Howdy all,

Gf's dad has a Vento Reptile 400 Triple Cylinder. He wants to power it up but we arnt real sure where to source parts, or what can be done with this engine. Does anyone know anything about this bike or where parts or a workshop manual could be found.

Anyone can help us?

I saw a article on them in the Dec 09 Australian ATV Action. Page 60 titled Born Three. Maybe that'll help.

thats a strange bike...1st impressions looks wise its a cross between a trx450 & a lt400/kfx400 but sounds a little like a kfx700....thats alot of "bike brand inbreeding" u have there

yeh it sounds a bit better now, bit louder. Bikes not mine i have a ltz400. It uses alot of the Raptor 700 & YFZ450 parts. Arms sprockets, etc are all interchangable
