Most of you agree there are THOUSANDS of some type of "jetting questions" on the Org....

This is usually about as close as your gonna get depending on other issues. If you find the Fuel screw at less than ONE turn out from lightly seated position (go with next size SMALLER slow jet), and if out more than THREE turns, go with next size LARGER main jet. Then start this procedure over until the fuel jet is adjusted correctly, and it falls between 1 and 3 turns out from seated. this adjustment is usually performed in the garage.

i dont mean to ??? you on this but i sure am confused when you say if i am out more than 3 turns on the fuel screw i need to bump up my main jet.. as i understand what you wrote the main jet is for wide open throttle and the fuel screw is for basically closed throttle or so..

any way
07er
175 main
145 pilot/slow jet
boyesen qs3 turned 1 turn out
fuel screw 3 1/4 out
sparks exhaust
k&n box lid filter
it ran great accept it sounded like a machine gun going down hill closed throtttle. the jetting is what sparks sends in there jet kit. the needle is in the middle.
thanks ralph

2007 450er. Has FMF Mega bomb titanium head pipe with FMF Q4 muffler, uni filter stock box and approx 20.... 3/4" holes drilled in the lid. Have stock lid I can put on. Green wire mod, MSR fuel mixture screw, and FMF jet kit. Running between 1600-2000 elevation. I just put the FMF stage 2 jet kit in (per directions) and the quad now bogs under heavy acceleration between idle and 3000 rpms or so. I am now seeing how hated the FMF jet kit is on this site so please help me out. I will order whatever jets are recommend and try them instead. I am no professional with carbs as I usually run FI machines. Any help or advise appreciated otherwise I will have rossier engineering tune it as they are 50 miles from home.

Also if the quad is idleing and the throttle is mashed in neutral it bogs. So not just under load.

Only buy OEM Keihin jets man... all other brands are inconsistent and not worth saving a few dollars in the long run.

Take the air box lid off, and leave it off. This will make jetting easier and more predictable. If you really want to keep it on, I suggest cutting it in half.

Install a #162 genuine Keihin brand Main Jet.

Install a #42 genuine Keihin brand Pilot Jet. (this is the stock size pilot jet, so if you've never changed it you're good to go) Set the fuel screw at 1 3/4 turns out from all the way in, LIGHTLY seated.

Purchase this needle. It is the correct one for your application. Use the middle clip position. You can also get it from you local Honda dealer. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/honda/HP-16231-MEN-671.html

This should get you very close, if not spot on for jetting. Check and make sure the carburetor is clean while you have it apart. Make sure you have fresh, premium fuel. I would also go ahead and install a new NGK IFR8H-11 Spark Plug while you're at it.

Good luck.

Okay I have a 2004 trx 450r and it cuts out about half throttle but it is fine once I give it more fuel what do you think my problem is?

does a 2015 need to be jetted with a full DASA system?

Thank you sir, this just helped me out. I see I'm probably pretty rich with my new setup at a 172 main, gonna go down to the 162 to see if that helps.

Performance Upgrade Wanted

05 450r completely stock with stock air filter and air box.

Looking to eliminate the bog I get from the bottom of a hard acceleration and a performance upgrade. I'm willing to re-jet or do an air box mod, all the way up to buying a new exhaust system. I just need a good starting point. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Stock needle
It pops on deceleration
Is it lean ?
What should i increase size in
Increase main jet ? Or pilot
Thanks in advance

Any main reason why the air box lid on? For the 06 up I at least usually cut them to be like an hrc lid and will help give it more power. If the box was off I would start with a 45 pilot, might need to go back to the 42, 2 turns out on the af acrew, 162 main, hrc or ncqv needle 3rd clip and 55 leak jet. I am around 500 ft usually and that is a decent starting point for a full exhaust and open box setup.

450RR...your mailbox is full.

Ok folks...I am stumped. 2005 TRX450R


I'm wondering if you can help me out. I'm having a heck of a time getting this bike to run right.

A little background on me: have had a series of Honda quads, did desert racing, then got into buggies. Relocated to Reno, and saw this little gem. Has almost zero ride time.

Anyways, i took off stock suspension, bars, ec. And put Upgrades on it. Bike ran extremely well in stock configuration. Opened up rear half of airbox lid, like HRC kit, Pro Design foam filter, and put in a FMF/Dynajet jet kit (170 D main, pilot screw 2 turns out, Dyna needle 3rd clip). Stock exhaust, fresh 91 octane gas. Bike was an absolute bitch to start. After chasing various things, I went back to stock 118 Keihin main and needle, and drilled out the air stop; bike starts right up (kicker).

Well, when I put the bike into gear, it bogs right off the idle and stalls. Since it felt like the clutch was slipping, I redrained transmission, pulled the clutch and inspected. No wear on basket, and all plates look great. Put it all back together, and still have same problem. When the pilot screw is at 1 - 1 1/2 turns, bike starts easy, opening up to to 2 - 2 1/2 turns, bike becomes hard to start.

I'm about to replace the lid and carb, can't believe this is plaguing me. My old 05 TRX450R was so reliable, and many more mods; always started easy.

I'm at 4000 ft, air temps are currently 70-82, bike has rear half of lid cut out (aka HRC), stock exhaust, pro-design foam air filter kit. Motion Pro twist throttle, all cable free play for throttle and clutch are within specs. All electrical is good.

Appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks,

Curt

I have the same exhaust and i am at 3300ft and it pops and sputters as well. Im assuming i need to move up in jet size. All stock just uni filter and fmf powerbomb full exhaust. Should i over jet because of exhaust and filter or put in the exact jets for my altatude?

 

[eddyx]

i got a 2006 450er and he's getting really hot the header is really hot enough so where the pipe is connecting the fender melt a bit ...
the bike is stock no mods and stock pipe
ive put engine ice in the radiator and some heat wrap around the header but still is getting really hot ...
could it be that i should change the stock jetting to go a bit bigger ? i think its 122 main jet as its the stock one ?
coul it be the carb needs to be cleaned or ??
im not a mechanic expert im reading a lot on this forum and trying to figure out what is going on
it doesnt do pops from the exhaust
i live in quebec/canada (st-joseph du lac) and from what i can found sea level is 262.47 feet but not sure about it
and i go around to do some trail riding too

should i go with a bigger main jet or maybe head gasket is blown or ???

thanks

Hey bud. I'd like to pick your brain a little regarding my 2005 trx 450r. I live in Illinois. It has a stage 2 hot cam high compression wiseco piston. Yoshi exhaust. It glows at idle in straight daylight. And when I pulled it apart the top of my piston was pretty scorched. The main jet is 190 and the pilot 50. Any pointers would be great. Thank you.
