I think they would just take 300 off the bill. Not give him cash.

correct.

the cost of parts are only 350 bucks and thats with sending the cyclinder to be honed for a 416.

so as long as my dad doesnt mind helping me ,which im sure he wont, me and him are going to do it.

I truly hope this exp doesn't turn you away from from Honda. I truly think you got a lemon.

well in a way it does and in another way it doesnt.

i wont buy another new honda again. but theres a chance ill buy a used trx450r later on since im boring the 400ex.

im done with honda's stealerships. im happy with their products just the rider suport and customer service left alot to be desired for.

That is just your dealership. Mine has bent over backwards for me. They are a ma and pop shop so to speak. Family owned. They even have a pic of me racing hanging in their store.

well maybe its just the south cause every honda dealer here are complete as******. with the exception of one. but they are 3 hours away.

the suzuki and yamaha dealers are awesome down here. my buddy completly broke his swingarm and brake housing on his rear end of his z400 and they took care of it free of charge. and this was the owner mistake, not dealers like in my situation.

thats why i said ill never buy honda unless its used or from ritchie powersports(the only good honda dealer down here). only new quad i will buy is ltr450 or yfz450r.

i wouldnt recommend either YFZR or LTR.

they are both too wide for your riding i think.

dont you ride trails?

yea i actually race XC with a guy that has +3's on his z400 and he gets around just fine. i have +2's on the 400 right now and it is awesome. i will never like a stock width bike the way i like my 400 with +2's.

besides the ltr and yfz450r is 50 inches wide my 400ex is 48.5inches wide so it wont be a huge difference.

heres a picha of it to show the width

      Have you ever been on the trail and your tire valve goes bad. No way to break down the wheel and replace it. A lot of you probably know about this already i had heard of it but never used one. Just punch out the old one insert and tighten down the nut
       

       

       

       
      So far it has worked very well.

      I'm trying to help a buddy out with his bike (he's not really on the internet or familiar with these forums) and I'll admit that I am not super familiar with the transmission and clutches in these bikes. I owned a Brute a few years ago, but never had an issue like this that I had to troubleshoot.
      So basically my buddy bought a group lot of 650's to build one good bike out of. He got it all put together and has it running but when he pushes on the throttle the clutch doesn't engage till the RPM's are quite high and even when its moving it doesn't really speed up, almost seems like its in "limp mode". He's tried 2 different transmissions so I don't think that's the problem. 
      Is there any adjustment on the clutch engagement? Anything else I can tell him to look at? Let me know if you need anymore information if you think you can help.

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.
