I changed the handlbars, frame, subframe, took off the graphics, changed the rims, hubs, swingarm, shift lever, made the engine head black, and timing cover yellow. What do you think?

its also not legal where it's ridden and personally, it sounds much better with the k&n and no air box lid.

we dont really feel like paying fines or aiding the loss of riding spots. thanks though!

yea i agree. man up

Posted by: BlasterEaten250

Wow guys, seriously, i live in a 30 acre neighborhood with 40 houses

Sure, maybe where you live you can take off your whole muffler and nobody would care, but that's not true by me. If manning up is being the abnoxious kid that lives down the street that rides in his yard everyday with a loud quad, that is very, very stupid.

ur right sry......... i live on a farm out in the boonies in wisconsin!

i really wasnt offended by any of your comments since i've seen and heard much worse from people my own age. i guess its just a difference of surroundings, we have houses close by and you dont. so next time somebody says that, chill. go on about your ways and i'll go on about mine, unless you're from that farm in oconomowoc that screwed me over with this 400...

Posted by: 250exkid

huh you meANing it to me? about your 400 huh explain

Posted by: m.h.s.c.#527

im not being rude but if its light outside and its ur property u should be able to have as loud a pie as u want and i live in a subdivision and have an acre in y backyard that is a track and a highway patrol that lives next to me and dont say a word

Posted by: 250exkid

well they can report for noise disruption, i get in trouble for fireworks but the only way they no is if the do a noise complaint so idk you should be fine with a 4wheeler so yea make it as loude as possible i think! idk pluse i would try it they cant give you a fine for the first time well they can but most likly a warning " a slap on the hand"

When I was younger I used to pull The spark arrestor out of all my stuff and thought it was the coolest mod you could do. I then realized with age that it really sounded terrible and a lot of times you loose a little HP. I'm going to guess you guys are around 15, but I could be wrong. Wait until you into your late teens and early 20's and see what you think about the young men running around with bubble machines from Willy Wonka. When you get older you get in a lot more trouble for all those kinds of things. Just keep that in mind. We've all been though the gotta have the loudest thing possible phase, but please look at whats best for the sport as a whole. I can no longer ride around my house because of my stupidity. Now I pay the price everytime I have to drive a half hour away to ride for more than 20 seconds at a time.

Posted by: m.h.s.c.#527

yea i got an hmf now but i think its ur property u can do what u want (PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS) YEA IM 15 lol

Posted by: BlasterEaten250

Well, my county actually tried to ban atv's, dirtbikes, go-carts etc. COMPLETELY (even on private property) because of noise. I really would rather ride quiet than not ride at all.

Now back to the picture. What else do you guys think I could do?

long story short, i bought a 2000 400ex from a farm in oconomowoc about 2 years ago and it ended up basically being a time bomb. after $2200 in engine repairs its finally reliable again. we got screwed.

i have a suggestion. put some new bars on it since you can always take them off and put them on the 400 when you get it. a bracket could be made for the lights and key that attaches to the bar clamps since they have mounting brackets on them for the stock 'dash' (#10 &11). no drilling required, so it could be put back to stock easily. just a thought.

Posted by: 250exkid

dang that sucks about the 400 how long ago did you buy it i could probly find out who sold it lol inless you no who it was... but yea your right my noise phase will pass and ur right about the bubble noise i pipedd mine so i dont gotta hear it and yea im 15 and dam that was a good guess!

i like how u put the neutral/reverse lights behind the light. this is my personal oppinion -> i dont know if it wouldve fit but i would have put the key behind the light too..

but neways i hate the stock honda dashes

im thinking of either fabing a steel plate to welt to the frame rail to mount the lights and key on

Posted by: BlasterEaten250

Both ways look good. I will do something where i dont have to drill in the plastic though, because when I sell it the stock bars are going back on

Posted by: 250exkid

250ex13 how har was it to drill the holes? because it looks SICK!! but if i wont to do that i dont wont to mess it up and have 3 holes in my plastics! so is there a trick and how does it work?

if you dont want holes in your plastics make a handlebar plate like mine.. it took like an hour to make and when i sell it i can put the stock dash on with no holes in my plastics

Posted by: 250exkid

yea i was thinking that but i like the other ways looks better...... but both ways are freakin awsome!

ya i mean god he was just giving the kid a tip for better exhaust flow with out spending any money and it doesnt sound like its underwater it sounds damn good maybe u have money to go out and buy ur brand new pipe or watever but some of us just need some easy mods and honestly ur not goin to have to pay his fine that he isnt goin to get so its none of ur business

actually, hes my brother, so yes in sense it would affect me... taking your spark arrestor out will NOT give you anymore power. take yours out if youd like though. aid the fight against legal riding areas!!!

