Are there any scheduled group rides you guys have on the calendar one can participate in? I'm looking to explore more ride parks out there and meet some new riders in 2023.

Thank you brethren!

I'm sure they just hit the wrong button LOL! Thank you for the great comment I really appreciate it and happy holidays to you and yours!

Thank you brethren! I think it was definitely a good choice! Appreciate the comment!

@@350iroc9 I’m definitely subscribing if you do trail riding and record in that beast

@@alanrodriguez9256 Yes I definitely plan to record all of my riding starting in Glamis Sand Dunes in February.

Yes it certainly opens it up to let the power flow. One recommendation though is to keep checking where it mounts to you carburetor to make sure the clamp is still tight. People have had them walk their way back so better safe then sorry. Thanks for the comment!

Hi Carson and congratulations on your new 450R! Do you ever ride inside the Wayne National Forest?

Yes thank you! I'm almost there leaving Thursday and will be in the dunes this Friday! I'm taking my computer and will upload footage throughout the week! Thanks brother I appreciate you taking the time!

How did she do at the dunes!? Patiently waiting for the videos..

@@baltazarangulo2663 The new machine is absolutely amazing! I was pulling almost everything I raced! So many people wanted to know what my setup was and demanding rematches! The Semi Truck with all of our equipment will be back this Sunday. All of the cameras and memory cards are in it and will start editing the footage just as soon as possible! Thanks as always brother for checking in!

What about dasa shorty??

@@thatyfz33 I have seen much about them

Thank you for the compliment! Yes me and my crew go to Wayne National approximately once a month. We stay at Begley's Campground.

I have a TM DesignWorks case saver to put on and a decent set of Skattrack sand paddles on some Douglas rims to use. I'll bookmark the Glann Innovations website and give them a try! Thank you for the comment!

@@350iroc9 nice man! The glann setup is the best if you snap a chain w the tm setup you will be replacing cases just keep that in mind!

@@ononewheel7 Sweet Lord man I hope not! I always buy good chains from Japan and have never snapped one before. That would be certainly terrible! Fingers crossed brother!

@@350iroc9 sometimes it has nothing to do w the chain! Its happened to lots of people with the cheaper case savers myself included!

@@ononewheel7 so what happens? Is it from having the chain to loose?

I took the stock breather box and placed it in a storage box and put it on the shelf. The 38 Motorsports oil breather replaced it so it's no longer needed. The FCI doesn't make any consessions for the stock breather box and actually I didn't know that until I got it.

So I'm currently running map 5 at 7,7,6. Map 7 seamed to eat way more fuel because its a high compression map. Map 5 is the same as map 9 but with the lower rev limit. If you have a dyno tuner close to you its highly recommended and will certainly ease your mind. Remember that your bike is lean from the factory so your only helping it even with the stock settings of Map 1 5,5,5.

According to the K&N website you should be able to use YA-4504 K&N REPLACEMENT AIR FILTER for the 2016 450R. The one I purchased comes with the Fuel Custom's intake and doesn't utilize a center pin mount like the stock setup but a pipe clamp collar. The Fuel Custom's K&N is kinda large and a bit of a pain to secure with the air box option. If you are looking for a second opinion then Prodesign has a solution but you have to drill out the rivets holding the cone shaped screen and remove it to bolt on their Billet flange system that will accommodate a K&N. Always run a filter precharger with K&N filters. I've used K&N for years but I also clean them after every weekend trip. The K&N spray cleaner in the black bottle is the best and definitely recommend. Then lightly coat with their spray on oil.

Hi Efren. Because it wasn't the most enjoyable install I've ever done I really don't want to take it off to put it back on to make an install video. I'm new to the 450R and learning myself. I can tell you that he issue was all of the wires in the way when attempting to tighten the clamp to the throttle body side. The clamp that Fuel Customs sends you kind of sucks. I ended up deciding to reuse the stock Yamaha clamp that uses a small allen key head. If you go this route though make sure you use an allen key with the rounded style head. This will allow you to get a better angle on it for tightening because there just isn't much room to work and its extremely hard to see in there. Did you get the air box version? Did you already relocate the oil breather box? Do you have any specific questions or concerns on the install?

@@350iroc9 I need to relocate the oil breather box and yes I got the air box version of it. It’s cool I get you bro, I’m just more comfortable seeing someone else do it but thanks for the advice I really appreciate it.

@@350iroc9 Bro hopefully you can answer me soon so I can go riding already. Lol What’s the rubber hose on the bottom of the air intake tube for? Where do I connect that at?

@@efrenrodriguez741 Hi Efren, Looking at my stock intake boot I can see what you are referencing. That hose is designed to be a drain in case water got past the filter system. Since the Fuel Customs intake has no previsions for this hose you can simply remove it.

