It actually looks like it may have been changed... The wrong way. If you see when he wipes out the filter housing, some of the oil on the paper towel is a golden color, most of it is greyish black color. I think they changed it but left the old filter in which stained the majority of the oil from mixing with old oil.
I love my 400ex... such fun machines. The shocks look like 250r OEM shocks, which ironically are the ones that came on my, but I picked up the 450 shocks.
In my opinion, the 400EX was the best trail quad Honda ever made. I have a 2007. They need to bring it back. New rear tiers would make it easier to wheelie. Some hand guards would probably be a good idea too. Great Quad. Thanks for sharing.
Somebody scouting your property? Did you see any wheel tracks? Probably deer hunters in a truck knocked down that tree. You should post it no hunnting no trespassing. You can actually lease it for hunting for a five hundred dollars a season per head of hunters. The deer are atracted to soybeans like a magnet. The deer will be like trophy bucks because of the soybean field it makes them grow huge. The poachers will be swarming your property you need a fence and a gate now. So you can charge big money to hunt. I would try to get 700 dollars maybe for hunting rights for one season.
When you guys have kids they will be blessed to have you as a father! You’ll definitely be a great dad that’s fur sure, I could only imagine the toys they would get
its none of my bussiness but been watching along time i always wonder if people that do youtube have a real job or they just do youtube i thought you went to school to be a engineer did ya graduate yet n are ya working as a engineer
If you’re going to ride in the woods dump those stupid nerf bars ! I never did like those hazards. Besides you don’t need the bars if you know how to ride. Even if you race it. I used to race hare scrambles. You learn quick that those nerfs will get you hurt.
Dude a 416 is weak . My buddy had one an it was weak the gears are so short . I liked my 440 Trx . With exhaust head . Ur header is stock . That thing needs work
I had one with a 440 kit and stage 2 hot cam. Hmf exhaust. It was so fun. Roasted clutches though. You could sit as far forward as you could and nail it and it would wheelie through all the gears
TTR125's pilot jet was undersized from the factory. I drilled the one I bought for my son when he was a kid. I think it was 2 sizes up, but it's been 15 years. Made all the difference in the world.
If you seriously think that a Honda Ex 416 has too much power for you Then don't ever try riding any year of the HONDA CR-500's ! you learn throttle control real quick😱 or you get fucked up trying🤣 Extreme Violence packed in 235lbs
I have a 1994 DR 350 with the magneto there I’m looking to get rid of, it is all original, all OEM parts, I just don’t have time to do the carburetor, would you be interested
It could be the rjngs are worn a little bit which would turn the oil black quickly...if it does not smoke at start up then rjngs are decent.. I would suspect...UNI filter 2 to 1...
That’s about the right amount of board kit you would want because I’ve seen people putting them 440 board kits in there and then things they overheat quick and they usually blow up pretty quick because them sleeves get very thin
I have a yfz450 06’ in high gear it will not hold the power it will skip/slip seems internal or it could it be the clutch basket/pressure plate I don’t know
Nice bike but I hear a rattle sounds like a wrist pin it's at mid throttle I'm in the process of a yellow 05 TRX rebuild myself traded some wheels and tires for it got the Darkside Terminator graphics the nose piece I'm drilled holes for the eyes putting red LEDs in them good looking undercarriage on your quad also by the way
