That quad seems like a lot of fun. Makes me want to get one. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and it’s nice to see you’ve stepped up your game when it comes to fixing them. Good job bud
@@Fox250R People dont want to spend the extra money for less reliability and (newer models) have reverse. Also all 400ex's have electric start and only the 450er has electric start. The only reason you should buy a 450 is for racing or if you really want to go fast in your backyard.
You seem pretty smart on this. What you suggest on a banshee with stock bore and aftermarket pipes and jets? I want to bring it more a live as cheap as possible. Thanks for any info have great day
I was a dirt bike guy until I was 15...when I switched to quads it was scary at first but then my dad suggested putting my knee in the seat and I learned that way and now can ride them forever. Keep up the good videos
Those are great tires but if you want to get a little cheaper go with Kenda. Those are the ones I got on my 2013 400. I got the Kenda kutter on the back and Kenda klaws in the front. And there 6ply rating
The further you sit back on the seat the easier the front end will come up. Start at a crawl then give it a bit of gas and then let the clutch go a bit faster than when you take off normally. You have to take up the front end a bit higher than you did. Like someone in the comments said "expect to fall back several times" just part of the learning process. Dont worry about falling back if you are going slow. The grab bar on the back will keep the 4 wheeler from falling on you. Once you find the balance point, keep practicing. When you get it, with some practice, you will be able to upshift, downshift, go fast, slow even wheelie up and down on small hills. Once you have some practice, you will eventually learn how to feather the clutch, apply the brakes, and throttle in combination to do more than just simple wheelies. One more tip. You need to have the exact same tire pressure in the rear tires, otherwise it will always pull towards the same side of the lower pressure tire when doing wheelies. You will eventually learn how to use your weight to make it drift to either side you want. Keep practicong. You will get it, I promise. When you get it, you will be surprised how easy they are. Good luck, and be safe.
Yup like I said a bent rim .. I had that problem on a quad I owned also and took a minute to figure it out but now it's first thing I check with any wheel wobble. Hated seeing u try everything else when I had a feeling it was as simple as a bent wheel
If you have just started wheelies then it is going to be scary getting that front end up period, just takes lot of time and eventually you will get comfortable with having that wheel up, there really isn't a trick you can do to learn wheelies it's just alot of time and looping and you will get to balance point. Then after you are comfortable with that front wheel up there you can start learning back break, to learn the back brake at first you have to just get the front end up then purposefully hit the back brake to bring it down, and do that for a little while and then when you get good at it your mind will train itself to hit the back brake at the right times during your wheelie so you dont loop.....
@@ERESMAMABICHO I never had a problem walking my four wheeler even when I weighed 250, I could walk mine clear across the field through 3 gears but the 4th gear always got me.
while you have everything out and switching tires and bearings, i would go ahead and clean rotors and change break pads just to save you from having to do it at a later time!
2vintage I disagree you are doing it right by rolling on the throttle if you dump the clutch especially on blacktop you stretch the chain put wear on the sprockets and unnecessary wear on the transmission gears just chop the throttle to pull wheelies the atv has plenty of torque to pul it up without popping the clutch
Ashton Anderton no wrong they stab the clutch the don’t drop the clutch there’s a difference and you and half the people on RUclips don’t have the skill or sense to know the difference you probably don’t know what slipping the clutch means either so don’t tell someone to pop a clutch on their quad so that they destroy their quad cause they don’t know what it will do pop the clutch on your atv or dirt bike and lmk how that turns out after doing it repeatedly it f**ks things up if you know how to wheelie you don’t even need to use the clutch just use the torque of the engine so lesson over kid
@@lukecombs5659 you are correct, you slip the clutch and rev at same time ....if you pull in clutch and tach it out , then pop the clutch ...you will loop out...plenty of YT Videos on that
Your getting better at wheelies! I personally learned a lot faster doing knee knockers on the quads...they help get more weight back to the balance point!
Oh shiz, see joe?? Bent rim 😂. I got you brother. In one of my videos while snow riding you can see my wheel going crazy a little 😂. For wheeling, I’d recommend doing stand up wheelies. Some would say “pop the clutch” or “jump on it” or something but what I’d do dude, is one foot on the rear brake and one back on the grab bar. I wouldn’t do clutch dumping because you’ll ruin your clutch basket and discs and trust me.. I know what that cost lol. My yfz has plenty of problems. If you still can’t do a wheelie, use both feet on the back and push but caution, you will pop up too easily so make sure to do this on a bad patch of grass where you don’t hurt yourself or the quad. Or just let’r rip on the road 😂. Anyways man, you’re welcome and keep up these videos my man!
