I have a 01 400ex with Big Gun Exhaust. I was wondering if anyone knew the carb settings for this setup? I have good top end but the bottom end is just not there. I rode my friends 99 400ex and it had a lot more punch. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

What is your jetting at now? Have you put on an aftermarket filter or is the Big Gun your only mod? Do you have a vented airbox or run with no lid?

I just picked up the quad last week and am not sure of the jetting right now. I know it has been rejetted though. It has a uni foam filter and i am running the stock airbox cover on it.
Thanks

it is important to know what temp and altitude your riding in. a general guess would be to run a 155 KEIHIN mainjet in the winter months. in the summer months you will have to go smaller on the mainjet. you could also put in a 42 pilot jet. if the bike seems to be missing when barely on the throttle you may need to move your needle clip to the 4th position.

i forgot to mention that keihin jet and dynojets are different. so, a 150 keihin is NOT the same as a 150 dynojet. so, if the bike is rejetted, make sure you know what kind of jets are in it. the keihin jets have a K on the jet. the K almost looks like a star.
