brandonracing01 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 my wife has a 2001 honda 400ex it has a 15 tooth sprocket in front. It lugs really bad in the dunes but on the dirt it really fast. Should i go down to a 14 tooth or a 13, if anyone has a 400ex and has some advice that would be great. sorry its not a question about a 2 stroke! Quote
sheefreak Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 I don't have a 400ex but sand is a power robber. Everything feels slower in sand(granted you didn't spin wildly on whatever terrain you are caomparing it to). A 14 will help, but a 400ex is about like a Warrior, DOG!!!!! Quote
[email protected] Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 1 adjustment at a time , 1 tooth up front makes a big difference , goto the 14 Quote

ssanddemon Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 My shee sucked a reed last year on the second rip up Dumont. All I had was the spare emergency bike, a 400EX belonging to my buddy's girlfriend. Lemme tell ya, it was LAME! Multiple tries to barely make it up the tall dunes even with a running start; my bike had been pulling gears all the way. My $.02 : go straight to a 13 tooth sprocket and gear down from there. Quote