I have never rode one but hopefully I will one day. Maybe I lack quad experience and quad chains are supposed to be tighter? Because from what I saw that chain seemed way to tight.
I got to say thanks for the thoroughness of this video. I’m in the market for a 400ex and knew I would have to look over some things. This video is extremely helpful for what to do and precisely how to do it.
Have you ever had a problem with any of your 400 having a problem going in neutral it seems that I have to be holding it when shifting it might go in to neutral but never stays . Also it has the neutral light which works but doesn’t seem to be in neutral. I was stumped on it you have had a lot of 400 any info I’ll appreciate it thanks.
Maybe the bear has returned pushing trees over and stuff? or a biker gang.......( still makes me chuckle) looks like good fun now the trails are taking shape, get chuck over there and rip his cr about.
You’ll be surprised when you find your first bees nest back in the bushes. I found a few getting rid of the fallen trees on the trails so be aware of the critters !
I almost got a 400ex once but the dude was super sketchy and i think it was stolen, so i went to buy a blaster and ive built it and i still ride it today, love the videos and im still wondering how you can trade and buy snd sell stuff cause im trying but cant get the hang of it
I hate those add on stickers people put on ,if it ain't factory the other is garbage, just for now buy you a small shipping container and put it behind your house and put your other bikes in it and let that storage go and save money
Look in your States because in my state we have a free atv weekend. which brings another ideal do 1 or 2 riding videos and see what the views look like because all we see is your work on them we really don't see you have a whole lotta fun with them
Joe, I strongly recommend 1. Ditching that K&N dirt sucker and throwing a UNI foam filter on it. 2. I recommend stage 1,2 hotcam or webb. 3. New back tires. The more power u make the more of a need for traction u have. And I would definitely suggest porting
@@Antiquefarmequipment i think as they are high flowing filters, they probably are better suited for street riding and not dirt riding. More flow means less filtration usually. Anyway I'm not an expert, this is just my assumption,
There has been a test done that I saw using a particle meter & flow tester. k&n are very free flowing almost the same as no filter at all while they still catch a lot of the debris. Some filters were worse, most were better at filtering, but the bigger more important debris didn't make it through the k&n. The k&n flowed the best out of all filters tested. The k&n was also tested without an outerwear pre filter.
Bro you need to get a magic eraser wet and spray some degreaser on the seat and it should come out brand new, idk how you stay on those seats all lubed up in wd-40
Awesome! You look at home on the 400ex…I have a Stage 2 HotCam if your interested? It will really wake up that 416. I have a 99 & ended up going with a Stage 1. Also…open up that air box…2” hole saw works perfect. Nice progress on moving, organizing & still makin vids 👍🏻
ATV’s are street legal in my state and was just looking a 400ex with a 416 kit installed for $2800. Looks to be in real good shape and well taken care of. Not sure it will be enough power to roam around. I might just keep looking for a Raptor in the winter when prices hopefully pull back some.
A 10 min test ride could turn into a 3 hour one. That's how fun that thing looks
I drove that quad! I helped put the motor in it too. Is a fast machine. And I can confirm that motor was indeed rebuilt.
Why do people lie about just changing the oil if you can clearly see how black it is lol. Nice bike though!
…”just changed the oil”….”3yrs ago”…lol
Who’s to say he didn’t back in 2016 lol

