Welcome aboard! Finally were getting more sport quads! LoL

All oem honda 400ex carbs will work. The newer ones have a slightly bigger bore. But that doesnt effect anything but maybe alittle power and a small jetting tweak. Clutch options. I really liked my ebc dirtracer clutch. Its a cork base. Barnett makes a good clutch. Make sure you are getting the 20% stiffer springs. Doesnt matter brand on that. It will make it lock up better and slip less. My new build im doing a hinson clutch and bullet proof basket. I tend to stay away from the kevlar and carbon fiber clutches. They build up in the oil to what i have seen. Also the basket if its not grooved to bad it can be filed smooth to make clutch action alot smoother. If its hanging up it can cause the clutch to slip and burn up quicker. Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forums!

Those 6.0 ls motors sure are bullet proof. We thought about going that direction with my brothers trans am. Decided just to rebuild the 5.7 ls1 instead. Looking back i think he regrets it. But his first pass was a 12.2 in the quarter N/A. He just got a ls6 intake and our goal next year is get it to run an 11.9 without spray. But we built it to handle plenty of spray just incase he gets stupid. Like i know he will....lol

Welcome aboard chad. What do you ride?

Welcome aboard!

Welcome home goober! Glad to see so many familiar faces!

Welcome to the "new site" lol

Welcome brandon. 300ex is a solid quad. Motors run for ever and have gobbs of torque.

Well the stages are set. And i 100% agree with the way it hashed out. Buckeyes dropped the ball so hard in that first half they deserved to drop out of 1st. Gives them the chance to beat the without a doubt 2 best teams in college football though. LSU is gunna handle the Sooners and i honestly think any of the other teams in the top 4 and a few from the top 10 could stomp them.

I dont have any finger nails left. But they pulled it out in the second half. OSU Big10 Champions!

Yeah i cant tell if OSU looks different or if Wisconsin just gassed themselves in the first half.

24 Ohio st, Wisconsin 21 going into the 4th quarter. Lsu is gunna leap frog them for number 1. And they should. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Welcome aboard.

This is a very interesting theory. I think back to my crashes and yes they did happen very early in the day of riding. The exception is any crash on a mx track. Those can happen at anytime with no warning though. Broke my shoulder blade (among other things) 30 minutes into the day of riding a few years back. All other serious injury crashes i have been witness too have been 30 minutes or sooner aswell in the woods.

Sorry to hear about your buddy! This right here is natural selection at its finest though. Lets squat at the base of a jump while people are riding on the track. What did you think was gunna happen? Life has no pause button.

Its the 440cc bore that has cooling issues. I am doing a 440cc in a different way. Its gunna be a 416 bore but with +4mil stroke. So its still a 440cc but without the thinning of the cylinder and cooling fins.

National, Timken and Nachi are 3 other very high quality bearings. KBC isnt total garbage either. Bearings are something i have had the chance to test alot. We have ran almost all brands in frontload washers through the years when doing rebuilds.

Nah she will be plenty reliable. Unless your talking about the speed im building it at. And in that case yeah im gunna spend the winter on it. Clean everything up so the motor looks new. Go over every single detail 100 times and make sure i dont have to do it again lol. No rush. And honestly i still dont have the crank back from crankworks yet anyway so im in a holding pattern anyway.

Wait a second i just lit a rocket........ rockets explode! LoL. Couldnt resist

Gearing is pretty simple. Each tooth you go down in the front is like 3 in the rear. Its all about mechanical advantage. The lower in front more torque and less top speed. Bigger means less torque and more top speed. The rear sprocket is opposite. Bigger in rear more torque. Smaller less torque. Thats why i went one smaller in rear to counteract the one down in the front. I had to drop my gearing for the tight corners and short straights at our local fair race.

I run a built fcr39mx full race carb already. By built i mean it has an aftermarket bowl, accelerator pump, and quite a bit of custom add-ons i did myself. This carb is a flat slide and is what everyone runs on the full blown 460cc kits(440 stroker). She will have no lacking of air thats for sure! LoL. I hope with my +1mm valves, port and polish, and cam lift it will try to throw me off the back. I am already planning on gearing up. Where i have it geared now is way low. 13/38. Stock is 14/39. I will be going to a 14/38 right off the bat. With intentions of maybe going 15/38 if i need to.
