Hi everyone this is my first post. I have an '03 Foreman 450ES with 3800KM that is all stock except for stock size ITP Mud-Lites and a Warn 2.5t winch. I just installed a Dynonet kit with the needle and the DJ126 main jet, along with a K&N filter. Prior to the jet and filter i could easily hit 82 Km/h or more for top speed, but after im struggling to break 80 Km/h. I notice the extra low end punch but I thought I would gain top end power as well. Do I just need some tuning or is this a trade off with these mods?

Also do the slip on exhausts like the HMF utility and the FMF powerline really live up to their claims of 7HP and such?

Thanks

If not mistaken, you actually went smaller that the stock size jet. I think
the stock size jet is a 130.

The Dynojet mains are numbered differently from the stock Keihin jets, the DJ126 is equal to a 140 Keihin, here is a conversion chart <a href="http://www.700v.com/dynojet.htm" target="_blank">http://www.700v.com/dynojet.htm</a>

I also see you have the HMF utility series exhaust, did it make a noticeable increase in power?

i have 1998 foreman 450 and i run a hmf exhaust and dynojet kit with the dynojet 134 main jet, cut the throttle spring in half and a K&N filter and i have a lot more power than stock.

differance .

Sweet, now I just gotta find a cheap one, LOL. BTW does anyone know why HMF has 2 utility pipes for the Foreman, 2001 and down, and 2002 and up. Is there really a huge difference between the two?[/quote]

there the same pipe but i think the bend is different to clear the shock.
