!!
Another great deal brother!!!!nice quad!!!!cam chain tensioner might b wore
Another awesome video man. Great camera angles for the valve adjustment. My 400EX is ticking and now you got me thinking about how to fix it. I think the stock cam chain tensioner is automatic and can’t be adjusted? I had a completely rusted out header pipe like that. I took the pipes off and removed all of the rust with a wire brush attachment on my drill. I painted it with silver VHT header paint and got it looking brand new.
Sounds good brother all these hondas have that sound its normal
I would be sure to check your timing chain tracks , I’ve heard they go fast , and would hate to see the valves go
When I had mine it did the same thing and never had a problem with it
The ticking noise is the timing chain idler
Got a cheap ebay piston rings and cylinder on my quad and so far so good. I've ridden it a ton. Just how you put it together I think
Checking tolerances, keeping them all in spec, and believe it or not cleanliness is super important.
@@stevenminix exactly
This is good to hear!
Same as building a car engine
Not for raptor 660s lol niche cylinders notorious for dropping the sleeve and blowing the head gasket. Cant speak for others
Ticking could be chain n valves OR could be an arching spark plug wire or exhaust leak. Been fooled a time or two..whatever it is, jus send it !!!😆👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice, you should get an new battery for the new Honda 400ex
I love quads
Ive used the cheap ebay cylinder with Namura pistons in pretty much anything thats not a 450 and its been great. Wouldn't risk it on a 450
Polaris predator 500
Just bought a 440ex for 900. 2004 with 1500 in extras and big bore kit....good luck
Or get front fenders for yours so it looks better
Did u remember to move the spider 🤣😂
You should put those plastics on the one that your keeping
These plastics are pretty cool
love the grips lol
Hahaha
Had the same issue like y just bypassed fuse box and ran it direct had no issues ever agaun
There is no negative 12v. You just had your Leeds on the opposite sides 😂
Nice vid
Now I want one 😩
hope you geter done good job
Take off the warning stickers it would look better
Needs a valve adjustment
Should swap out Plastics on the other 400 ex would look good with the new wheels
You should get a LTR 450 next they are awesome
My guys scared of bugs lol 👀 come to Australia
If I were u bro I’d get a new cam chain and check ring gap as well just to be safe and make sure it been rebuilt probably
I have a 350 warrior that made that same noise and it was just that the valves needed adjusted, i would start with that and go from there
Check the valve lash on it i know these things are kinda known for the valves making noise
Miss my 400 but the frame had some rust holes in it so I got rid of it.
Still has a lil tic it probably the piston or bearings going out?
He sold it to you while the engine was hot sounds like it needs a valve adjustment rockers or camshaft
when you do another yamaha warrior project ???
That noise is probably the 12 volts of negative 🤣🤣🤣
You should look on face book market place for a suzuki lt230 quadsport the ones with a clutch are fun
Raced my honda back in the day turned it to a 426 put a hot cam in it and that noise appeared raced it for 2 seasons...everyone said because of the hot cam hope it helps
I've owned at least 25 Honda's over my time and some are noiser than others but all of them had some
Honda rockers. 250x 300ex and 400ex all do it eventually.
Someone put an aftermarket cam chain tensioner on there, I would buy an oem one
9:36 starts and runs
Idc what mine does I ride my stuff until it blows up and then I fix it
It’s a Honda they all have that tic when you do too ends if the valves aren’t perfect, probably just needs valves adjusted correctly
Which side is the ticking louder on if its on the right its most likley a timing chain or valves if it is on top of the engine
Warning stickers need to go for sure lol
I had the same thing on my old Honda all you do is adjust the valves
The thumbnail makes the wheeler look huge
Those carbon plastics are like lipstick on a pig. I'd transfer over all good parts to the red 400 then keep that hahha
Timeing chain slap
every 8/10 of the 400s ive seen have had that rattle to it
You're gonna need a showroom soon.
Thats alot of rust i wonder if its been under water that would definatly affect the connections
Lol your checking them in the video my guy
