at least your brother knows what hes doing. Mine has to ask me how to
change his oil LOL Did he not change the filter? I could have sworn my old
2000 400ex had a filter.

KingCopenhagen says:

how did he get a different grab bar put on?? mine is part of the frame and
i was wondering if there was some sort of mod. that you could so or if it
was a different year than mine.

400exism says:

There is an oil filter it needs to be changed every other oil change.

boss805503 says:

The machine does have an oil filter its on the right side of the motor and
you’ll see 2 10mm bolts towards the front of the block

quart in it over flowed. do i hav to start it so some will drain into the
crankcase

RebelnFord says:

Aint working. Im trying to change oil as we speak and the bolt on the
bottom of the oil pan is tighter than a nuns cunt. It aint budging its
pissing me off and yes im going the right way

Nate Atkins says:

i have a 94 300ex and my rear brake pads were going metal to metal on the
rotor and i have got to replace rotor and both pads. i got a new rotor and
pad, but when i put the 2 pads on the caliper they themselves dont even
fit…let alone with a rotor in between them. they are the same size pads
as original and i compressed the piston all the way on the caliper. any
ideas? is there another release mechanism?

EdzGarage says:

EdzGarage says:

EdzGarage says:

EdzGarage says:

Thanks for watching!

xmarcin19x says:

great video………. but how come you didn’t replaced the oil filter?

twinx7475 says:

how much would the oil change and the new oil filter cost ?

ihave Turmoil says:

@edzgarage hi, i bought a new chain for my 400ex and the chain needs to be
looser, i tried loosening the hub bolts and even taking them out and that
disk wont budge i even tried a hammer and a screwdriver, any advice please?
thanks!

Drfat4 says:

Loosen those four allen head bolts at the back, take the Allen Key, stick
it sideways so it goes through a hole in the sprocket rotor, inside one of
those grooves on the ring between the sprocket and the carrier, then ram
the quad backwards so the rotor rams the allen key and pushes the ring back
until like said it is 30-40mm travel, then tighten the allen head screws up
again. Just make sure it’s not too tight or the chain could break or
stretch when you jump it. I can make a vid if you want.

Tyler Feindel says:

this video helped me out alot! thumbs up if this helped you at all!

EdzGarage says:

@ajsullyvincennes We will be making some later in the summer.

mbyr31 says:

took out there is that plate. that plate seems like its on two idk what
they are called. pistons maybe. but anyway i got the brak pads in and it
doesnt matter how far i opend the pads up to fit them over the rotor that
plate is in the way

@KingCopenhagen i just put a grab bar on my 400ex and when u buy the grab
bar they give u brackets with it and u just bracket it on to the frame.
TOTALLY NOT AN EASY TASK!! PAIN IN THE A**.

Cal Van Oss says:

So what grab bar is that and is it one part or is that dg basket on another
brab bar.

Joe Marra says:

That 10w 40 is that synthetic or normal oil?
