The fuel cells in our racecars all had it and it is in the airplanes I work on... I would think it would benefit flat track guys the most as it really does work at keeping the fuel from sloshing around. It also helps keep fuel spread evenly throughout the tank so you don't starve the petcock in...

Glamis... who cares if she has fun... she can't break up with you!

There are 2 things I would want to know... parts availability & is it counterbalanced?

Don't do wings, rhinestones, or swords please!!! Leave the fruity stuff to Affliction & Ed Hardy lol

Blaster Banshee 450R 400EX/CR500 (parting out) CRF50F nothing is even close to stock anymore either

12 Valve FTW!!!

Once you tear into the engine, they don't run the same... they run BETTER (if done right) most of the issues with the EX lie in the head gasket... and that really only comes into play with a 426 or 440 bbk... yes they sell aftermarket head studs, but they don't really help. a safe...

11:1 is the compression ratio of the piston... that is about the limit to be able to run on pump gas. 4 strokes don't really get ported like a 2 stroke as far as dune, rec, trail, drag... If you decide to get one, let me know and I can hook you up with a good deal on porting with the guy...

stick to 11:1 compression so you are safe on pump gas, timing key (maybe), a good pipe (I'm not sure which ones are really good, but stay away from FMF stuff on 4 strokes), ditch the airbox lid & get an FCR carb. Some good porting will definitely wake it up, and I have a friend that ported...

what do you plan to use it for?... for the cost of the machine & available upgrades... might as well just skip it and get a 450R. (The ticking timebomb stigma is completely false). my 450R is flirting with 60hp, and absolutely no reliability issues. 400EX's are great trail machines and...

I have 2 CT silencers that I have no use for... and they would be CHEAP... I don't have 300 posts to use the classifieds (silly rule), but I have great feedback on other sites.

Hotcams is a brand name... cams rotate and open & close the intake and exhaust valves. There are different lifts, ramp rates, base circle diameters, overlap, and duration specs... all kinds of cams out there for different applications, so you need to do your research before purchasing any.

yes you can, but there are much better options out there than a 38pj for both of those machines.

I don't know the price right now as this will be his first Blaster stuff, but a typical set of arms are $425 & a swingarm is $350. They may be more since it will be a totally custom setup, and I may be able to get a bit of a break since I just made a $1300 order from him on Friday. I'll talk...

your stock 400EX shocks in GREAT condition are worth about $20 - $40... I have a pair that I can't get $10 for. 450R front shocks are a great upgrade on the EX and can be found for $125 - $200 shipped. If you are willing to wait a while, I am going to be getting with Tim @ Stellar to do all...
