ill argue with any1 that a 350x will outrun a 400ex even if the ex is jetted and has a pipe the stock 350x will smoke its sorry trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro. the bike is geared to high and sucks balls. it has no speed and no power. he!! i bet the 300ex and the 250ex have more trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro then the 400ex

350Xrider:
Why is it every time someone talks about 400ex's you 350x guys have to start talking crap? 350X's are glorified dinosaurs. I have yet to have one beat me. Why don't you post a 350x/400ex debate? I could bust your balls all day on that subject. I think it would be a good one.
oldschoolin
i know trailprotrailpro probably a great rider and it takes more skill to ride a 3 wheeler opposed to a four wheeler. so what uve out run some guys that cant ride a 350x. uve got beaten unexpectedly also im sure. hell i got beat by a kx 85 on my 250ex but those bikes will straight up hall as$. 600 dollars on trailprotrailpro bike huh. what kinda pipe costs that much. jetting it doesnt cost that much either. u had to have put at least 200 dollars more into that bike somewhere bro. not callin u a lier or nuttin but there is 200 dollars missing sumwhere.

When this gets remotely intelligent I'll join in. The Raptor vs 400ex debate was done in fun because as we all know machine bashing on this site is strickly prohibited.

Okay lush, to answer your question just about any good pipe and dynojet kit will run you $600. I stopped using generic exhaust in high school. Price out a Pro Circuit, White Bro's, FMF or any high end exhaust and your already over $400. Add in my dynojet kit and front sprocket and you have about $600 easy. No missing $200. Another thing, I wasn't referring to you on the intelligence comment just so you know. Sorry about that, atleast you were working on a point.
Saying the 250ex and the 300ex have more arse than the 400ex doesn't even make sense.
Now to make or brake this debate I will concede to a stock 400EX is a slow SOB. I was almost depressed untill I did some simple add ons to it. Mine is not stock but it is very very far from worked. I will also say again I have yet to be beat by a 350X and the people who I ran with have good points in there defense and are skilled riders like myself.
Anything else? 8)

Infact there is Oldschoolin' ;-)
I rode my freinds 400ex who races today, and he happened to win both heats plus the practice with it. I've gotta say...It was like a boat on land compared to what I'm use to riding. A golfcart is bad enough, but a 4 stroke golfcart? Aint happenin with me. I will say it had good throttle response, but it handled terribly compared to what I'm use to
i dunno bout those other pipes but a white bros e series pipe is only 359.99 dollars for a 400ex. a jet kit maybe around 100.00. thats only 459.99. so that leaves about or almost 150 bucks.

Well I got the Pro Circuit T-4 and I was just pushing out numbers when I said $600. All I did in the performance department was the ehaust, K&N Dynojet kit and the front sprocket.

OK im sorry to do this to someone i consider a friend but, O.S. you talk about useing only high end stuff and not genaric crap but then you mention a DYNO JET kit rotflmfao those kits are the biggest joke and scam out there today. the only thing they do is replace the keihin jet and needle with mikuni parts to basically rejet your Carb so all your doing is sprending more money then needed (a jet only cost 5.00) just for a sticker. if you want to run mikuni crap by a mikuni carb. i could get the same results with just a jet change then your overpriced "jet kit"

First off, Dyno Jet and Mikuni are two different companies. http://www.users.qwest.net/~tcamp30/jets.htmOriginally Posted by MR ATC
The dyno-jet kits are overpriced for what you get. I know a main is like $3 but can you get the needles without the kit? The needles have alot to do with throttle response and no rejetting is complete without one. Myself, after searching the summer tring to avoid buying a duno-jet kit I had problems getting the correct jet sizes and I broke down and bought the GYT-R jet kit for $60. Still overpriced but I am very happy with this kit that was designed by yamaha and Mikuni for my bike. This kit also came with larger pilots jets let alone needles and mains. It also had instructions for a rookie carb man like myself and with it's help I jetted spot on the first time out.
A scam, maybe. necessary, yes. There is definitly more of a performance gain than just uping the main jet.
Just because someone spent a little more money for more performance I wouldn't start talkin schmack.

I'm with Karnivore on this. These kit are nice and I'm fully capable of jetting a carb the old fasioned way but What I liked about the kit is extra stuff like the needle and the shims and dead on jetting instructions. Dynojet is far from generic. You can't do what a kit can do with just a jet. Reality would be that just buying a jet and saying it's good enough would be generic. I did it for a long time and after my first Dynojet kit I'm sold. Another thing, my kit didn't have anything to do with standard Mikuni crap.
