  1. I think I have it fixed.I took both the kill switch and the Procomm cdi box off and reset the carb fuel screw to the orig settings as per the jet kit instructions.It still cut out intermittently at high rpm.I was messing with it and noticed the clear inline fuel filter I had installed about 1 !/2 yrs ago wasn't staying full.I set the fuel petcock to prime and it ran better.I ended up taking the petcock off and apart and found some fuzz around the pickup screens.I cleaned out the fuzz and installed a new fuel filter and it runs good now.I'm gonna reinstall the parts I took off and see if the problem was just the fuel restriction or not.Do you think I should put in a bigger main jet when I put the cdi back on?Thanks for the replies!
  2. My '07 Arctic Cat DVX400 has a fuel petcock that's like your Vinson's.As long as you have it in either "on" or "res" during storage/transportation you'll be fine.It's setup for when vacuum is applied it opens and allows fuel flow.If it's like mine it gets the vacuum from the carb.When it's in the "prime"position it flows with or without vacuum.Hope this helps
  3. Thanks for the reply.I tried to edit the title after posting but couldn't get it to go through.That wiring diagram isn't for my machine.I have a 2wd DVX400 sport quad.It has the same engine,frame,suspension,etc as the Suzuki LTZ400.I looked in the Artic Cat section before posting and it was all 4wd posts.That was why I put it in the Suzuki section
  4. I'm putting this in the Suzuki section because my machine is essentially a Suzuki LTZ400and there's more traffic/knowledge in this section. (moved into Arctic Cat Forum..by ajmboy) I have a 2007 Arctic Cat DVX400 and I recently installed a Pro Design tether kill switch-normally closed(I think;it grounds when tether is pulled)and a Procomm cdi box(+1K rpm & different ign curves).I installed the kill switch as directed(one wire to ground and one wire to trigger positive) and I richened the a/f mix screw as a precaution.I went and rode a couple hard,high rpm test rides and it started cutting out and died.It was very hard to restart and when it does restart it sounds as if a valve is sticking open and it doesn't want to rev for a little while.I got worried and reinstalled my oem cdi and it does the same thing.It runs fine at low/mid rpm and doesn't make any strange noises either.What do you think I screwed up?Please help;thankyou
  5. Update-I ended up getting a set of Renthal standard size(7/8") oem bend handlebars and some Smith Optics brand grips from a local dealer.It feels different from stock;but I'm still not 100% comfy.I'm really thinkin about trying the Rox riser.Here's a link ATV Handlebar Risers I also recently got a new front bumper,cooler rack,nerf bars,steering stabilizer(Streamline-thanks 'Bot),hour meter,and tether kill switch.I also finally got a new digital camera so I'll be able to get some pics up soon I hope.I almost forgot-if anyone is needing/wanting new handlebars;Renthal has a deal goin on if you order/purchase new Renthal bars(fat or skinny) by August 1st and go on their website you get a pair of limited edition bar pads FREE
  6. I'm needing some new handlebars since I rolled my 2007 DVX/LTZ400 last December.I was hoping I could get some good ideas/info from others who's bought aftermarket bars.I'm 6 feet tall and the factory bars have always felt too low.From what I've read the factory bars are the CR Hi bend;is that true?What real benefits do the oversized 1 1/8" bars give?Which has a better vibration dampening effect;steel or aluminum?Do the antivibe steering stems really do much compared to stock?Would I be better off getting a steering damper and leaving the stock stem alone?I do all types of riding;everything from woods/trail to sand dune&mud running.I've been using some padded palm gloves to reduce the vibe it has already.Thanks in advance
  7. I've got Nextel service(for now;thinkin about goin to AT&T) and a Motorola i850 phone.I love the direct connect but hate how it doesn't get service in alot of places(my house,Badlands atv park,Walmart,Lowes,Big R,etc,etc)Does anyone who uses AT&T have good things to say about the AT&T's PTT feature?
  8. I have used one on my Arctic Cat DVX400.I installed a full system exhaust and an air intake kit on it.The exhaust I bought came with a jet kit;but it was only a selection of main jets.I installed the recommended main jet and at idle the headpipe turned orange hot(similar to right before you apply air on a cutting torch) and it shot flames out the muffler even w/ the spark arrester in:mad:.I ordered a dynojet kit and it came with the main jet selection,an adjustable needle(oem was non adjustable),a drill bit for the fuel screw plug,and some very well written instructions.I installed the stage 2 setting of the dynojet kit.It now never turns colors and runs very well;excellent throttle responce,no bog,the e fan doesn't come on as often,and I'm getting better fuel economy also:biggrin:.I've read a jet kit helps a stock machine but have no personal experience on that.Hope this helps
  9. I don't know if they sell the head pipe separate from the whole system or not;but I got a full system FMF exhaust for my 250X(uses the same exhaust as 300EX)for around 300 bucks.Hope this helps
  10. If I were you;I'd make sure to get something with reverse.The 400EX didn't have reverse until a couple years ago.Another thing;if you go to the Kelley Blue Book website ( www.kbb.com ) you can see what atv's are worth before you go and pay too much.Hope this helps and welcome to the site
  11. Yeah;I have Socom for the PS2 but haven't played it on the PS3 yet.You owe it to yourself to play Pure.I rented it and was fairly close to beating it within a couple wks.I think its a game that's replayable over and over
  12. Cool!I'll see about maybe gettin hooked up this week.I dunno how much I'll be on though;I'm on call at my job this week.What games you got?I have GTA4,NFS Undercover,and Uncharted:Drakes Fortune.I was renting a bunch when I first got it but I've been trying to save up for some quad parts I need/want.BTW did you do all the upgrades to your 460EX or have a shop do it?I'm lookin at a 435 kit for the DVX but also thinkin about trade in for a KFX450R-unsure what I want to do
