you can take out the choke flap and the bar for it inside. then you can bump up the pilot jet to a 42 and you would be able to get a bit better throttle response. do this after you get it running correctly with the lid off and such. you dont want to start doing all of the changes at once and getting it all messed up. the main jets just screw into the adaptor that is in there already. I cant find a picture right now but there should be a peice that stays in there, then the piece that the jet screws into. steve
ya i'm taking a look inside. idt i have a 42 pilot jet for when i do that lol ya thats a good idea. i got confused because my main jet that i have in there is a different size and shape then the fmf main jets i have, its taller and much bigger so that's what confused me because i thought that was an entirely different jet all together lol i deff. have a lot to learn huh? i almost wish i could have some1 to talk 2 to walk me thru this. i really appreciate this help tho!!! i'll take a look for it. the only thing is, what if i need to ride in wet and muddy conditions with the lid off? wont it harm the engine? and could i get a k and n air lid cover in place of the lid? Lance
you will definitely have to be careful of water if you take your lid off. i have an ehs lid that is pretty good along with a k&n outerwears on my filter to help keep the water out. this combo seems to work pretty good since the water doesnt penetrate the outerwear material on either of them since the holes are small enough to offset the surface tension of the water and not let it go through. the k&n is also a good option to help filter and keep the water out. other than that you will have to read the directions on the kit and pop some stuff in there and try it out. the best way to learn is to do and redo when it gets messed up lol. good luck bro. if you get stuck take some pictures of where you are at then i can help you with it. take a pic of your jets, your carb with the bowl off and of the jets inside so i know what ones you are using compared to the one that was in there.

geez ive been learnign quite a bit through reading these few pages myself haha. im in the diesel field so not familiar with this stuff much. i heard somebody on the last page say adjust the slack out of your throttle cable, how do i go about doign this? my thumb throttle can be pushed backwards some, i dont think this is normal haha. anything i can do to fix that? thanks, sorry for kind of goign off topci a little bit. quad is a 2002 400ex
I was thinking about getting a k&n but from numerous people i have heard they let dirt particles in and it breaks the engine so i have always used a foam filter such as twin air, no toil or uni. what about the k&n powerlid? it seems like it would help atleast. is this the ehs u use?

ya thats what im doin, until i screw up ha as soon as i find a camera where i can actually make out what it is ill get it on here asap. Lance
you can do this right on the throttle assembly on the bars. all you have to do is slide the boot back and then turn the knob out to get the slack out of it. you will be able to tell when it is just right since it will start to pull just as you hit the throttle.Quote:

trx, that is the lid that i use. both of them are pretty good though. I like my lid, but have never tried a k&n lid. sounds good on the pics. steve
thanks alot man! and i run a K&N filter with an outerwears cover and dont have any problems. a K&N is a great filter, just keep it clean and oiled
no prob bro, good to hear that i could help you out. steve
ill give it a shot tomorrow and let you know. i just want to fix the part where my throttle can come backwards lol
