Always a good day when Pete uploads

Amazed every time I see how clean the 400ex is 🔥

pro tip. always keep difrent sizes of all-thread in ur garage. u can grind a piece smooth and have a perfect punch to knock our ur swing arm bolt. also all-thread comes in handy all the time. combine all-thread with washers and bolts and u have a clamp I have drove in bearings with all thread washers and nuts lol

Swing arm guard isn’t protecting linkage. Stock is better option. Thanks for showing us all the trouble shoots. Most people won’t do that

The stock swing arm protection was definitely better than most machines! I’ve been running the same products on my Raptor and YFZ the last 2 seasons with no issues. It’s not very rocky in our region so I’m not too worried 😊

Makes me miss my 1999 400ex! Great quad!

GT FAM IN THE BUILDING 💫💪🏽

I broke one of the threaded inserts on my belly skid the first time mounting on my trx450r without much torque. Also the oil drain was drilled on the wrong side. Or they countersunk the wrong side of the skid. Bummer Drw!

Great video Pete. Great content on all the work...

I love whenever I see 400ex in the title awesome vid

Lovin these garage videos! Ride safe Pete.

Very good work, you are going to be a good mechanic

Don't forget to recheck your chain tension after your next ride

Before you do anything PB blast the hell out of it and then give it heat from a torch and hopefully it’s breaks loose, you can even put threads on the swingarm bolt and attach a slide hammer.

How come you didn't just go with a full ricochet off-road skid plate kit?

I had issues with the tusks shift lever. Because it's made of aluminum it stripped out. Oem shift lever is the best.

Kinda curious why you would go from heavy duty metal skid plates to whatever type of material that is. Around here in the owyhees that stuff wouldn’t last near as long as the thick metal bashing the hard rocks

@PeteHager

2 жыл бұрын

I’ve been running DRW protection on my other machines with no issues for several seasons now. I’ve seen metal skid plates bend up and bind against rotors and chains which can be a pain to deal with on the trail. As with many parts it really comes down to the consumers personal preference at the end of the day 👍😊

Do they make parts for a bombardier ds 650?

Seems like a lot more work rather then an aluminum skid and case saver. And I don’t like the design on the sprocket you are just transferring all the abuse to the carrier bearings and the chain is still exposed