  13. I picked up a 120G PS3 after Xmas but haven't gotten it connected to psn yet.What all is required?
  14. I've gotten parts from Rocky Mountain,Bikebandit,Motosport,and Cabela's.I like the specific explanations that Rocky Mountain gives better than Motosport;but I've gotten better prices through Motosport.I like the parts fiche on Bikebandit.I still haven't found a jet kit for my '91 Honda 250X.I've checked almost all the major companies that build/sell jet kits;not just the places that sell them.If someone could help me out I'd be very grateful
  15. Did you check for blown fuses and/or fuseable links?
  16. No pics or vids-Sorry I haven't progressed that far yet.Yes;it was my first time riding big/steep hills with snow/ice/slush mixture.Both times rolling I didn't have enough momentum to get all the way up and then it caught a tree root and either grabbed traction or shot me sideways in a dugout type trail.The first time I tried to ride backwards down the hill but it got sideways and rolled over me.I think that's when my ribs got hurt when the handlebars stabbed me rolling sideways.The second time it died(I think I might've used too much rear brake going down a hill and killed it)then the wheels locked up and I bailed but it kinda got me that time too.Then after I got stuck and covered with mud I started hurting after I tried to lift the rear out of a mudhole.I said I was gonna call it a day and started back to the truck.I had to go up a hill with almost no runnout space before the hill started.The rear tires caught a root and sent it to 12 o clock and then back over top of me.That was number three;I left the quad in the truck for a couple days after getting home and haven't rode since.I think I'm gonna get some gear before I get back on the horse.
  17. My header pipe did the same thing( '07 DVX/Z400);but it glowed orange hot after I installed the HMF full system.I had it jetted the way HMF said to but it took a rejet kit(Dynojet-stage2)to get it right.My quad has a ThrottlePositionSensor(TPS) and it's carbed.The way I understand it's for the ignition advance.I've seen a bunch of stuff for the YFZ;carb wise.You might check out www.F2racing.net ;they have a kit that's supposed to be really good.I also seen an article in www.Quadmag.com about a timing change you can do to make better power;all you do is advance or retard the timing one tooth.Hope this helps
  18. That's what I USED to wear.I got hurt about 3-4 weeks ago and I'm still feelin it.I never went to the doctor;but I think I either broke or cracked a couple ribs,aggravated the rotator cuff on my r shoulder,and pulled/tweaked several muscles all over last time I went riding.I rolled my DVX400 three separate times in one day in the course of about an hour and a half.After Christmas is done I'm planning on getting a bunch of new riding gear as well as new handlebars,different tires,nerfbars & f/r bumpers
  19. If there was a company that made an adapter it'd probably be Stant.I bought a tester for automotive applications from a local tool truck guy and in the paperwork there was a bunch of different adapters available.Here's a link for the adapters Stant
  20. I think I'd try replacing the radiator cap before changing out the water pump.If the cap is like on a car it will have a pressure rating;if you had a tester or had it tested at a shop you could tell for sure if it's good or not.If the cap is not holding the proper pressure it will leak out in the form of steam.Alot of times it will not leave any traces of leakage other than a smell and low level in the res.Hope this helps
  21. I installed a Dynojet in my Arctic Cat DVX400.I thought they included some pretty good instructions and it came with about 13 different main jet sizes,new needle,and a couple other minor peices.I live in an area that's about 750 ft above sea level and their kit instructions were designed for sea level to about 1000-1500' above.I bought some drill bit stops at Harbor Freight because I had to remove the plug over the fuel adjustment screw.This isn't a neccessary item but it gave me peice of mind I wouldn't drill too deep.I can't say about the power increase because I had just installed a full system exhaust and did an high flow intake&filter change at the same time.My headpipe was turning orange hot just at idle so I didn't ride it for fear I'd burn it up.I can say it has more power;especially in the low range and to my surprise it gets alot better fuel economy after the changes too.Now if only I could find a rejet kit for my 250X I'd be tickled.Hope this helps...
  22. I would try changing the coil first.It sounds to me like the coil saturation is breaking up when it gets heated.I got a replacement coil for my honda 250X because it was running worse/dying intermittently after warming up.I got a generic universal replacement coil from Parts Unlimited for about $10.The stock replacement was $65.I accidently broke the resistor cap trying to get it off the coil/plug wire;so I used an end off an old automotive plug wire.I haven't had anymore issues of dying but now I'm trying to get a fuel problem fixed.Hope this helps
  23. Yes I do use a flag.I live/usually ride in Indiana and sometimes Illinois.The public area I go to most(Badlands in Attica In) requires it.I just leave it on when I ride on private lands;I figure it helps reduce accidents.It's a standard style plain orange flag I got from the dealer.I also have another flag I got from either RM or Motosport;I think they were between 15-20 bucks.I'd get a QC flag if it was available.I'll try to get some pics up one of these days;I'm not real computer friendly(or is my computer not people friendly?)I voted...
  24. I was wondering a few things about exhaust packing:Can I use a different manufacturers replacement packing in my muffler?Is there a brand that lasts longer/is better than others?I currently have an HMF QRS system on my DVX400 and really don't want to send my muffler back to the company for servicing.I read somewhere that you can purchase the packing and DIY but their website doesn't list packing material as being available.Also is it possible to convert a chambered style muffler to a straight through design?Thanks
