well, going by your signature I am assuming alot.
with the stock airbox lid in place & a K&N filter I would assume your jetting might be ok in stock form. If you have a modified or removed airbox lid you will want to consider a jet change.
your stock main jet should be a 148. You would need to go to around a 160 or 165 I would think.
to remove the main jet simply pull the drain plug off of your carb bowl, reach up inside with a socket (8mm I think) and remove the main jet. No need to remove the carb from the bike.

You know the world is going crazy when France is accusing the US of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war.
THANKS 3PUNKSDAD THATS ALOT OF HELP. YEA I HAVE THE AIRBOX LID OFF BUT I HAD OUR LOCAL HONDA SHOP DO THE JETTING FOR ME AND I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN REALLY TRUST THEM OR NOT IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN. IT TOOK THEM A WEEK TO DO THE JETTING!
How did your Honda set it up? Tell us the jet sizes and air/fuel screw settings, hopefully they told you or will tell you if they still remember.

If you want your quad to start real good, change the pilot jet; although it takes a lot of time.
