Shawn P dude it’s a trx 400ex

because of this guy here i tackled my first engine rebuild. hats off to you sir. you are the MVP

I've watched this several times over the years - I really appreciate the tool list right at the beginning since that's all I need now - 8, 12, 14 - got it, go. :)

As someone who bought a used 400ex I thank you because I didn't get a manual with it. I need to order one!

Nice ! Thank you very much! Already changed the oil and everything running good

Thank you so much for teaching me how to do my own maintenance!!! Your videos are great

I've learned so much from your video's. True Pro!! Thanks for the info.

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful, I learned from this video about the first drain bolt that needs to be removed. I have changed my oil before but only drained the tank. Thanks for making this a step-by-step video. Excited to see more from this channel.

Hey Phillip! Great to hear from you. Glad that we were able to help you learn to service your own ATV. You said it yourself -- "doesn't get much easier than that!" Happy riding on your new TRX and we hope to see you around! We're thinking about getting another TRX up on the lift... let us know if there are any specific repairs you'd like to see. All the best from our family to yours.

I never say thanks in a video but this was very very helpful ! THANKS ! :D

Sure does. Thanks for the comment, Dirtbike! John is a certified mechanic with many years of experience. (We'd say many, many, many years, but then you'd know how young he is.)

If my clutch was slipping would that make the oil look kinda grey and little sparkly when i changed it?

i got a 2 stroke atv for the oil can i just put till it fills up

Great video. However when i filled the tank i didn’t need to run the engine to prevent overfill on the second quart. Bike level was just fine and still runs great.

Is the starting with 1 quart on the trx700 the same procedure?

What oil filter do I use on my 2016 Honda TRX420TE?

This TRX gets so much love but I bet it hardly gets ridden

Awesome vid and edits and filming and bike and shop

Thanks for the video, you guy are great!! My question is when to I know is the right time to change the oil ? And if any time a change the oil do I also need to change the oil filter ? Thanks for you videos.

When I do that on my 2005 400ex 1.9 qt it dont even touch the dip stick do I need to add more until it reads on the dip stick ?

In following this I broke my oil tank drain off tank any suggestion , restoring a 1999 TRX 400 EX

I do exactly what you just did when I change my oil on my 2001 400EX. In after I run it and everything I barely get a reading on my dipstick. 2 quarts of oil puts the reading just a hair above low on dipstick.... What is going on here why is it reading low .do I need to use three quarts?

can i put castrol 10w50??? or its better 10w50?

Thanks for this information. Is there a way to tell how many miles the ATV has?

Does the same oil filter and oil weight apply to a 2012 400x?

I have an 07 250ex and there is a metal o ring that goes on before the oil bolt on the bottom of the quad... anyone know what that is called???

Well it hurt to war plug-ins on I have bad plug-in that goes to the CDI box

Could I use the same oil (hp4) on my 2012 Honda Recon? Great video btw, I own a TRX400x and this video was very useful. Thanks.

Hey John, thanks for the tips and your time. I just removed the plug for the oil tank and it seems that the receiver thread came out as well. Is it possible to screw it back in or will I need to buy a new tank?

@PartzillaParts

If it's stripped, there are ways to fix it if you have to, like a Helicoil rethread kit, but with something like an oil tank, it's probably just easier to replace the tank. They are relatively inexpensive.

2002 honda 400ex...let it run about 2min.. Then checked the oil level after sitting almost 5min...the oil tank was full to the top? No smell of gas. Oil was clean? Any ideas?...i drained both plugs and pulled filter.. Thinking i might add and start fresh tomarrow then look again

So you don’t fill it to the upper ?

Hey John! Everything went smoothly until I got the the crank case bolt. I completely rounded the bolt head and can’t get the bolt out. What would you recommend?

@PartzillaParts

Going to need an extractor set to get it out. Or you can take it to a shop to pull the bolt for you.

So what about a 2005 -19 TRX250TE oil level check? Should the level on the dipstick be right at the upper level mark or 3/4 way up?

@PartzillaParts

Both are acceptable.

I changed the oil on my 2003 Honda recon 250 es following all of the instructions in the manual but when I run it for more than 2 mins pressure builds up and when I unscrew the dip stick just a little bit air starts trying to escape and theres oil dripping out of the pipe I don’t know a lot about atvs so if you could help me that be great

Your float needle is probably stuck or has debris in it. Pull the float bowl and take a look.

if the quad has been sitting for a year.and I check the oil dip stick and its dry.is it accurate..also it won't start.so do I need to start it to check it?

@PartzillaParts

After sitting for that long AND the dipstick is dry, I would drain and refill the oil to the proper level before you attempt to start it.

Don't get carried away :)

Partzilla, I have a 2004 400ex that I just did a complete rebuild on. About a month ago I rounded the head on the engine drain bolt and wasn’t able to remove it. I have recently gotten the bolt out and ordered a new one. The new bolt I purchase didn’t come with a crush washer, but it has a o ring around the end. Is the crush washer necessary? Or would the o ring work just fine? Any feedback is nice and I would really appreciate it.

@jackmehoff6688

It's better to check the level and stop when full. If you overfill, you can cause running issues.

Hello Jarrett. I most cases a ticking noise at idle indicates that you my need a valve adjustment. Here is how to do it! kzread.info/dash/bejne/c3ej0NyQpKueds4.html

A valve adjustment or your timing chain and if it’s your timing chain you best get it fixed soon or it could jump and you’ll send your piston into the valves which will toast your engine
