Good buy for sure,buying from a friend of a friend is the way to go this days.To many people want to take advantage of the inflated market right now to get the most out of their old clapped out quads.On top of covid there are no new sport quads on the dealer floors.The 21 Yamahas are not even here yet,the quad s delivered to the pros are probably 20 s or pre ordered..Soo the market is probably going to stay inflated longer and you just got to spend more time to get the best deal or just get lucky lol.

Best quad to have as a backup machine or just to have something reliable that can be used by friends and family when out riding.

This one deserves a total rebuild back to factory freshness. One of my all-time favorite machines.

Nothing beats a sweet deal especially a 400ex great buy

400's are one of the best 4 wheelers made. I got a crf230 and my payment was to help the guy build a shed it wasn't running but with a carb clean it was ready to roll

That's a great deal man!!! I just picked up a low hour, two owner Polaris Magnum 325 4x4 for $600 yesterday because the owner said it didn't run and didn't know what was wrong. I bought it sight unseen, got it home and realized that the push button on the start switch was corroded. Cleaned the contacts and it fired right up. Best deal I've personally gotten on a quad.

Took my 08 for a rip around the block today. I got it off Facebook market place 2 1/2 years ago for $2k. Absolutely love it!!!

Mike this reminds me so much of my 400ex that I got for Christmas when I was 11. A guy was hard up for money and asked if he wanted the complete quad for $250. Didn’t run and it had stock front a arms with a lonestar extended rear axle. It had 250r front shocks that were blown out. Complete basket case but I was so excited about my first real sport quad. Me and my dad immediately went to work and punched it to a 426 with a stage 2 cam with head mods. We slapped some full flight a arms and she was wicked. All the other kids had much smaller, slower quads and I felt like a badass lol.

The fact that the carburetor wasn't gummed up is insane my old work Polaris can't even go 2 weeks without gumming up haha! Great video man gotta say what a banger deal you got!

I have a 2002 Honda TRX400EX and it has been sitting for 12 years. Thank you for the inspiration to get it running again. So much fun to ride!

Great find! You got a great deal!Can’t wait to see more on this quad.

Needs a little valve adjustment, but sounds really good

I have been riding quads and dirt bikes since I was around 12 but your videos inspired me to start wrenching on them myself. Just did my first top end on a blaster.

Nice vid sabo! Love to see your builds and the work ur putting on your quads!

Yes!!! Can't wait to see the build om this. Honda all the way 🤙

Got my 2005 400ex for 1000 needed a top end but found out the rod was bent so I'm doing a rebuild on the whole bike and these videos have motivated me to get back into it

AWESOME DEAL. I’m 15 and bought the exact same this this summer just one year newer trying get some decent mods on it. My stem was bent also to just put it in the press 👌👌

She's deff a keeper

They’re a blast to wheelie!

Loved my 400EX. Got my ‘99 in Dec ‘98 I believe. It was a great first quad. Could ride wheelies for miles. Smooth power.

Finally!!! So glad u got 1. Cant wait for more vids

Yes dude so hyped that you got a 400ex can’t wait to see the progress on it💪🏽🔥

Just found your channel. Like what I am seeing. I stumbled on a 03 trx400ex a couple months ago, 800 bucks. Had been setting under a leanto and needed a touch of work. He talked himself down from 1000. Needed a battery, a gal of water drained from fuel tank (gas was off and water never made it in to the carb). Lights were missing and one tire don't hold air. Changed the fuel out and she fired right up. Never had a 400ex that would idol after setting for 5 min let alone for 2 years. Such a fun little toy. I do need a muffler for it. This one is a noise maker that has been modified to be even louder, and a set of handle bars but for the price...... Yea I. Good

I literally have the same qaud man 02' 400EX. I bought mine in 2003 from original owner. I still ride all the time and it's been bullet proof for me. Good buy!

really a great purchase men , i cain't wait to see what you're going to do, your quad are always nice and whit a honda have never been wrong

The 400ex is a great quad all around. Bullet proof can burn oil smoke like a crop duster and still have a ton of power lol. Owning one myself I will say they normally burn a little oil. Mine had its 1st bore 6 years ago. I added a stage 2 cam also. Still burns a slight bit of oil. Its an ex thing. Nice job bud. Keep me posted on the trip up we talked about

That’s a steal. Makes me want to go down memory lane a buy one!

I literally just bought one of these. I probably won’t miss a video of this series to find out any tips and tricks. 👍🏾👍🏾

I bought my 400ex last year for $200 in boxes. Got extra parts with it but I rebuilt the entire thing and when I take it out people always stop to talk about it or offer to buy it. Love the thing and will never sell it. Glad your going back to some old roots Mike

Great buy. I had a 400ex great reliable sport quads. Can't beat them

Awesome purchase man, it's so hard to beat the durability and reliabilty of an air cooled honda, they are absolutely bulletproof. Honestly if you just change the oil,lube the chain, and change the brake fluid it will be totally good to go and will last for years to come.

This title had to be stolen from a 2vintage video... keep up the work Sabo!

Now this is the build everyone would like to see

That whine is the crank, thats how you can tell it hasn’t been ran. You got a smokin deal

Great video! Especially the into!

Very nice buy. I actually just bought a 2006 Honda 300ex from the 2nd owner for $600 love the videos you post keep them coming.

