    heres the info for a 450r carb on a Predator

    I cant take credit of this, but another person emailed me the info on how to do this.. thanks Josh!!

    Remove front fenders, then gas tank, and airbox assembly. This gives you
    access to the top of the motor and the throttle cable. At this time remove
    the stock thumb throttle and disconnect the wiring from the throttle.

    On the carb you will need to remove the choke, I believe it is a 9/16. With
    that disconnected you can now remove it since you will not need it. With the
    thumb throttle assembly off and throttle cable removed from the thumb
    throttle assembly you can move on to the gas line. Using a pair of pliers,
    slide back the retain and pull off carb. At this time you can loosen the
    clamp on the motor side. Remove stock carb. The throttle cable does not need
    to be disconnected from the carb.

    The 450R carb has a choke lever directly on the carb, just like the 400EX's
    do. Located on top of the carb is a black plunger. That is where the hot
    start for the 450R connects. This is not needed and that plunger will need
    to be trimmed down in order to clear the top motor mount. On the bottom of
    the carb you will notice a 2 wire connector. This is for the warmer, that is
    not used either. At this time, you can cut those or tape them up. On the
    side of the carb you will see another connector for the TPS. This will not
    be use either.

    Insert the carb into the intake tube. Tighten down clamp. You will need a
    450R throttle cable. On the side of the carb, you will see a black plate.
    You can remove that plate by lossening the screw at the top of the plate.
    Once removed, pull the top of the plate towards you and lift. This will
    remove the plate. Thread the end of the throttle cable into the top of the
    carb. It should be obvious where this is. Then route the cable into hole on
    the lower "roller". This, also, should be obvious. Route cable to handle
    bars then install into Yamaha YFZ450/Honda 450R thumb throttle. The Polaris
    thumb throttle will be usable. NOTE: You will have route your throttle cable
    differently then stock. The honda cable is shorter. I advise running the
    cable on the outside of the gas tank then up to the bars. You will not be
    able to route it the "stock" way.

    Lastly, you will need to hook up the fuel line. The stock fuel line is too
    small to attach to the 450R carb. You will need to get an adaptor and fuel
    line large enough for the inlet on the 450R carb. Connect the 2 fuel lines
    together. Reassemble airbox assembly. Turn on gas. You are ready to run.

    Jetting of the carb varies. Since the carb is a pumper jetting will be
    nothing close to jetting for the stock carb. Depending your set up you will
    need any where from a 160MJ to 175 MJ. This you will have to play with.

    These are instuctions for the Predator only. I am not familiar with any
    other quad. Installation of the 450R should be similar

    Nice review/walkthrough Josh(I assume is MAaudio)..........I have one question: Did the carb seem to fit into the motor well?? Is it level up and down, or is it tilted back?? Did you have to trim the motor mount?? Thanks!!!!

    the stock Carb is JUNK....and let me tell you first hand when you have a modified stock Carb its a TWEEKING HASSLE... Im srue if you even asked Daryl Rath he would agree(actually, I think I seen him post that once ) Im not good on typing up all the specifics, someone help out a lady please!! If you can get your hands on a Carb then I encouraage it . I have one on my EX and it is a great added modification I would like to get one for our Preddy in the near future.
