OK,

my brother and now my brother inlaw and I all have a TRX250X

we picked up, not having alot of money to sink in them

what are some suggesttions?

like ive heard that 400ex front A arms will work on them but do you have to lengthen your tie rods?

some cheap mods? what carb to possibly upgrade to? ETC.

We have always built up cheaply since noi real budgets but i love riding so i want to keep up

better and have a better ride also

hell i out a 400EX rear shock on my old blaster it was amazing how much better it rode.

anyways anything would be great thanks.

The 400ex arms may fit, the only way to make sure is just measure both and see. The 400ex a-arms measure about 6 inches from the inner sides top and bottom, and about 9 1/8 in to the outer sides on top and 9 1/2 in on the bottom. If they do fit, they will be wider, so it would be best to use the tie rods of the 400 too. If they fit, the shocks will be too soft for the wider arms so you will want to do something about that. I would think that the 400ex shocks would be a bit long, but they may work. I would not bother with a carb upgrade before some other motor mods are done. First thing to do is find yourself a good exhuast, if you need to keep it super cheap, check ebay for some decent used pipes. A high flow intake, and modified airbox lid are cheap and easy. Just remember, with each upgrade, a jetting change is likely going to be needed.

      I’ve got a 2000 400ex with a dg slip on muffler, it came with he stock muffler on it but the previous owner had the dg in a box so I put it on. I’ve been riding it for the past month and a half and every time I let off it backfires, and the other day the backfires got way louder, 2x louder! I’m concerned that I may hurt my motor? Why does is backfire??? Thanks

      My name says it all. I have a '03 Honda Sporttrax 400EX with a new aftermarket carb on it that seems to be having issues. I can start it but it idles really rough and when I give it throttle it just kills the engine. I have tried adjusting the idle screw but to no avail. I am in the San Diego Ca area. 
      Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I would also like to get an owners manual for the thing too but can't seem to find a downloadable one.

      So I’ve got a 2000 Honda 400ex absolutely love it!! I’ve had it for about a month, I ride with bruteforce 750’s, outlander 850’s and 1000 sxs’s and I was thinking of getting a trx450r carb and a full hmf exhaust. And probably doing the air box mod too, how much power would this give my 400? Just a little different or a big difference? Cuz if it’s not much of a different I’ll just stick with my dg slip on..... thanks!

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.
