A 4-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine powers the 2003 Honda 400EX. The bore-stroke ratio is 8570 mm (3.352.76 inches), the piston displacement is 397 cm3 (24.23 in3), and the compression ratio is 9.1:1. This power mill has a 38-mm piston valve and a Radial Four-Valve Combustion Chamber with an accelerator pump. The 38-mm carburetor controls the air-fuel combination together with oiled, urethane-foam air filtration and dry-sump lubrication.
The SporTrax engine was taken from the XR400R, therefore it seems sense that the 2003 Honda 400EX will have a top speed of 6572 mph (105116 km/h) and a horsepower of 28 RWHP (20.59 kW). The quad’s engine is fairly sturdy all around. For high-altitude riding, however, you will need to modify the carburetor above 3,000 feet or 1,000 meters.
How quickly can a 2002 Honda 400EX travel?
The 2002 Honda 400EX (also known as the TRX400EX or SporTrax) quickly established a reputation for dependability and pleasure just four years after its release. The quad, after all, comes from one of Honda’s most enduring brands in the sport-ATV market. This four-wheeler, which was pure, strong, and powerful and won the Baja 1000 championship to boot, established the standards for pure-sport quads and introduced 4-strokes into the ATV industry.
As a member of the SporTrax series, the 2002 Honda 400EX heralds the resurgence of sport riding and the dominance of 4-stroke engines in four-wheelers.

Honda stopped making the 400EX when?
The sky started to clear by 1998. Although the Consent Decree was formally repealed, all manufacturers adhered to its rules.
How much weight does a 400EX have?
The 400EX measures 72.2 x 45.3 x 43.7 inches overall (1,835 x 1,150 x 1,110 mmL x W x H). The footpegs are 353 mm (13.9 inches) high and the seat is 810 mm (31.9 inches) high. GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is estimated to be 288 Kg (635 lbs.) inclusive of a full tank and the vehicle’s maximum load capacity of 110 Kg. Dry weight is 170 Kg (375 lbs). (243 lbs.).
Which quad is the fastest?
The Yamaha Raptor 700 is probably the quickest stock quad ever produced, although the legendary Quadzilla still holds the distinction. Naturally, for good reason. Quads as we know them were initially introduced to the market by Suzuki, and the Suzuki LT500, which was later released, changed the course of history. In 1988, this model debuted on the market and was only produced for four years.
It immediately earned the moniker “Quadzilla” due to the high speed records it set at the time. The Yamaha, CFMOTO, and Polaris motorcycles I discussed today outperform the top speed of the Suzuki LT500 Quadracer, which is 80 mph. The community is okay with this ATV keeping this label because it was groundbreaking for its day.

This quad gives sport riders what they desire thanks to its good suspension, smooth handling, and decent engine. The trusty FourTrax 300EX would be a wonderful pick if speeding down trails, jumping over obstacles, and racing around corners is your idea of fun.
The Honda 400EX—does Honda still produce it?
Honda sadly stopped making the 400EX in 2009, but given how well-liked this ATV was, there are still many of them on the market. Depending on their mileage, upgrades, and general condition, used Honda 400EXs often cost between $4,000 and $6,000.
A 01 400ex has reverse, right?
Only about one-third of your friend’s (or worst rival’s) F-150’s wheelbase exists. Additionally, the displacement has decreased by more than 90%. Sounds like a car that belongs on an off-road RC track.
But let’s spend a moment discussing performance. On July 4 of last year, ATVs competing in the renowned Pikes Peak Hillclimb destroyed all two-wheelers and outpaced two-thirds of all other classes, including sedans, trucks, and open-wheel races with both 2WD and 4WD. In fact, Rod Millen, driving a modified Toyota Banshee ATV, was battling for the overall Pikes Peak record when two turbocharged Yamaha Banshee ATVs entered the race.
Toyota 4WD Imagine riding on top of a car no bigger than a riding lawnmower and screaming at the skyline at 100 mph.
Although the production quads provided by the major OEMs are a touch gentler than the Pikes Peak vehicles, they will nonetheless make any ardent off-roader happy. The majority of ATV sales are 4WDs used for farming and hunting (bet you didn’t realize that ATVs outsell both dirt bikes and street motorcycles combined), but the Sport and High-Performance ATV market is booming thanks to the yearly introduction of new and more interesting models. These are purely recreational vehicles that are made to tow butt rather than cargo.
Fun With Three Varieties
High-Performance quads, the quickest ATVs, all have manual shift, manual clutch transmissions. These computers’ users desire a lot of power and complete control over that power. The vehicle’s dual A-arms up front and ample suspension travel enable it to traverse difficult terrain and absorb dangerous jumps’ jarring landings. The machine to watch in this category is Yamaha’s brand-new 660R Raptor.
The sport ATVs are designed for riders who value good times with friends over completing the Baja 1000. The majority of these quads feature electric starters, and each one has a reverse gear. Some even have completely automatic transmissions—just press a button and rock—like the Polaris. Honda’s 250EX is the category’s intriguing newcomer.
What transpires if conditions become extremely sloppy? If the ledges are a little taller than you anticipated, what should you do? Of course, it’s time for a four-by. While many 4WD ATVs are made for exploring, others are made for pure sport and are all about tearing through and over the toughest terrain as quickly as possible.
