How To Size A Winch

September 16, 2014 by Ryan Leave a Comment

I've been looking for a winch to pull a full sized truck on to a trailer and came across this excellent formula for figuring out what size is needed.  Thanks to Pacific Marine and Industrial for posting these up.  I am re-posting here to make sure they aren't lost. The 2012 4x4 Ram weighed in at 5700lbs so using the following formula; 5700(.372+.05) = 2405 That is assuming … [Read more...]

Moose Racing Thumb Throttle

Moose Thumb Throttles ATV, quad

I installed Moose Racing thumb throttles on both the 400ex and 450R.  The Motion Pro twist throttles worked fine but it was just too hard to control in turns. After some play riding in Glamis and testing in the Arizona desert, the Moose thumb throttle is working well and is fairly easy to push.  The longer lever takes some getting used to since it places the idle position a … [Read more...]

450R Plastic Buckle

I recently installed a Motion Pro Twist Throttle Kit on my 2005 Honda 400EX.  It works so well, I am now installing the similar conversion on my 2004 450R.

Honda 400EX Upper Shock Mount

I ordered a set of used 450R shocks from a seller on Ebay.  They came off a 2008 TRX450R.  They didn't look too abused, so I went ahead and installed them on my 400EX without rebuilding them. I read about swapping 450R shocks on a 400EX in several articles on the Internet.  They all said you have to grind the shocks, but none really described how to do it.  After holding the … [Read more...]

TRX450R Front Shocks Ordered

March 20, 2012 by Ryan Leave a Comment

I bought a set of used front shocks from a 2007 450R off Ebay.  The last race finished off my stock 400s.  From what I've read, some of these bolt right on and others need to be ground down a little bit but either way they are a big upgrade from the originals. Depending on the condition they are in, I'll either try them out for one race or rebuild them right away. … [Read more...]