Very entertaining guy. And I’ve learned so much from your videos. Anyways thanks for being so descriptive and fun

I had the same year but red and I really wish I would have never sold it. My cousin has a 99 all original an has never been torn down! Still running strong!

I've been waiting on this video...lol. Glad it worked out for you brother...🤘

There we go thats a nice project!

Great video! Especially the intro!

Thats awesome man!! Nice find great price too I can't find one like that for that much and great video like the intro lol

OMG IM SO HAPPY YOU GOT A 400!!!!

Just picked up my 2014 TRX400x! It’s a beast of a machine.

I just bought a 2006 Suzuki quadsport off of an aquantance of mine for a thousand bucks. I think he was just done with the quad personally. He went to change the oil and the the oil was milky. Come to find out there was a recal on the clutch cover according to him, and after getting the new parts he said it was still leaking coolant into the oil. This quad if I have to guess, had less than 100hrs on it. When I drained the oil, it looked fine and had very little to no residue in it. My parts list is less that 200 for a batt, water pump kit, jet kit and air filter with a few other little things. Hope this attempt at a flip goes well. Thanks for your channel and your videos, you have given me many ideas.

Doing it up now case it sat outside from previous owner so the Frame is rusted a little now . Everything has a fresh powdercoat now all the bearings and ext shocks and the ct racing kit they offer but other than should be ready to rock in roll forever now !! The 400 ex is right along with it with reliability and having fun !

Love the content mike👍 love this pick up but can we see a sweet exhaust system on it.

Bought a 99 400ex in brand new condition for $1,200!! Amazing quad pretty much earth proof! Love your content man 🔥🔥🔥 keep it up!! P.S keep an eye on the swing arm for cracks near the engine😬😬😬the one weak spot😂

I got me a 2007 400ex for 1500 a couple days ago. Im excited to finally get one. Its a real power house. I feel like it has some work done. Stands up very easy.

I got a 2005 one for 1500nzd converts over to about 1000usd perfect runner with new itp tires on the rear just needed a battery. Came with the famous 400ex tick as well that initially worried me but after years of torture testing it she’s still a mint runner. I still own it to this day cause they just bulletproof quads. I just keep it around for friends and family to ride who don’t own bikes.

Oooo i cant wait to see what you do. Im fixing to buy another one.. Should have never sold my 03. That bike is such a steal. Not abused besides the weathering. Og tool kit, rubber battery cover, and og unbent front bumper are the ones you want to own. Also that seat is clean.. Congrats man. I hope to find one like that. There the future 250rs. Just not as fast lol

They are a badass bike I still have one a 2002 honda 400ex red. My dad bought it brandnew when I was a kid.

Its a Honda of course it will start

I’m actually so jealous

It’s a honda they never die

I miss my 400ex big time! i had so much fun on that thing. It was my first real 4 wheeler. Figures now i saw your Polaris predator video, i reluctantly bought one from a friend for 500$ !! (im not a Polaris fan) i think mine might be in a little better shape than yours though! but what are the odds right. glad you made that video though might come in handy on mine! love the vids man keep doing your thing!

great video man, whats crazy is i got the same quad yellow 2001 400ex from a buddy for 1000, and all it needed was new brake calipers lol... jetted it air box lid vents and slip on and she almost keeps up with 450s

Dump the oil first thing sounds good its a Honda really nice score!!

Bro!! You got a steal! It's a honda,of course it will start! 900$ can't believe it, I'm in the market for one and that price was unreal, congrats

Interesting enough: I was looking around for a cheap reliable Honda , since my Suzuki Z400 and my Banshee are both having some mechanical issues 🤷🏻‍♂️ Man! I guess you convinced me in getting a 400ex just as spare horse! Those things are unbelievably reliable and FUN!!!

I bought a 400 ex in the same shape. It was sitting for 4 years. Changed the oil put a battery and started right up just like yours

Very nice looking 400ex I have an Ltz 400 absolutely love the 400s

Wow what a deal you got I had the same year not the fastest but still lots of fun for what they are 👍✌

I bought the same yellow 2002 400ex over 2 years ago and it wasn't starting so I bought a $40 Amazon carburetor for it and it runs great. I've been riding it over 2 years never changed anything on it and my son learned at 11 years old how to first ride a 400ex. Although I'm gonna be rebuilding it soon it was definitely the best $1000 ever spent.

Hey I love your videos I recently bought a non running 2000 Honda 400ex from my cousin with a big bore wiseco 440 kit for only 300 bucks and been slowly putting money into it so I can get it running

I loved mine it was a 99 with a 440 big bore

Same kinda deal with my 03 z400 got it for a 1000$ original tires and everything! Bought it from a 2nd owner that barley rode it only thing that’s been replaced was chain sprockets and tires and just did the carrier bearings but that was back in 2014 literally the best and most reliable thing I have bought off-road !!!

Did the same thing beginning of this year, guy couldn’t get it to start (400ex) picked it up for $1000 same idea mostly all stock, as most are up here in Maine anyways, but I put new gas in it and jumper cables, fired right up, and still own it to this day, I stand by these quads and always will, they never ever ever give up. Wont ever get rid of mine.

900 is a great deal for that, I just got my hands on a recon 250 that needed some work for 200 bucks. Cleaned the carb and she was ready to roll.
