definitely try to do what mike said and try to test ride what you want. But choosing between a 400 or a 450 is a tough choice. One thing to consider is most of the 450s are now fuel injected except for the honda. This way if you change in elevation you don't have to mess with the carb just hop on and ride. The kawie 450 does have reverse and is known as a good trail/woods quad and I am not saying that just cause I own one. But if you decide to put the big 3 (pipe, intake, and fuel controller) on it you most likely need to take it to a dyno to get it mapped to make it run at its full potential instead of just changing a jet in the carb. The Honda 400ex is still consider one of the best trail sport quads and even with the new body style on the honda the engine and tranny on those have not changed through out the years, and you can find an abundant of aftermarket parts for them.

I already have a rekluse Z-start and it works perfectly, All i need now is the clutch basket. Maybe rekluse stuff just hates other brands besides honda

Maybe that or I know an abundant of people who can't read instructions:confused:

it was a blast, I just wish that guy with the green kawie didn't sleep through his alarms so we had more time to ride....oh wait that was me:aargh:.......still was a blast though hopefully we can go out next weekend again.

Wonder what my Venom stickers would do

Well that depends Dale do you have the other two parts of your big three?....you know, venom head, venom pipe, and venom stickers:laugh:

My number plates added 4 hp... LOL

I thought it was for every sticker you add on it adds an additional 5 hp, good thing I have a few

When I do ride a 4x4, its a 2006 350 honda rancher all time 4-wheel drive all stock except for a 1500lbs winch. first atv my family has bought. Usually I use it for rock crawling and trail riding, but I do use it for some skills races (times obstacle course).

Everyone I have talked to loves their Rekluse.

I've seen two different guys on yfz's with rekluse clutches lock up in 1st gear while racing. Blame it on improper install on them but I know with the kawi 450 there's been a few that have done the same thing, never heard a reason why though. And the only reason I really say hinson is cause a lot of race teams use it. Granted they ridiculously expensive but if they can hold up to racers abuse it should hold up to our.

you might to try over at kfx450hq. there are some kfx450r gurus over there who have done the testing and should be able to give you an answer.

Well the bolt in the axle is still stuck in there lol, but i have some plans to get that out, and the clutch basket is really REALLY loose on the clutch gear and was making noise, so i ether need to get a new one like a rekluse basket or somehow mod mine to stop the wobble. And then i just have to put it all back together :3

For the cost of the rekluse I would save a little more and get a hinson basket instead. Rekluses are nice but I haven't met anyone with one that worked properly.

Well my plans changed:realmad: I am not going to make it this weekend I gotta work

State Championship is this weekend. Whos all coming down?

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.

Yes sir ! lives a mile or so up the road Good people a little crazy though !!

We're not Crazy Dale:laugh:Maybe a little off, but not crazy. :elefant:

All 3 of us are riding buddies!!!

Only if this damn snow would quit coming down so we can go ride. I am itching to ride the 700.

my son , racing in the sorcs series [ 2009]

on a 700!!!!! Nice!!!

Sweet!!! Then here's me diving in to a corner last weekend ice racing.

Do we have to be ours or can we put links to what others have taken of us?

I use the same fuel controller on my LT-R, it is fully adjustable and will easily be able to compensate for the extra airflow.

Cool I didn't know, everyone I know runs either the Power Commander line or 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!!

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.

interested in making a good trip like that?

If I had more time off from work. You're damn right I would put something together like this. If it even exists damn pipe dream rides.

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.

the K&n makes one that claims 4.5 hp increase, fuel custom intake FCI claims 6 hp gain over stock. The air-intake is very restrictive you'll be surprised in what you'll gain with an after market one.

Still can`t beat my R:wink:

maybe after I get my head port and polished with a new piston I'll be able to beat your quad dale......maybe:wink:

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?

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.
