  • Rev problem on my Suzuki LTR 450. I've been having this problem since I bought it second hand just over a year back. It's got a stage 2 intake hot cam in it, cherrybom and airbox open. I've adjusted the TPS sensor according to specs, valve clearance checked and in spec, fuel injector cleaned and tested. Why would it only do this sometime?
    I'm losing time in my races in the pits when I'm switching the quad off to refuel and having this issue when I'm starting it again.
    So here is what the problem was and how I fixed it...
    First I checked my throttle body butterfly valve as the previous owner had a hand adjusting screw on it. I closed the butterfly valve completely and turned the screw just touching the valve and keeping it completely closed.
    Then I adjusted the TPS sensor again to spec at 0.6 V.
    Then I checked my idling air screw... It was turned out 3.5 turns. The manual spec is 1 5/8 turns out, which means mine was way too lean with the throttle body valve also a bit open. So I adjusted the idle air screw 1 5/8 turns open, started the quad and what do you know... it started easier, sound smoother, revs up with no issue and the abnormal backfire is also gone, just popping now and then on deceleration.
    It's been 2 months since I fixed it and had no starting, rev or stalling issues. Seems like such a small thing that fixed about a years struggling with it.
    Hope this could help some of you out there with the same problem.

    My bike is having a similar problem, it keeping back firing and bogging when I get it running changed the carb and spark plug, still doing the same thing but sounds a lot better and when I rev it high that’s when it wants to bog and rev any help or advice would be great

      @racermac1081  Před rokem

      If you have an aftermarket exhaust on, then it most probably is too lean, especially on high revs. Just try bigger jets first and see if it helps. Also the fuel filter needs to be changed very often

    • @racermac1081
      @racermac1081  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, I adjusted the air screw at the throttle body to spec 1 1/2 turns open. I was almost 3 turns open. Far too lean for idle. I think it had something to do with CDI, cause it would go into safe mode and then would not rev. After adjusting the air screw it did not happen again.

      Thanks for the advice, I fixed the problem about 2 months back. It had nothing to do with the fuel, but everything with the amount of air going into the engine.

      @baleycasady7438 Yes, he's right to never adjust that throttle body screw, but I bought mine from the previous owner that had an adjusting screw on that one that should not be adjusted, so I took that out and adjusted it to spec with lock nut. The brass one is the air idle screw and if I can remember correctly, it should be around 1 and 5/8 turns out from completely closed
