new ride

[SandDragon]

Well, I joined the dark side kinda... I bought the wifey an 06 YFZ 450 yesterday.   :grin_nod:  Anybody got any suggestions on jetting with a K&N intake???  The pipes glow more than normal... sugesting a lean condition.  Yes, I am aware they are suppossed to glow a little bit... but these babies were red 1/2 way down the pipe!!!  LOL  I'm leaving the motor stock but my be interested in some ehaust down the road.  I've got a good lead on some AC nerfs... anybody know if they are good???  If ya got any suggestions advice or comments... lets have it.

A friend did the CAM MOD, PIPE, JETTING and ACCEL PUMP MOD and the bike screams......I could get his jetting numbers but I dont know if it will help, we are in Southern California

Change pilot to 45, get an adjustable needle from an 04, and go up to 165 on the main or 170 if you remove the baffle.

Agreed.
AND Put the needle on clip position 5

If you go aftermarket exhaust, DR D makes a nice slip on that gives good power for not a lot of money.  HMF is about the same too.

ac nerfs are supposed to be turds. most ac products are supposed to be but i havent experienced this personally, just heard from alot of people.

cam mod is free horsepower and there is a full write up on YFZ central.

my pipe glows like a mofo  but its not lean.

there is also a full pipe shootout with dyno graphs and everything.




tell your wife to hold the hell on

The jetting is a must... thing runs poopy.  I may be able to snag a Rossier exhaust setup from a bud, but I prolly won't even do the cam mod.... yet.  She is upgrading from a Blaster, so I wanna make sure she wants more speed.  I think she'll be shitting bricks when she rides it.    I sure as hell don't miss carburation... I hate carbs.  I saw the choke lever and was like "oh yeah...."  GERD bless fuel injection.

Thanks for the jetting tips guys.  My bud said 165 and 45, but I never heard of the needle trick.  ATV Nationals are in MI next weekend... so my mind is on the Raptor for this week.  She isn't worried about how it runs... as long as it has electric start. LOL  :grin_nod:

the pipe glowing is nothing to worry about. all of them do it. sometimes caused by a lean condition, but not always. usually just because the pipes are really thin metal.

Grats on the new ride man!!! You'll have to get some Picks with Michelle on it! :grin_nod:

[Warren]

congrats on the new YFZ. 




i was thinking since my raptor can't beat yours in a drag that we could race your wife's blaster and against my girlfriends wolverine but i guess that's out of the question. 


oh hell, lets have a wheelie contest sanddragon. 

[who else but rk]

blaster would rape the wolverine anyway

Yeah congrates    Hell I don't think I would even dare to buy the wife something that didn't have reverse, but then again we do almost 100% trails so it's a must   :grin_nod: I would like to have one but I have no need for one  But lets see them pics

Well I finally got a pic of the bike... I need to get some graphics going on it and get some real pics.  The middle of September is fast approaching now, so little time, even less $$$  LOL.

I'll take the wheelie challenge Warren.  You have to ride the Warrior and I'll ride the Blaster.  The Blaster is for sale at this point too fellas... I have all the stock plastics too, but someone needs a pink bike for their lady friend. 

EDIT: upload folder full.  :'(
