    Gas tank foam?

    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...

    Tell me everything!!!

    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...

    Tell me everything!!!

    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...

    Tell me everything!!!

    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...

    Tell me everything!!!

    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...

    Aftermarket muffler or racing flywheel advance key

    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.

    yfz 450 hot cams?

    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.

    Cr500 carb

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

    Selling 400ex shocks?

    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...

    Selling 400ex shocks?

    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...

    bored's CRF50 build

    All the aftermarket exhausts are going to be loud on a 50... you can cut the screen out of your stock exhaust, and I don't remember if it was my 50 or my 110 that had a washer welded into the head to restrict flow. I believe it was the 110, but worth looking in the header for that. My 50 has...

    trx250r VS. 450

    used 450R & 250R's can both be had for around $2k (250R's cheaper in some areas) for a nice base for a build... the more you get with them, obviously, the more they are going to cost. What you will want to find is an 04/05 TRX450R due to the stronger transmission than the 06+ bikes. They are...

    400ex cutting out at half throttle

    what are all the settings of your carb and any mods done to the bike?... sounds like it is really lean... like it is jetted for the complete airbox and you left the lid off? more details are needed to give you a better answer.
