I am planning a trip to Little Sahara, Oklahoma and would like to know if my jetting is correct so I don't blow it up. I think right now its sitting at a 50 pilot, 200 main, and 2nd clip from the bottom. It will prob be around 65-80 degrees there, but is only 20 here....suggestions?

Also, I'd like any other suggestions you might have about this quad...or the 450 in general. I know to change my oil/filter regularly,etc. I tried to start it today, and it was prob 20 degrees out and I couldn't get it to start. Got tired of kick starting it. Is there anything wrong with pull starting them?

He mentioned something about not giving it gas when starting or it would break the rear portion of the engine cases...so that scared me. lol

Also, I think its geared 13/38 for mx....will that work pretty well in sand with this engine build and using 21x12-8 (8 paddle) extreme haulers? If not, throw out suggested gearing too!

Anything you can help with would be great! I need all I can get!!!

Thanks guys!
Brad

anyone? Any help with my specific questions, or to help me learn more about the 450 in general would be greatly appreciated.

I know on my predator there are certain flaws or things to watch out for....or stuff you need to maintain or keep an eye on.
