Message: [QUOTE="lawman, post: 169852, member: 16436"] '01 400 exc, bought used. had to replace bad radiator cap due to overheating, that's it. bike has probably several hundred miles on it. for some of you other guys: your fork seals will last alot longer (like almost forever) if you put booties on them. i have a set i got from holeshot on my '00 200, i have yet to lose a seal after 1 & 3/4 years of hard riding/racing. they are cheap, too. the excessive wear on chains & sprox may be caused by running the chain too tight. try this: level out the swingarm, either by removing the shock or by compressing the shock with your bodyweight or a tiedown or something; then adjust the chain that way. you'll be surprised at how loose it is, but it works.