GLAMIS is like church for the soul! If you have an all stock machine and put on an exhaust you will need either a fuel management controller or a Vortex ECU. If you don't you will be running lean with no way of correcting it. You'll know your lean because the motor will pop when riding. An exhaust will also demand more air flowing in to keep the balance. Without more air you won't get the full benefit of the exhaust (except for the sound). Either remove the air box lid all together -or- if I had to do it again I think I would go with the EHS Racing stock air box cutout/cover. This $90.00 kit will provide open box performance and closed box protection. Although I'm impressed with the FCI intakes performance, I'm less than impressed in the way it was engineered. It loosened up on me in Glamis and was lucky to notice. To tighten it back up is a nightmare because there is little room to do anything on these quads. I myself though and to take the mystery out of proper tuning am seeking a dyno shop in my area. I think I'm close but would prefer to be exact. Also and as an FYI - its imperative to check the voltage output of your TPS sensor. This should be the first thing you do before any upgrades. So many owners are reporting the TPS is out of spec right from the factory. According to the Yamaha service manual it should be .679 to .681. Hope this helps, thank you for the comments and best wishes on your path to the BIG 3!!!!

You can but you won't get the increased airflow that the Fuel Custom's intake provides. The stock intake is a bottleneck in the system and restricts the airflow.

Hi and thank you for the question but as you noted I only have experience with the Rossier brand of exahaust. As I look at mine I can tell you its a two piece system. I inserted the back of the head pipe in first in between the right side of the frame and the rear shock. Second step loosly bolt the head pipe to the head making sure to tighten each one of the two exhaust stud nuts evenly. Lastly fit on the exahaust can assembly to your loosly installed head pipe and snug everything down. Use lock tight on the bolt(s) that hold the exahust can to the frame. Just take your time and don't force anything. Have fun with it and make sure everything is tight and right. Congradualations on your new purchases and the new found power!

Thank you for the update! None of the rp parts worked. The owner was involved and he graciously allowed me to to return the parts even sent me a return shipping label. Wow! So I’m left with the fci intake or a RRP trash panda intake. I’m leaning toward the fci because it’s been proven for years. The other one is too new to tell. Last, I opted to go for the full stainless yoshimura system for exhaust. The rossier was too long on the wait. I’ll keep you posted on how it works soon!

@@mchevownr Well I'm certainly glad you were able to work out a return that's great. We still need more details on why exactly the parts combination didn't work out though. Just as you visited this video for insight its important we go full circle regarding the circumstances for others to understand. The RP intake should of included a 4in blue flexable boot that connects directly to the throttlebody with a clamp. The key words are 4in and flexable. Is this the point you got hung up at? You stated there was a existing bolt in the way preventing the install but we need clarification on what part of the intake was being obstructed (the blue intake boot or the main body of the intake itself?) What was the bolt in the way being used to hold together or its precise location? Secondly to the RP exahust system. Did the owner of RP state that their system is not designed to work in conjunction with the stock YFZ shock creating the clearence issues? If I were you knowing what I know about the challenges you will face installing the FCI, I would opt for a simple Pro-Flow adapter to get rid of the restritive cone screen and mount a K&N or UNI style filter. This will allow for the stock air boot to be used while allowing the sensor to remain safe. The results will increase air flow and utilize the stock airbox. Additionally the filter will mount in a normal fashion as I explained in the video. You can run with the lid off or opt for the cutout as I did.

@@350iroc9 Wow! Amazing questions sir! Can I get your email address and I can share photos and we can figure this out easier than using KZfaq messages? Thank you I’m advance!

@@mchevownr Yes here is my email jason.lakis@gmail.com Let me know right away once you receive this message and record my email so I can delete (you understand). Looking forward to the data you gathered for analysis. Thanks in advance!

So I did do it right away! I have a buddy with a 2017 that let go twice on him! The first time it happened Yamaha covered it under warranty but the second time he was on his own and did a ton of damage. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night with the stock clutch basket! Highly recommend because $400 can save you thousands $$. Also to note I can't even notice the difference using the non-slipper version! Thanks for watching and don't forget to get a new gasket!

@@350iroc9 oh alr but is this tended to people who race because I only ride around my property I don’t go on trails or racing on dunes?

@@yahirbarragan6630 So this issue can happen to anyone any year 2014+. The problem is that one of the springs can slip out of the backing plate destroying everything. My buddy is not a track guy and just like you rides in back yards but still has fun with it. I think it should be a recall myself. Imagine if your drive train just locked up when you weren't expecting it! When I first heard about this issue I said the same you did. My mind changed when my buddy showed me the pics of the damage to his machine. Honestly I placed my order that day! Again it happened to him twice and the first time Yamaha footed the bill and did all the work! If nothing else you should call Yamaha and express your concerns. A quad can be replaced but we mortals can't. The whole thing is aggravating but another $400 added to the thousands for piece of mind is priceless in my opinion. These things really are money pits but I still love'em.

Are you happy with your machine in stock form? How did it perform in Glamis?

I like it just needs a little more power through it. And it hand alright

Anthony try disconnecting the wires to the TPS plug and any of the plastic shielding near it. Take your time you can't afford to not get it to slip on the throttle body correctly. Make sure you have plenty of light to see what you are doing.

