Does starting a 400ex without the clutch in hurt it even if its in neutral

From what I hear it's usually the wrist pins that give out after about 10 hours. Everything else seems halfway decent with the Chinesium kits.

Take into consideration that when dealing with jetting some people may have drilled out the original jets. I have come across this many times . Check hole size with gage pins is the key . Good knowledge here . Use It !

Learn how to "power shift" and that means - after you launch off the start, just blip the clutch to shift never letting off the throttle, keep it pinned the whole time. If you are in a drag with someone he's going to eat your lunch if you are shifting regular. That's assuming he knows to power shift. Also, don't look back to see if you are roosting, it makes you look like a Goon Rider! Goon rider = Squid who thinks he's fast. Enjoy the content but I have to throw in my 2c once in a while. hopefully it helps you.

@wesboos9174 Год назад

Not bad for a 70$ rebuild. That's how a lot of experienced riders ride them on a regular basis. I don't see it as abuse but as using the machines full potential.

@Bansheenate77 Год назад

Joe, been watching since the beginning. You give me inspiration. Love the videos. Been building bikes for a long time. One thing I’ve learned about jetting is always up the main jet until it bogs before even riding the bike. Then go down one jet size at a time. Here in Cali we ride in Glamis. jetting is key. You can think your spot on with dirt tires in the street. Then put paddles on and try climbing Oldsmobile hill and you will most likely bog up the hill because your still too rich. Putting a load on the motor will truly get you spot on. Only two ways is a dyno or a steep sand dune with paddle tires. Look up Duncan Racing jetting tutorial. It’s the best one out there I have found and it teaches you how to dial in your pilot jet by adjusting your air screw to see if you’re lean or rich on your idle circuit. Keep the Videos coming!

@richardb8492 Год назад

I gotta ask? As someone that is old, well of mature age. My back can’t handle working on bikes (engine and pedal) on the ground. Why don’t you have a stand to bring the bikes to a more comfortable working range for your back? If for no other reason but to make it look a lot more professional it will be good for your body to not have to bend down to work on all these bikes specially when removing a engine from the frame or just changing oil. As I say while your young DILLIGAF but trust me when the knees say Nope! you’ll wish you had spent a couple hundred bucks for a stand all those years ago and it makes you look less like a backyard mechanic and more like someone that knows a little about what they are doing, even if you don’t 🤣

@aaronhansen8037 Год назад

You could tell there at the end it was losing power. Do a compression check. That would be interesting. My opinion is that it may not have blown up, but a few hours of riding isn’t worth the cheap parts. You can tell it’s on its way out. At the beginning of the video when doing donuts I could see it was puffing some oil. Great video btw!

@tayloratwell4205 Год назад

I think you would be misleading some of your viewers saying those cheap Chinese parts are fine... should probably reiterate and say spend 70 bucks on a top end, expect to get 70 dollars worth of ride time, realistically might be < 25hrs. When someone utilizes OEM factory parts and does a quality rebuild you probably could expect much more ie: > 200 hrs or much more for a 400EX which is very tame. Should of put an hour meter on it, and let your friend continually ride it 🤣

My pops bought an 02 off the dealership floor in 02, put a ton of money into mostly handling but its got a Yoshi rs3 and custom header, and it never had any other parts changed until 2018 when I took it and put a 426 kit 11:1 with a hot cam. I'd red line it nonstop and do long wheelies and it's still chugging along. They made an unkillable machine to the "average" rider. An 02 400ex from my view with well over 1000 hours on it's second piston only supports that.