If u wanna get better at wheelies slow down till the quads about to stall so that it stays a little lower in rpms it makes it a lot easier to ride it out
400ex is a wheelie machine. When ya find the balance its super fun. My mom kicked me out of the house for full speed wheelies past the house. It was sweet when I could shift thru the wheelie
when your doing your wheelies i notice you pull back then instantly lean forward try to stay at a 90 degree angle with your body even try to lean back a little when your in your wheelie also try staying being stoped and pop the clutch.Love the vids keep up the work 🤟🏽
Nice that you are taking some advice from your viewers to help diagnose issues. I still say keep this one and sell the Venom as this one suites you better! Keep working on the wheelies your getting better!👍👍👍
Stand on grab bar when you wheelie it really helped me to find the balance point because you are going slow and if you go back to far it goes on the bar and you are standing so it’s not scary
to learn to wheelie i definitely recommend putting your left foot in the grab bar and use your body weight to get the quad back it should not take too much throttle if you lean back enough
Put your right knee on the seat, and your right foot on the grab bar at the back of the seat. It makes it easier to get the front wheels up because youre a bit further back, and if you go past the balance point your right leg is there to push the bike down again. Once you get comfortable doing that, you can start sitting on the seat
Learn 1st gear wheelies first. You can learn balance by standing on your wheelie bar. Keep your right foot on the peg so you can tap the rear break when needed. You learn that you’ll learn how to wheelie sitting down. Don’t worry about trying to switch gears during a wheelie. Learn 1st gear wheelies using the clutch and break. Get that down first
Thank you for another amazing video and entertaining video personally I don’t like Honda but I like Yamaha and I loved all your banshee and warrior videos
My buddy has a trx 300ex. We have a track in my back yard and i did a couple laps because he was complaining of a tire wobble. I rode it and it wasnt too bad but it was there. He took it inside and found out that the main swingarm bearing was bad. That might be the problem
Try popping it up in 1st and change into 2nd and get used to that keep the quad up then keep your foot on the back brake try this till you feel comfortable then use 2nd gear to pop it up and change into 3rd an keep getting used to that
I’m 5,1 I’m 11 and have been riding since four wheelers and dirt bike since i was 2. Wanting a two stroke bike because I never owned one. What size should I get?
you should get dunlop tire i have some on a 18 year old honda foreman and there sliced really bad and only a little bit of dry rot but there still hold air
Put your left foot in the grab bar and keep your right foot on the back brake. Then practice keeping it on the balance point by using the throttle and back brake to control it. If you want some really cheap tire that work well for the price put cheng shin tires on it.
Focus on clutch ups and once u hit 12 oclock or balance point hit the back break and keep repeating till u feel comfy to do longer wheelies, back breat will be your best friend for wheelies 👌🏼
If you pop the clutch in 2nd , power it up to balance point keep the rpms low-mid range and hover the back brake you will wheelie much better. Also take air out of the rear left tire to balance it from pulling right
CST pulse are decent, about the same as a GBC XC Master and the Maxxis Razr's but way cheaper on price then the Maxxis, 6 ply which is strong, bit heavier then the 4 ply but will outlast a 4 ply, awesome videos buddy keep it up :)
You need to get higher in your wheelies and use that rear brake your wheelies are all power and then you start go to fast then you don’t have any more gear that why you need to go back and use that rear brake to coast and slow down
First gear try kneeing on the seat with one foot on the grab bar pop it up and almost drag the other foot to help balance that’s how I started wheelies on my 400ex nice and slow then it got to the point could wheelie the banshee down the street 3-4 gear np lol
Honda still sells the OEM Ohtsus for the front and rear, not going to find a better tire than those. 70ish for the front 90ish for the rear. Rims are still available too, however is 235$ for 1 front rim.
Just go to eBay and type in Honda 400ex tires and it will bring up cheaper sets of tire for it and the 2/4 deal to set the toe you want to put a cinder block beside the front and one by the rear tire and find a straight 2/4 and lay it on the blocks cause the rear is a solid axle so it’s straight and aligned and use a tape measure to adjust the alignment by using the tape measure on the front and back side for the front tire it should be as close to straight and and equal as possible say from the 2/4 to the tire align it off the rear tires if you understand what I’m saying I hope I made sense it’s hard to explain I’ve done it a hundred times with perfect results every time
Somebody hit a square curb, tree, stone or something hard when the tire was low on air. Kind of thought one or both rims had some damage. That same impact probably is what also bent the tie rod. Hope the arms are straight.

