i just got a 400ex and i can ride wheelies fine and 12 and that **** but when i got to do slow slow stuff it dies on me and i already have my iddel all the way up any suggestions????

 

i got the same prob bro! I don't think theres much we can do about it.

 

if you go too slow it will die Just slip the clutch a couple times if it feels like it's gonna kill it'll get jerky before it actually kills. Is that what your problem is?

 

yea that the problemon my regular street bike i can just rase the idel and it fine i can coast and everything i was just wondering if theres anything i could do or change on the bike so i can 12 at slower speeds

 

angle the carb a little bit forward would work. Just a little bit is all youw ould need I would think.

 

ill have to try that thanks

 

ive had a raptor,two 4 hundos,and now a predator.its the same **** with all of them.i know depending on the carb u can adjust the float level thats what i did on my predator but it stills does it,welcome to the world of quads.

 

lol thanks for yall help if i find a way to stop it ill let yall know

 

is your quad stock? When mine was stock it would do the same thing. I ended up going with a 440 kit and some carb and pipe mods and for whatever reason......dosn't skip a beat???? I have a 42 pilot a 170 main and my clip is on the third notch from the top and the a/f screw is out 2-3/4 turns... i can creep with mine almost at 12 and still no skipping

My buddy has a stock raptor and i can come to a complete stop with the grab bar about 1 inch from the ground and rock it back forward and continue wheelies it hasent died on me BUT if i dont rev it up or haul **** between doing them then it will kinda stutter a bit...

 

also remember to slip your clutch when your going that slow. i dont sqeeze it in all the way just let it slip.

 

My 450 runs all day on the bar, as a matter of fact, it will drag me in an apehanger, do NTH's, etc and never die.

 

i don't know if they make such a thing for quads/bikes but on race cars, they have jet extensions in the carburetor so when you take off the fuel won't pull away from the rear jets on a holley, so maybe if someone made something where you could lower the main jet or even the pilot more into the bowl, it would probably stop dying.

 

kool i might look into that where did you find all the stuff you but on the bike a web site or mag

 

we have a raptor and it tries to kill everytime we scrape, but here lately we havent been 12in it all the way due to the fact that if it dies we have to pull start it which is a bitch if you dont have a strap and truck around lol....


but if you reverse everything that way everything is feel fuel like its supposed to then you shouldnt have much trouble with it....at least our friends dont and we dont on the 400. :

 

ive been messin w/ my idle and carb and fuel and mixtuer ive got it a lil better where it kills less but when i get it perfect ill tell yall what i did

 

great Id like to know myself.

 

mostly trial and error. Also I ice race so I get alot of practice . Im at sea level, so depending where you live...the jetting will be different b/c of the altitude.
