You are the reason I bought an 03 400ex. I got it from a guy in a city who only rode it on the street so the frame and struts were damn near perfect. Thank you.

“Beer never broke my heart” lmao love luke combs

On the tapping sounds, you gotta remember the 400ex is Hondas RFVC design, each valve has 2 rocker arms, a main rocker and as sub rocker, There are more contact points of cleareance which increases the sound from the valve train.

I just bought a 2005 Honda 400EX bc of you brother!!! I rode it all day yesterday and it flys!!! Paid $3200 because it’s mint condition. Had the original tires hardly even worn down

[@yessicalazos868]

Well I'm screwed

[@joesmith8482]

Thank you. I just bought a 400 ex. Very clean and very well maintained but the engine does make odd sounds sometimes my brother said that is how they sound. I kinda doubted him but hearing you say the same thing has put me at ease. Thank you I subscribed.

[@toast250r6]

Hell yeah brother loved the video great information just got myself a 02 400ex with a 250r motor in it haha.

[@GamerNRetro]

Very informative video. Thank you. I’m hoping to maybe buy one.

Another thing to check for when buying a used 400ex is swing arm bushing and bolt this is a common wear spot and if there worn bad enough you will have to replace the swing arm also I had to replace the swing arm on mine and did one for a friend another friend got lucky and only had to replace the bolt and bushing. The bolt will wear so bad that to have to cut it where the swing arm mounts to the motor. Other than that and the rear axle carrier bearing the 400ex is an awesome quad super reliable and affordable love the low end torque they climb like a tractor

[@joshbeck289]

I have a 14 400x with all the goodies she’s a beast best looking 400x I’ve seen is in my garage!!

[@klaykirby324]

What would cause damper spring side of clutch basket to rub a groove line into engine and on top of oil pump? Thanks in advance

[@nathanjones6910]

I got my 400 ex for free put a starter and battery in it started right up and runs and drives like a dream

[@snivman105_5]

Love the luke combs in the backround

[@charrheel3659]

Have you ever seen a 400ex that takes 2.5 quarts for a oil change? I know the book says like 1.97 but mine registers low when I put in 2 quarts. When I add .5 more it shows perfect on the dipstick. Have you seen something like this before? And do you have an email where we can directly ask you questions?

[@brandonfowler4240]

I agree with you 100%, if it’s less than 1500 and it looks like it’s running good and not making any weird noises I’d buy it. Parts for the 400ex are cheap. I built a 440 with a stage two hot cam in all new weisco internal components except for transmission gears for less than $1200

[@bananadude2374]

Thanks for making this video

[@porterbennett8786]

Same I have been looking for one for a while

[@tommycoyle4475]

Hey man appreciate video just got a 2008 trx400 seems to run great just sketched out has a aftermarket carb on it like an Amazon one because the old one was gunked from sitting. Seems to have a hard time on cold starts and warming up. Any pointers? You think I’ll be alright with this none OEM carb

[@davidgwilliam2459]

I’ve got a mint 2014 400x bone stock, I put a lexx exhaust on it and it is so reliable it is unreal, got it for $2300, can sit for a month and start right up I had to put a new battery in it cause the previous owner bought it new and his kid didn’t ride it so it just sat in a garage for like 5 years until I bought it, never thought I’d get so lucky with buying a 400x

Needed to watch this video after I found my grandpas 05 in a tractor trailer
