got my new 450r carb today.....

[yokeracer]

hey guys, got my new carb today. Can't wait till I put it on. But I have to get the throttle cable.

.....What I wanted to know was; Is there anyway to hook up the TPS, and what is the other electrical plug for? I've been doin some research- I found out that I can take the jets out of my stock carb and put them in the 450r carb. I'm running dynojet's kit.

thanx:D

I got my tail light working too. Went to the auto parts store, found a stoplight assembly, modded my tail light lens, and hooked up the brakelight kit, and she's all workin fine.

nice, i'm lookin into gettin one in the near future. give us a report on what modifications you need to do and how she performs.

Well guys, I caught up with a guy that sold me a throttle cable today and a yamaha R1 tail light (from YFZ 450r). Got eveything for $60 bucks:D

I took off the old one, exchanged jets. Threw new carb on bike. The only thing that will be a problem, is the old air filter boot. It's a tight fit. So I removed the entire air box so that I can bring the tubbing closer to the carb. I had to also cut a piece of plastic off the petticote so that the choke lever won't hit it. I also have to get the correct fuel tubbing. But other than that, the bike runs great:D ...the extra power is really noticable. I suggest everyone with a 400ex do this mod, you'll love it.

Bought the carb on E-bay for $123.00, just got the throttle cable for $10, the YFZ tail light $60.
......good times running my monster.....priceless:D

[QuadJunkies]

enjoy. I know I love mine .

u can put a 450r carb on a stock bike?

[yokeracer]

Yep, Mine is stock

[mj010206]

i just got one for my 440ex. you mentioned you had to get a cable. does this mean my stock throttle cable wont work on my 45r carb?

[yokeracer]

No it wont. You'll have to get the cable for the 450r carb. I bought my cable from a guy for $10. I think the dealer has them for around $20.

whats better about having a 450r carb?

[yokeracer]

the carb is bigger.......more air in + more gas in, = more power out:D

think of a car. If you pull of a 2bbl, and exchanged it for a 4bbl, you will increase power, and fuel consumption:rolleyes:

[quadman 05400ex]

what if you have a slip on and a k&n with outer wear how would i jet the 450r carb

[yokeracer]

jet it like you would the stock carb. that's what I'm doing. That's what I've read everyone else has done.

[mj010206]

besides the throttle cable, air box tubing, and choke lever were there any other problems?

[yokeracer]

Nope, just jet it like the old one was, and you should be A. O. K.
