This may be common knolledge to most of ya , but on sport bikes it's recomended to run a little extra oil in a bike being stunted. Is this also true for quads
How long till it pukes ?

thank's for your support

 

I run 2 quarts, I think you are supposed to put 1.9 so its not much extra...dunno if it helps Im just lazy and its easier to pour 2 quarts in, haha

Edit: this is for a 400ex

 

Thanks alot man
Seems either noone knows or I'm on everyones ignore list

 

ignore list... you just made mine


















j/j you're alright...

 

wheneva i run extra oil in my ex it tends to bog down alot specially in wheelies just my opinion though could be my quad cuz of the mods in it


race cam
440kit
um air box
gnc 440 doug eichner carb
kandn filta
sunstar sprokets
race chain
holeshot mxr4 tires

more **** cant think............

 

Thanks all info helps

 

I don't run any extra in my warrior and have had no problems yet

and i don't use my quad for anythign else. so when its runnin, its on the rear wheels


i'v even done 4th gear wheelies at a high RPM for a mile or so, and no problems

 

Run half a quart more than recomended in the manual. More oil = faster heat transfer and a lower overall engine temperature. Don't overdo it though cause you will blow out oil seals.

 

2 qts .. what year is your EX cus im pretty sure its over 3 for a full change and filter ..

i run stocl amount and it runs fine .. 5th gear highways for exits!!

 

01 just shy of two quarts usualy at oil change.........I'll just put 2 in
you guys are the ones who do this so your opinion is what I'm looking for
Thanks again

 

hazen you did end up blowing the seals cause i had to replace them when i got it and mark barley even rode it i bought it like 3 weeks after he traded w/u

 

Its 2 quarts, well technically its like 1.8 or 1.9 with a filter. Mine is an 05 but it doesn't matter what year, they havent changed the engine since it came out in 99. Also half a quart over is too much.

 

im gonna check my manul at lunch

 

like oil will really give you the upper hand............try something called.........................."practice"

 

has nothing to do with being a better stunter.. he was asking for the safety of his quad engine


yer starting to get under my skin

 

Here practice on THESE !!!!!



THESE NUUTZ

 

you're a dumbass

 

I dont think you would need to run extra oil in the 400ex. I am pretty sure its dry sump. Overfilling is for problems related to design flaws in wet sump systems.

 

Thanks I got that same advice from someone else

 

Does anyone knows about a z400?
