Having a vehicle means being ready to change its parts and accessories when the time comes, including your Honda 400EX. But before you do this, there are a couple of things you should know and consider to get the best out of your ATV. Here are the things you should know about the Honda 400EX’s parts and accessories.
OEM vs Aftermarket Parts
Before buying parts for your Honda 400EX, you must know you have two options: OEM or aftermarket. OEM, or Original Equipment Manufacturer, are parts made by the original manufacturer, in this case, Honda. While aftermarket parts are an alternative, you could choose to save money because they are cheaper because they are made by other manufacturers and not by Honda itself.
It is always recommended to go for OEM parts since these parts offer the highest level of quality and consistency. They will also have a warranty since Honda makes them, so you don’t have to worry about the quality. The only con of using OEM parts is that they are expensive, but considering the benefits you would get, the prices would be worth it.

Where to Buy Them?
Now that you have decided whether to choose OEM or aftermarket parts, you must know where to buy them. If you choose OEM parts, it is only logical to go to the official Honda store to get them. If you prefer aftermarket parts, there are several stores that specialize in selling aftermarket parts for ATVs. You could look at their website or social media to find what you want. You can also learn about the store’s reputation by looking at the comments or reviews left by previous customers.
When you choose OEM parts, no guesswork is needed. But when you choose aftermarket parts, you need to do extra work, such as making sure that the parts you get fit your ATV by model or year.
Installation Guides
Once you have the needed parts, it’s time to replace the old ones with the new ones. It is highly recommended that you use the services of professional mechanics to do this. But if you have to do it alone, make sure that you read the manual carefully and follow the instructions perfectly.
