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

Catman

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!!

Catman

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

sean94z

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"

TILLER

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

Catman

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.

Catman

Thanks I got that same advice from someone else

Does anyone knows about a z400?
