Picked up a 2000 Honda 400EX that is stock as far as the motor goes. Got lots of goodies for it and I plan on bringing it back to life and cleaning it up. It runs strong, but needs a few things, nothing major. Heading out to Majestic tomorrow and next Wednesday as well…can’t wait!! ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-12_19-00-37_773.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-12_19-00-37_773.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-12_19-00-49_69.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-12_19-00-49_69.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-12_11-00-36_223.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-12_11-00-36_223.jpg) ---

nice, not sure what plans you have but you know theres tons of support for these. Motor kit (416, 426, 440) cam, 450r carb and it will haul…Make sure you do Head studs, crf chain, keep it cool and it will be reliable (if you do motor upgrades). I would probably do suspension first. ---

Nice, when I had my Z400 back a few years ago I used to ride with a couple guys that had 400EXs. I didn’t get it since I rode circles around them but they wouldn’t trade them for anything so there must be something good. 😛 ---

Just got back from Majestic and it was friggen sick! The trails were perfect today. The quad never once gave any problems. There are a few issues that need to be handled, but that will come in time. I’ll post pictures later. Does anyone have a recommendation on free video editing software? Here are a few pictures from todays ride. I’m working on editing the footage from my helmet cam. Alot of it didn’t come out well and it is making me really want a Go Pro. Anyways Enjoy! ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/282197_1942860850403_1208937334_31664425_1855553_n.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/282197_1942860850403_1208937334_31664425_1855553_n.jpg) I think there is room for one more on there…LOL ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_11-57-04_312.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_11-57-04_312.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_13-18-17_102.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_13-18-17_102.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_13-18-27_120.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_13-18-27_120.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_13-19-16_954.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_13-19-16_954.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_11-57-13_225.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_11-57-13_225.jpg) Perect day for a ride ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/262297_1942863050458_1208937334_31664435_903509_n.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/262297_1942863050458_1208937334_31664435_903509_n.jpg) Now keep in mind, this is my first quad and I have never actually raced/jumped one… ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/279225_1942862890454_1208937334_31664433_8339091_o.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/279225_1942862890454_1208937334_31664433_8339091_o.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/273039_1942859650373_1208937334_31664418_2559675_o.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/273039_1942859650373_1208937334_31664418_2559675_o.jpg) View from the campground ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_16-57-24_468.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_16-57-24_468.jpg) One of the many stops for a water break…it was hot and dry down there ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_12-51-58_441.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2011-07-13_12-51-58_441.jpg) The Honda squad.