Ikr.... fresh maybe a year ago lol
Didn't adjust the chain? 🤦♂️
He will , only if it needs adjusted.
Actually that chain looks way too tight..

That's a wicked awesome ATV. Also, I'm really loving the new garage
Man you have a awesome place to ride now dude congrats again on the big life upgrades bro 👍
"TOO MUCH POWER"
That seems like your speaking English but I can't understand a word of it.
Well overpriced it’s just an xr 400 whacked into a quad and they definitely ain’t too powerful 🤣 trx 450 maybe but not them heavy old tubs
Time to get chuck back out for another shoot out on the new property 🤟🏻🔥🤟🏻 great trade Joe
@2vintage Hey Joe what’s up with these random posers lol wasn’t aware you where doing give aways lol
Another awesome video by my friend
Bro I just passed up a 90cc Honda three wheeler for 330 bucks on Massarts
its none of my bussiness but been watching along time i always wonder if people that do youtube have a real job or they just do youtube i thought you went to school to be a engineer did ya graduate yet n are ya working as a engineer
Very cool! Going to watch at lunch! What happend to your other 400ex with the turbo? Did u sell it?
Remove some ugly paint and stickers then maybe it will look sweet
Haha I literally had this saved on my Facebook market place. Hilarious to see that you got it! Clean quad for sure!
The 400ex was the wheelie king when it came out. I could stay in the rear wheels for what seemed like ever. One of my favorite 4 wheelers.
If you’re going to ride in the woods dump those stupid nerf bars ! I never did like those hazards. Besides you don’t need the bars if you know how to ride. Even if you race it. I used to race hare scrambles. You learn quick that those nerfs will get you hurt.
We put a 416, stage 2 cam, and 2 teeth down in the front on my wife's ex. It ain't the fastest but it will climb a tree
3:45 the chain seems to have a lot of frozen links in it and is way to tight
Came here to say that haha
Joe sounds like a proper beast,gonna b powerful!Good swap!👌👍
Just finished watching the KTM video and u just posted a new vid, nice
that chain is far to tight to much pressure on the front sprocket .
The best case saver I can recommend is DRW, it looks like a big chunk of plastic, but it protects like a champ
At least someone knows!!
Yes the best there is! Nobody compares.
@@bradyfarms9250 glann innovations would be the only one that compares but Drw has a better design for sure
Everything has “too much power” for you
Dude a 416 is weak . My buddy had one an it was weak the gears are so short . I liked my 440 Trx . With exhaust head . Ur header is stock . That thing needs work
What your saying literally makes no sense. The gears are so short? You don’t have a clue 🤡
Yooo my brother fixed one to a tee the top notch I think it was 416 or 440 I don’t remember but right outta the box a new 450r stock would eat it up 😜
there isnt a thing as too much power you muppet
I had one with a 440 kit and stage 2 hot cam. Hmf exhaust. It was so fun. Roasted clutches though. You could sit as far forward as you could and nail it and it would wheelie through all the gears
yo im 17 mins late
What happened to the 450 KTM? Will you make a video on riding it?
yes waiting for parts to come!
i have a 400ex as well, has a Full HMF exhaust, they are such fun quads, great video! so nice you got a lot of land, to take them and rip
Those aluminum boxes below the fenders is a good idea because it funnels more air to the engine
i have a ttr 125 and it wont idle unless ive been riding it for about half an hour is there anything i can do?
TTR125's pilot jet was undersized from the factory. I drilled the one I bought for my son when he was a kid. I think it was 2 sizes up, but it's been 15 years. Made all the difference in the world.
Nice trade always wanted one but can't find a good one
must feel good sayingg going to my land,watched you from the start,DONE WELL ,WORK HARD,GOOD LUCK ON YOUR NEW ADVENTURE .............#2VINTAGE
Great video as always epic fail on the wheelie lol but doughnuts made up for it good content again keep it up!!
If you seriously think that a Honda Ex 416 has too much power for you
Then don't ever try riding any year of the HONDA CR-500's !
you learn throttle control real quick😱 or you get fucked up trying🤣

Okay, after seeing the downed tree's I am fully expecting some Bigfoot content.
That's sweet. Sounds amazing. I hate youtube. I have to resub every week.
Should’ve kept your mint one. Thing was fresh
Basically an XR 400 engine shoved into a quad. Super reliable and will run forever if you take care of it.
The plumber metal strap below the front shocks was red neck and dangerous.
Standing up to do wheelies is easier, nice vid
I have a 1994 DR 350 with the magneto there I’m looking to get rid of, it is all original, all OEM parts, I just don’t have time to do the carburetor, would you be interested
Good 400
It could be the rjngs are worn a little bit which would turn the oil black quickly...if it does not smoke at start up then rjngs are decent.. I would suspect...UNI filter 2 to 1...
You didnt loosen the chain before the ride?That could turn out pretty badly if it rips the ax from the engine case
That’s about the right amount of board kit you would want because I’ve seen people putting them 440 board kits in there and then things they overheat quick and they usually blow up pretty quick because them sleeves get very thin

