04 450 Jetting Kit

Blunny · Aug 27, 2008

Hi All.

Has anyone tried Dales kit on a 450? Any one down under? I see lots of references to the 550 & 650s but nothing on the little fella, except for your bike Taffy.
We use 98 RON fuel and I am lucky to ever get above 1000M so is Dales kit the way to go?
Thanks

ahem!

get on with it 8O 8O 8O

it'll work fine. nothing to do with;

fuel
cc
continent
climate (well maybe a little)
altitude (ok just a tadge)
riding area
model
year
colour scheme

infact when you get the kit, rejet it to my specs in the doc. as strange as it sounds, dale did a brilliant job with the needle but his bikes are made for the track and his low speed jetting is set rich.

Jetting etc

Yes thanks Taffy. I thought I would get a clip 'round the ears from you. Its just that I have read every page of the fuel section, and am still confused. Some of the owners are getting the kits and still need to make a heap of changes.
I simply dont have the time to chase the best jetting.
I will buy a kit, book the shop / dyno & we shall see.
This bike is for playing with as it was cheap so it will be interesting as the 06 I had felt so sweet (till it smashed my arm for riding it like a rag doll), so I want the 04 to be nice.

Taffy,

so where it says

settings FCR

and then:

Also, below are Lineaweaver needle settings. This is a bespoke needle that is the best of the 'D' and 'E' series needles

* 150MJ with std/ FX/FC pipe.

* Needle clip 3/4 with 35PJ/45PAJ.

* Reduce pump squirt to .028" or .75 second.

* PS 1 - 1.5 turns

thats with a 200MAJ ?

just curious

BTW your above post re colour scheme is BS, an ohlins sticker gives +10Hp :twisted:

RE: Jetting etc

i make the jetting up as i go but don't tell anyone. everyone thinks that you need the cc, year, temp, is the fuel fresh etc etc. but i did run this jetting - honest!

the MAJ can be viewed a sa strand-alone modification and so it's easy to keep it deperate.

I like a 155 or 160MAj with the 150main depending on clip position but don't tell anyone either :wink:
