Hey guys, if I crack the throttle from idle on my new 450sxf it seems to have a severe bog (to the point where the bike will stop running). I was able to ride all day, I just had to be smooth on the gas instead of very aggressive. I’ve read some people have done air box mods, so I tried to let it run without the side cover on for a little while to see if it would clear up and it was the same. Should I try a 2 stroke filter cage as well?
Also do you know if anyone makes a skid plate for this bike yet? Not sure if the frame has changed that drastically from the 18.
Thanks

Seems like the answer is TPS adjustment(might be able to cure this with idle adjustment), Ecu remap(Twisted Development), 2 stroke filter cage and remove screen in exhaust.
I’ve also been hearing people need to keep an eye on the fuel pumps.
P3 Carbon has a good skid plate or Acerbis.

Digger29, I definitely will! Also I read your post about the Hp gains, all 3 different mappings you tried motolab, twisted, and vortex. However, I'm more interested in how the power delivery is with the new mapping. That's a big reason why i bought the ktm, because I can rev it to the moon and how smooth and easy it is to ride. With the new motolab mapping will it be basically the same power delivery, just cleaned up?
I also pre-filter all my fuel before it goes in the tank with a water-separater/filter combo. Some guys run those filter socks too but fuel from the gas stations needs to be filtered somehow before it gets to your fuel line. Gas station fuel is filthy.
I’d highly recommend buying this one it’s by far the best one I have ever had. The fit is perfect and also has some rubber that goes along the frame to stop it vibrating the paint off.
It’s pricey but well worth the money. It’s a carbon mixture but it’s absolutely rock solid.
I’m so glad ktm but mounting brackets on these frames for the skid plates

It’s expensive but I’m glad I got it.
