I'm going to get a 19 Husky or KTM when they come out. I would hate to even ride those bikes Digger, they are so "Purdy".

The rider is faster but the bike definitely is not :-)

Thanks a bunch :-) I was able to through a friend to get my hands on the FMF head pipe for my bike last wk. They're on backorder until June 1st. I'm definitely impressed with the right off of an idle snap and middle punch from it. Will hopefully run it on the dyno this week for some fine tuning.

Where did you set the TPS with the full system? We are putting ours on next week!

Anyone else getting water in the air box while washing? Yes I am using a twin air cover, but still getting water in the air boot...

I'm at 64 with the full system, cut air box cover, DT1 screen-less cage and the full system. A buddy was here last night who has an 18 450SX-F and he was complaining about the off idle stumble and the decal pop with his 450 and I started mine and he was like "that thing Fn barks and doesn't sound anything like his 450" My bike is so crisp that when you blip the throttle it just barks and revs so fast. I haven't seen any water in the air-box but I've only washed it twice. I'll be checking from this point forward though. I'm impressed with just how responsive the throttle is without any remapping yet.

Hey Digger, how’s the OEM battery? Did you replace it?

So far so good Joe. I didn't have any issues with last yrs either but my previous 2 were shit as you know and had to be replaced immediately.

Is it the same dimensions as the old? Just wondering if I should keep my WPS battery for a 19?

They actually went to a different sized battery last yr so the WPS battery's that we ran in 15 and 16 didn't fit in our 17 FE450.

Hey Jeff, I had the ignition and oil filter covers on my last 3 450 FE's powder coated the same color as the Hinson clutch cover. This yr I had them cerakoted but he only had a dozen colors or so and none were even close to the brownish black of the Hinson so I had him do them in matte black. They're not holding up nearly as good so I'm having him powder coat another set that I've got here in the color that matches the Hinson cover.

You need the idle backed all the way out so if you're using the Best Dual sport tps tool just plug it in and you'll see what your TPS's starting voltage is at when the idle is set at the factory of 2200 and it should read .55. Then start backing the idle screw out until the voltage stops going down. For example while plugged in you're going to see .55 then voltage will start going down while you're backing the idle knob out. Most every bike that I've done ends up at .38 -.39 and when you get there and voltage is no longer changing while you're still back the idle screw out you're ready to loosen the 2 torx bolts on the TPS plug and make your adjustment. I've been marking the idle red knob with a black marker and counting the turns out so I can go back and it will start right up and you'll still need to adjust the idle because it will change after the TPS adjustment. Feel free to call me if you get stuck on something and have a question. 508 243 1232 Mike

I have the Best Dual Sport tool..
So, to be correct:
1) Hook up BDS Tool
2) Mark idle screw with a sharpie
3) Start bike
4) See voltage a .55 + -
5) Back Idle out until reach .38 + -
6) Reach .38 + - then
7) loosen TPS
8) Set TPS at .64 + -
9) Re-set Idle


Thanks'

No need to start it Tim because the Best Dual sport TPS tool has a battery and it's supplying power for you. Just back the idle out until the numbers stop going down and that's right around .38-.39. Then adjust the TPS plug and your finally setting will somewhere between .60 and .64. It's trial and error by starting it and seeing how easy it starts and how easy and quickly it revs up. When it starts by barely tapping the button and revs very quickly and without any hesitation whatsoever tighten the torx on the TPS plug because you're done :-) Mike

This is a modded stock header. I purchased a second one and then bought some 304 SS mandrel bends on line. Spent about 4 hours or so Saturday fitting it all. It was welded by a friend this morning. The length is similar to the MX1 KTM factory bikesp