Thats how i cut my front fenders on my 2003 400ex i think it looks wayyy better cut like that And had same exhaust nice pipe
Have you ever had a problem with any of your 400 having a problem going in neutral it seems that I have to be holding it when shifting it might go in to neutral but never stays . Also it has the neutral light which works but doesn’t seem to be in neutral. I was stumped on it you have had a lot of 400 any info I’ll appreciate it thanks.
Better loosen off the drive chain slack. Give it at least an inch or more up and down movement in the middle.
Maybe the bear has returned pushing trees over and stuff? or a biker gang.......( still makes me chuckle)
looks like good fun now the trails are taking shape, get chuck over there and rip his cr about.
I like your vids. And fully support your channel. But please Jesus Christ do not pop another wheelie till you practice them some more😂
Do yourself a favor, take those shocks off and put some TRX450R ones on it. They bolt right on
Man 400ex for the win dude. I have a 406 and love it man, so much fun!!!!!!
You got the better end of that trade deal. Sweet quad. Very impressed minus front shock engineering. Great vid.
You’ll be surprised when you find your first bees nest back in the bushes. I found a few getting rid of the fallen trees on the trails so be aware of the critters !
If its actually a 416 then put a stage 2 hot cam in it ..it will liven it way up..watch Mike sabo he did it and it was nuts after
Too much power he says lol sorry but no such thing....what ever happened to the turbo 400ex you were doing?
I have a 2000 honda 400ex I'm second owner still looks an runs like brand new has dg slip on an has been rejetted very quick unit
If it is actually a big bore with exhaust and k&n you gotta run it with the air box lid off. Carb would have to be jetted, no air box lid.......
Finally another sport quad! Love the videos man keep it up
I almost got a 400ex once but the dude was super sketchy and i think it was stolen, so i went to buy a blaster and ive built it and i still ride it today, love the videos and im still wondering how you can trade and buy snd sell stuff cause im trying but cant get the hang of it
Nice …question, where are you located….wanted some work done on my 05 400ex
I hate those add on stickers people put on ,if it ain't factory the other is garbage, just for now buy you a small shipping container and put it behind your house and put your other bikes in it and let that storage go and save money
Joe are you sure the correct way to check oil level is without screwing in the dip stick to check.?? Mmmmmmmmm 🧐
"lowering bracket." Ha. That angle is 14g at best.
Its got to be a great feeling to ride on your own land. Congratulations again my brother. Enjoy!!!

She’s definitely a keeper beast of a quad me personally would put some money into it and have it as a nice piece
Wow that front shock setup was something else , whoever did that really has manure for brains
It worked for 3 months. Took it over jumps
You would have so much more fun of you had some real trails to ride on! Nice looking 400ex tho!

K&n are some of the best air filters

@@gabrielenitti3243 They are soaked with OIL no dirt will not get stopped buy the sticky oil. You wash them and reoil they are nice. the best kind.

Seller said he "just did an oil change". What he failed to mention was that he put used oil back in lol
If you can't handle a tiny 400 then what are you doing buying one? Smdh
It was shinier than chrome after you took off the stickers. Btw im quite Jealous
Where do you find all your quads?
Your moms
How much did you sell your 200x honda for
Hey man, you might have bigfoots on your property. Maybe?
Where can I find that exact exhaust at, can’t find it anywhere and it sounds soooo good!
I got 2 bike that need a little love and I'll trade them and cash for one of your builds that I could race
What a steal I wanted one of these before I got my 2023 rmz450

Why put a hole in airbox ? just drive around without a lid. once theres a hole its always there even driving in mud or water puddles

@@27Zangle that’s pretty cool. Wish OH would allow that. Ppl do in rural areas but better not try it within city limits
I’d say JUST ENOUGH POWER! 😂👍🏼❤️
Exactly bud loosen the chain then check the bearings.
New rear tires maybe some kenda havocs ? But great quad
What are those aluminum guards by the cront shocks
I can confirm it will throw up dirt like a blaster
