2002 400EX Project

So I guess I’m going about sharing my project build bassackwards. Everyone sharing a build project usually post pics and new info as they go along with their project. What I did was finished the project first, so now I guess I will have to show my progress in reverse order since I forgot to show the progress as I went along. So here are some pics of the completed build minus the front bumper which is still being fixed. Wait until you see the begining pics.

02 400ex

Hi guys. I know this might sound stupid but I have an 02 400ex and we think it’s burning oil. It’s not smoking righ now. But there is this black stuff coming from top end and running down the left side of the motor. Not sure whats going on. Can anyone help me?

getting another 88 trx 300 2×4 !!

Found a guy who’s son tore up the rear of an 88trx. Thinks the axel is broken. Says the rear end is not cracked or leaking oil. Wants $400 for it. Has powdercoated black rims, and metal framed mesh floorboards. The fenders have been wrapped in camo but a few spots cracking where fenders were run into trees.
If I need to replace a ring gear or a pinion how hard is it to shim the gears to achieve the correct meshing?

’07 Rincon Winch install

Hi I’m new tom this forum since I just bought a ’07 Rincon. Tractor supply has a winch on sale for I think $59.99. Is it a big job to install a winch other than an OEM winch? Am I asking for trouble and more headaches by saving a couple of $$? Sometimes OEM stuff comes with all the right mounting and wiring stuff not sure about this winch. I would appreciate any help, Thanks

300 fourtrax new project

Well after selling my other 2 300’s and regretting it ever since, I happened to stumble across a deal the other day on one. I paid $800 for the bike, with a "broken timing chain" He said the rear end was rebuilt about 2 months ago. It has a 54% gear reduction, ebc clutches, yoshimura exhaust, 2" highlifter lift stacked on top of some other shocks that max out the suspension.
It also came with 4 extra front axles, stock exhaust, extra carbs, cdi’s, a set of complete a-ars, front bumper, a set of disc brakes, 2 sets of stick stoppers, headlights, all new filters, and more that I can’t think of at the moment.
