2008 KFX 450R - Exhaust Install Questions


hippieman

Recommended Posts

I have a 2008 Kawasaki KFX 450R. Looking to put an exhaust onto it, since the stock one is getting some rust build up on it. I have a few questions though, since i would like to do it my self and not have to take it to an ATV shop.

1. If i was to buy a slip on exhaust for my KFX 450R, does anything else need to be done to my ATV besides just taking off the old pipe and installing the new one?

2. If i was to buy a brand new FULL exhaust for my KFX 450R, besides installing it what else needs to be done with the quad to have it run correctly? Is there any jets or anything that need to be adjusted? If so how do i got about doing that?

Any feed back from anyone would be helpful...thanks

i have a dmc efi controller for my raptor. i like it works pretty good. i have the dmc duals with it. theres lots of companies that make them . its all in what you want and how much you want to pay. pretty much every exhaust company makes them now. and they program fuel maps to run with their exhaust.

alhtough this is an older thread, but if you went a head and want a full exhaust save up more money and go ahead and get your big 3. intake, programmer and exhaust. you said you ahve the K&N filter is that the drop in K&N or the actual K&N intake system? the big restriction on the 450 if the intake. The full exhaust will give you gains but the intake will give you greater gains. at your sea level a programmer is crucial if you do either or cause the stock ecu can't handle that large of a jump into a lean condition. but if you're looking for an idea. on my 450 I have 13" dasa(loud as hell not recommended for trail riding go with the 15" can), procom ecu, and FCI intake. But I'm going to change my controller to a Power Commander V with the auto-tune feature for when I change altitude we go from 5000 up to 12,000 and the auto-tune will help compensate for the changes. A regular PCIII and Procom won't adjust to altitude.

      What's the best kids atv out there? I've seen everything from the ones released by the major manufacturers to all those knock offs. Kawasaki has a KFX 50 that is pretty nice for under $1800...

      having an issue with the unit when running under a load up a hill or in high gear, seems like the belt is slipping, there is a clapping sound coming from the primary clutch like it releases and snaps back in. i don't think I should have a noise like that. this is a friends unit and he has already replaced the primary twice with the same result.
      not sure where to look next

      Anyone purchase or check out Rockymtnatv lately? Well I was just browsing over there and they have a pretty cool section called Ten Dollars Or Less. Some interesting things to check out if you are in the market.

      Hello, im looking for some input on this situation i have. My 94 Mojave has no spark, and i have no idea what it is. Ive replaced/tested the magneto, the pickup coil, cdi, the ignition coil. Even the key and Killswitch. I haven't tested the harness its self, but i have tried another harness and still nothing. The only thing i can think of is the fly wheel itself. I have found a lot of metal shavings in the fly wheel and have cleaned it the best I could. But nothing happened afterwards. I am truly stumped here and hoping some of yous could shed some knowledge/ideas that could help get this thing to fire.
