**problem Solver Thread**

[aroracer72]

Hi guys,
I figured that instead of all of you having to post new threads with your problems...and having to look everywere for info/help on your problems with your new 450's and any honda for that matter.....jsut post your prob/solution on this post. This will make people with jams more quicker in getting their babies back up and running good again. So jsut list your probs your having.....or your prob's youve HAD with your solutions....and in return this will make someone's day alot easier in the future or present. I personally am a motor guy....i specialize in tuning/performance. I also know alot about chassis and stuff...but know msot about motors. And other members know alot also...and i guarantee all of us will get your machine not only running....but purring like a kitten as well.

Plus use some Red thread lock on your exhaust shield bolts before they fall out on a ride.

Ok please tell me if my setup is right. I removed the spark arrestor and the airbox lid. I put in a 185 main jet is this correct? It runs fine so it seems but I want to make sure.

[mikes450r]

i run a185 with full exuast, lid off

[Thump_It]

Lock tite the kickstarter bolt, it will surely rattle loose.

[aroracer72]

i noo this was a no brainer for people like me...but bilieve it or not some people dont know to do this....lol....and also it can bring up questions like this one. Your set up is fine. I run a slip on with air box lid off and aftermarket filter with a 175 main jet and its fine....so your plenty fine.