Wow, with all the work put into the quad.... please don't let her go! Nice job with the wobble👊
If you are going to keep it, i would suggest going with a stage 1 or 2 hot cam and an fcr carb, changes the power and response completely
a cam and jetting will wake up a motor! I build a 250es engine a while back, stage 2 cam, 350x carb and whole new exhaust, it rips!
Or spend that money buying a TRX450 instead

@Josh Frank your talking big bore kit and stuff like that?
Get the cst Ambush tires. They are cheap and look great. Also they perform well
The 400ex guys like the GBC XC Masters, good quality, good price
I can confirm this. They are awesome on my 2013 TRX400X
What I use
I have a ltz 400 performance model aka ltz 400r

Sun F makes a great budget tire for these sport quads. 6ply side walls make for a sturdy tire as well. Great content!
For tires i would go with maxxis razr 2 they are a little on the pricey side but are worth it

When you get done riding spray a little brake cleaner on your brake disc and whip it off so the dirt doesn't eat your brake pads
The sound that you were hearing when you had the wheel up in the air is your brakes it’s called brake drag
How it's fixed?
Your getting really good at wheelies!
Joe , we have been saying the whole time you need new tires. Good job on troubleshooting
Itp holeshots are a really good tire ive had them on all my quads so far and love them
while you have everything out and switching tires and bearings, i would go ahead and clean rotors and change break pads just to save you from having to do it at a later time!
Maxxis razr Mx are a tires are good
i love my razrs. will not use anything else
Just pop the clutch for wheelies going real slow and you’ll find your balance point
and you might fall back a few times but it won’t hurt
Thanks for the tip!

Glad you found the main problem. That wheel is bent really bad! Hope you can find a good used one thats not to much money. Great video!
I had the same tires and your front ones are on the wring side
when you change the tires if you have trouble setting the bead wrap a crank strap around the tire and crank it down.

Cool vids Joe , the title said solved but I’m thinking the problem was only diagnosed. Let’s check out the next vid when it’s solved.
The sound u hear when u spin those front wheels is coming from the brake pads sliding against the disc ... not the wheels bearings lol 😂
great vid man as always
You should try wheelies in second gear at a slow speed
They used to sell wheely bars for them hooks up to swingarm
They have wheelie bars that attatch to the rear sub frame
The itp hole shot mxr6 tires wood look sick all the way around. I got them on my 2002 twin banshee.
I just bought itp hole shots there really nice you would
Like them

Try stand up wheelies so you get the front end up higher and can find it easier to wheelie and can see in front of you

Easy to tell that your wheelies are getting better!!!👍
I would look for new stock tires. I love the feel of a good oem half worn tire not to grippy and can still slide around great.
motosport.com has great wheels for great prices. I would recommend a kenda. I that a Kenda millvil 2 on the birt bike and they are SUPER grippy.
use a bottle jack to bend the rims back...ive done that before on cars rims...idk if its small enough to fit those small rims
If you’re looking for a six ply tire look into it set of

man i would keep this quad for a bit. It pretty bad ass
bear claw tires treated my 400ex well for years
When you do wheelies you have to keep your foot on the rear brake so if it starts to go over you hit the brake.
You need to get higher in your wheelies and use that rear brake your wheelies are all power and then you start go to fast then you don’t have any more gear that why you need to go back and use that rear brake to coast and slow down
You want some decent cheap tires, get the SunF tires from eBay

Ayyyyy I saw that wheelie nice man getting better
Definitely go with maxxas razor mx all the way around they look great and function even better

When you wheelie try sitting back farther and use the clutch
i feel you. but i dont think he is trying to ruin that precious grass
If you Learn to weelie you won't have to worry about the wheel wobble lol
Haha true!
If you get tires all around it’ll help out your wheelie grip and get you farther back
Try putting your foot in the grab bar starting out
If you want to do better wheelies try in 3rd gear and you could also put you lag on the seat for more down pressure
Somebody hit a square curb, tree, stone or something hard when the tire was low on air. Kind of thought one or both rims had some damage. That same impact probably is what also bent the tie rod. Hope the arms are straight.
