i put a higher compression piston in my 400ex and now when i drive it roughly every 30 seconds or so it dies down like it is out of gas then it picks back up again after about 5 seconds of that, i was wondering if the piston would require a bigger jet or could it be because i dident get it back in time just right?

ps. it has a pipe on it but im not sure if its full or slip on

well the thing about it is that it ran fine before i put the piston in it

U may have an airbox intake restriction as well or u might have accidently restricted the fuel line when u put it bak 2gether??

      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.

      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.
