Wondering what everyone's opinion is on the best carb upgrade? Jetted, 450r, an Aftermarket setup, etc.

Id say that a 450r carb, or a FCR carb would be the best upgrades with the FCR being the best.

lectron is the best. hands down. plus there is not jets to change to adjust the carb. just a metering rod.

The fcr carb works well on the 400ex but as someone has said it is a more expensive option.

2) lectron or curtis sparks 3) 450r

1.) Lectron
2.) Curtis Sparks
3.) FCR
4.) '04-'05 42mm

Curtis Sparks would be the most expensive, followed by the Lectron, FCR and 42mm.

I ran for years a Edelbrock 440 Doug Eichner series, easy to adjust jetting an gave great power gain, the only thing I didn't like is it had a heavier thumb throttle than stock...I've heard the FCR are kinda the same. I put a 04' 450R carb on my KTM hybrid, great power after jetting an it was only 75.00 off ebay an so EASY thumb throttle....just my 2 cents. Good luck.