Posted by: m.h.s.c.#527

i think im speaking 4 every body when i say this this is an a and b convo so F ur way out of it

Posted by: ridered282

o really im sure it does ur not him and damnit i will take it out and yes it does give u power i asked the manager at the local honda shop he sed there is less b.p. but more flow and ur not payin the fine so shut up and quit arguing with 15yearolds and act ur age we are actin more adult about this than u

Posted by: 250exkid

pipeless i think ridered283 mean's if you take out the whole baffleing it may boost accleration by .5 or what ever but yea a spark arrester is just a screen its not gonna restrick air flow but on the other hand the whole baffleing with restrick air flow so yea is that what you meant ridered283??? the BAFFLEING??

yes, taking out the chambers may add a bit of horsepower with proper jetting. however, if thats done then there wont be many riding areas for you kiddies when you're my age.

whatever im out of this. strange how true the age and wisdom thing is. brandon, i cant wait until you get the 400 so you can start posting in the section where people care about the future of ATVing on public land.

Posted by: m.h.s.c.#527

shut up u smart *** like we dont care

Posted by: ridered282

**** u u dumb son of a ***** im just tryin to let him not somthin so screw u

Posted by: BlasterEaten250

Wow guys, this post is about a time when I was bored and decided to change the colors a little bit on my 250ex in paint, not how if you take out the spark arrester it gets louder. I already knows what happens if you take out the spark arrester, I've had this 250ex for 5 years

I am not going to take out the spark arrester. You might as well give up. You are beating a dead horse. There is no point. It's the stupid internet. Now get back on topic or I am deleting this pointless thread.

Its funny because most of the people here are older than me. Also, swearing has absolutely NO effect on the internet, it just makes you look like a cocky little kid that has no life that didn't get a hug from his mom today

Posted by: m.h.s.c.#527

LOL

Posted by: ridered282

****in **** u *** **** ill swear all i want and i was just sayin somthin i wasnt on a mission to get u to take out ur baffle

Posted by: BlasterEaten250

Sorry, I can't understand what you are saying, there are to many astericks

BTW read the rules of the sight. Does it make you happy to swear on the internet to some kid that you don't know, and never will know? I am laughing at you right now because you are making yourself look like an idiot

(just a word from the wise)

No, you will not swear all you want on this site. Next time you post something that even resembles a swear word you'll be getting the boot

LOL, I banned him before I saw that you posted here! Serves him right for saying that he will swear all he wants!

that was awesome lol. so anyway, back to the thread. im still for new handlebars with the aluminum dash for the lights and key. maybe even hipers with red rings so you can have them for the 400 when its time?? then i can have your rims since mine are so rough looking

Posted by: stew2010

haha this just shows how much it does matter if u swear here cause the moderators actually care about setting an example for the future ov atving

Posted by: sunco

hey quad family I got most of the same stuff - no boat or sleds but I got 4 kids & 3 trailers Last I looked I got 6 atv's

what he said?

Posted by: quadfamily

it's a big secret. I could tell you...............but then I would have to kill you! LOL, There are really no set guidelines that I know of, I guess just the moderators and the administrator would have to notice that you're stable and level headed, never get into little childish spats on the forums, be a helpful kind of person, and we have to need more help at the time. We never advertise that we're looking or when we're looking because that would cause people to act differently. We just talk about it in private and make suggestions as to who we would want and do kind of a vote sort of thing.

Sunco,
I didn't mention our trailers, but I've got a 4 position enclosed (old) snowmobile trailer that we keep our 3 sleds and our boating and fishing gear in, a 2 position open tilt bed snowmobile trailer, a 5 X 10 landscape trailer that holds 2 quads, and an open car trailer, and obviously a boat trailer LOL! I should probably get rid of the ATC70 too. And I really should get a snow plow for my truck!

Posted by: sunco

I gave up snow plowing soon after the kids were born so I could play in the snow differently

We do have alot of stuff. I'd love to cash alot of it in. I'm a carpenter by trade & its hard to throw away some items ,but after a couple of years you just whined up throwing it out cause your sick of looking @ it. Everything seems to have a tire!

Posted by: quadfamily

I remember a thread a few years ago titled "How many cylinders do you have" where you counted the total number of cylinders you have. For example, if your car has a v8 that would be 8, your chainsaw would be one, your quad one etc... I don't remember how many I had at the time but I have over 50 now! Some people had over 100!
