So I posted about a year ago that I picked up this minty 450, and hadn't done a thing with it since! I finally brought it out of mothballs and threw 2 new tires on it, a new air filter, changed the oil, and installed a Pro Circuit slip on I picked up cheap just for shits and giggles. Fresh gas. Tons of compression. Here is my question-my jetting seems to be a little off and could this be because of the slip on?
Took it out to the track to run a few laps yesterday and took it easy (the fork seals are leaking but I did the usual temporary fix for the day), and it ran pretty dang good aside from just a little hiccup. Any thoughts on the jetting by anyone? I will say that the motor is what I remember from my 2003-tons of torque, meaty, and pretty dang quick. My regular ride is a 2018 FC350, and this will be a nice compliment to that bike. Fun fact-this 450 weighs the same as my 350! Anyway, it will be a fun bike and nice change from the 350. The forks need a rebuild badly, and I still need to give it a good once over otherwise. Any advice on set up or this jetting query would be appreciated.

Just replace it, order a new 45 and a 48. Toss the 48 and see what you think.a fresh pilot is where i always start tho as they get plugged up and never run right again.
