KFX 450 cam mod ???

Recommended Posts

I have no idea, there is at least one other KFX 450 rider that I know of on the site, maybe he will chime in with something. What I do know, is that I run stage 1 Hotcams in my LT-R 450 and they work great. I would ceartainly recommend them if you want to go that route. Also, any cam upgrade is going to be more effective with upgraded exhuast, intake, and a fuel controller.

its not the kxf 450 thats two stroke dirt bike if I remember correctly. but an 07- 09 KX450 four stroke have the same grind as stage two hotcam. I have heard of guys doing it and it opens the top end up a lot on the KFX450 which is were these quads usually fall on there faces. You have the big three (pipe, intake, and fuel controller) other was cams are worthless cause you have no way of adjusting the a/f ratio as well as not having the proper in and out for air and exhaust. My suggestion is though is either look for stage one kx450 hotcam or stage two kf450 hot cams. They have the same grind on the lobes as the stock kx450 cams and you can usually find new hotcams for cheap on ebay.

Thanks for the input I will check into this further also what intake do you run I am looking at purchasing one already have a exhaust and fuel controller also how much do you gain with the intake thanks!!

I run the fuelatv.com air eliminator intake (no air box) but like others I am finding out they're junk. Go with fuel custom's intake (FCI) bigger intake and made better. A stock intake on these are the worse thing for them after the airbox that 5" diameter filter makes a 90degree tun and converts into a damn near 1"x3" rectangle then back to the 36mm throttle body. Be prepared for a 5+ hp gain just by changing the intake and get your quad dynod after this if you search on other forums you can ask guys to send you there maps to run if you're running the same fuel controller. What fuel controller are you running on your kfx450? PCIII; PCV; or the procom?

Will a intake really add 5 horse to my KFX 450? Just the fuel custommes intake is a little expensive so I want to be sure before I spend the cash thanks!!

5 hp probably not but it will open the air to it With fuel controller Full exhaust system and intake your going to wake it up :yes: the head pipes on these quads are too small they choke your power :yes:I found out the hard way

Hey Jonny 450 are you still there what are your thoughts will it add 5 horse I know a intake on a honda or yfz wont but i herd on the kfx it does thanks!!

There was a guy who dynoed all three intakes on kfx450hq one time but I can't remember what each gain was. I do think though that you can get 5 hp gain with the intake easily cause the stock one is so restrictive. Remember all the numbers are based off of a stock quad and you might not get exactly 5 more if not close to it. One thing to keep in mind, if you decide to go with a aftermarket intake, does the fuel controller you're running have enough adjustment to make your quad run properly.

Going back to this one if you're looking for trying to find an intake cheaper I think tech quad shop is still having a sale on fuel custom intakes. But when you're talking $250-$300 for an intake granted its a chunk of change it's worth every penny. If I look in my garage I think I might have a k&N replacement filter for the stock air box running around.

I wish I would have spent a few more $$ and gotten a more popular one, ie. the PC, because of the availability of suggested fuel maps to go with your specific mods, is would be nice to have a general starting point like that. Poking around blindly at the thing to get it fine tuned is kind of a pain, like jetting a carb, but at least I get to push buttons instead of change jets.

no doubt I had the pcIII and now I got the procom ecu that modifies the fuel mapping and timing. unfortunately there's no push button option but it has 10 pre set map on it and you can go on their site and get more map their website. Or you can take it to the dyno and have them modify one of the set maps.

you need to upgrade to a larger throttle body with the higher volume injector to meet the fuel needs of the high comp piston and stage 3 cams.

      I’m looking for a top end kit for a Yamaha. I would like to see how well the engine runs before spending $6-$7 hundred on oem. Niche has complete kits from $1-$2 hundred.  Anyone have experience with Niche or similar Chinese companies?

      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

      My 2008 can-am Outlander 800r is having hard shifting issues. Does anyone have a fix for this ?
    • By Am2007
      Hi everyone,
      Outlander 2006 400 XT i have replace the startor cover and right after i did that the oil light is on and not turn off, i check the wires and checked the oil level, everything seem to be normal quad is starting without any problem and rev just fine. i did not want to ride it since im not sure if it is faulty sensor or not so just be safe i did not let it run more the a minute or so. 
      I have read in the owner manual that i need to clean the oil strainer every 200hr unfortunately i never did that, my service manual that i have does not even indicate of such a thing. so i did some search around and it seem like canam split the manual into 3 parts
      owner manual
      service manual
      engine manual
      I have the first 2 but i can not find the last one, part number 219100232. If someone can guide me where do i find the oil strainer so i can clean it i will appreciate it.   im going to do an oil pressure test tomorrow to check how many PSI i have, just to make sure.
      Thanks