@@350iroc9 I haven’t been to Wayne in 20 years. Is it still pretty good? I’ve been too Perry State Forest a few times. It’s pretty good. Yes I would love to go with ya guys

Hi Marcos. The one hose that went to the rubber intake boot is a water drain line you don't need anymore. The second and third should of been to the oil breather box (AIS) that I connected to the new 38 motor sports breather box.

@@350iroc9 what fuel controller did you get with this pipe? And is that all you had to do to run this pipe? No engine mods? I know some pipes require all kinds of stuff

@@Jesusiskingamen7 I have the Voxtex X10 ECU currently set to map 5 - 6, 6, 6, - The Vortex X10 replaces the stock ECU and allows you to control the fuel directly from it eliminating the need for an add-on fuel controller. My quad just needed a bit more fuel so I turned the stock base line settings regarding Lo-Mid-HI from 5,5,5, to 6,6,6. Map 5 is a power map for engines that have stock compression as mine does. I have zero motor work done just a Fuel Customs intake the exhaust and the Vortex x10 making the BIG3! You will require some form of high flow intake system because more air out needs more air in. I do not recommend the Fuel Customs intake only due to its design not its performance. Honestly the quad runs perfectly with this setup. Plenty of power with no popping, no bog and good MPG running 93 pump gas. Thanks for watching!

The Vortex install was the easiest out of all the upgrades so far. I'm currently running Map 5 - Lo-7 Mid-7 - High -6. Thanks for the comment!

@@350iroc9 that’s great, and those setting are working out pretty good?

@@abe3212 Yes those settings are working good but I really need to find a dyno tuner to be 100% confident these settings are correct. Reading a 4-stroke spark plug is not the same as a 2 stroke plug. Additionally when you use a high flow exhaust your always going to get a little bit of popping at times when decelerating. All in all though the Vortex is mandatory in my opinion for the 450.

No I'm not worried about punctures I'm worried about longevity. I will admit they are heavy. What is your favorite flavor of rubber?

@@350iroc9 ohh ok so are they all universal dont matter if its 2020 you could still buy older versions of yfz fenders and install on the 2020?

@@smuffing1 You can get any plastics from 2014 to 2021

That's a new one but can see where you would think that. LOL Thanks for the comment!

You guys are awesome! I actually asked Santa for the Precision Stabilizer and is why I didn't put the plastic back on. Great suggestion and hope to have this one on before New Years!!

I'm going to say it shouldn't of been included. There is no reason to have a hose of any kind unless you still have the AIS system intact?

I want to also say be careful and take your time installing a FCI intake system. It absolutely sucks to install properly. For piece of mind and ease of installation I 100% recommend removing the rear shock first! This will allow you to properly get your hands in there to insure the rubber boot is installed tight and right on the throttle body opening. After my first attempt to install the FCI I noticed that it became loose and that's when I decided to remove the rear shock and do it the right way. It since has never come loose again. I'll also caution you about the air sensor that mounts to the FCI. If you don't have it positioned correctly you can snap it off when putting your seat back on so please be aware and good luck brother!

@@350iroc9 lol yeah first time not sure how it will go but not trying to remove the shock since I never have

@@yahirbarragan6630 Its super easy to remove the rear shock. Plus it gives you the opportunity to lube up all the linkage bearings while its out. Again I highly recommend doing it this way. The last thing you want is an air leak because dirt and water will enter the motor. Without room to get your hands on things let alone see what your doing is a recipe for disaster bro.

@@350iroc9 thanks man I will try to do that just also got the vortex in today and running 91 octane what time should I use also what’s better was deciding on getting rossier or empire not sure which one ?

BIG 3 means - Intake , exhaust and a fuel management system upgrade. These 3 things alone will unlock your quads true potential as the factory intended. Because of EPA restrictions these quads are sent out in kitten mode but can be turned into a lion with the BIG 3!

@@350iroc9 I’m going to do these upgrades before I build the motor thanks a lot

Yes you can. They sell a no air box version also.

@@350iroc9 as long as im not in real dirty dusty areas i should be good?

@@350iroc9 and also another question can i only do full exhaust and fci

@@xopepa1978 You will also need to remove the AIS system with a block off plate and get a oil breather box. These are both available at 38 motorsports. If you decide to do the FCI and exhaust you will also need either a Vortex X10 or have your stock computer reprogrammed.

You certainly can but I would recommend the airbox version. The FCI airbox has no lid so it lets in plenty of air anyway. Additionally the airbox version also acts as a kind of support for the FCI. Lets say hypothetically if the FCI were to come loose from the throttle-body the airbox would prevent it from completely falling off. I've mentioned a few times now that when you go to install the FCI to do yourself a favor and remove the rear shock. This will allow you to get your eyes and hands in there to properly connect the FCI's rubber boot to the throttle-body. This little bit of extra time and effort is worth it 100%. The first time I installed the FCI I thought it was on there tight but it wasn't. Removing the rear shock is the only way to go and will insure its mounted tight and right!

Yes I did but my footage was corrupted by a hand held metal detector at the airport (thank you TSA!). This time I'll upload everything before entering the airport! I'm actually going back the 25th of this month for a week! We have 25 guys going this trip can't wait!!!
