2008 WR450F with 2006 YZ suspension and cams

[FORMA MOTO]

I'm not. The SSS fork on YZ's is an MX setup, and they take a bit more than the usual shim shuffle to get them to work well in an intense off-road environment. A lot of tuners aren't really tuned in to the differences that well, with as much focus as there is on MX in the dirt bike world in general. Can be done, though.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the factory has done with them on the '12 WR.

I had my Showa guy work on the KYB's. I'm gonna take them to a more experienced KYB guy next.

I'll look through my notes and see what my jetting is.

I bet you're right about the igniton box though.

Too bad a buddy doesn't own a WR so you could borrow a box from him.

According to Yam, the '08-10 is different from the '07.

Who is this, Steve??

According to Yam, the '08-10 is different from the '07.

Both the '07 and '08 list the CDI as the same #5TJ-85540-E0-00 at Yamaha's web site.

I stand (sit) corrected.

OK, yes I remember.

Let's hope it does not come down to that........and thank you.

No problem.. Just let me know..

My 08 WR450 has a Dr. D pipe and a YZ exhaust cam.

It's been uncorked and has a Merge adjustable leak jet and fuel screw.

I'm using the NCVS needle which is pretty close to yours, and it's still way too rich.

I'm going to try the stock '08 YZ needle, the NFLR, next.

....back to the suspension guru it goes....

[KennyMc]

My 08 WR with YZ cams pulls hard right from idle.

Best motor I have ever owned.

There has to be something not right on your bike somewhere.

Yeah, he rode mine and said mine was faster ?

[FORMA MOTO]

....and the plot thickens. I had another tuner ride the bike to get his impression, and his immediate response was " that doesn't feel like a jetting problem, it feels like an ignition advance problem.... the power delivery is very soft until 5-6k, then WHAM it comes into some serious power"...

I'm going to finish setting the TPS and see what happens...and go from there.

I might be buying one of these....

[Derwud]

Do you want to try mine before you spend the money!

[beezer]

I'd just find a box on eBay.

[KennyMc]

I would take Derwud up on his offer Bill. He's not that far from you....

I'm going to test the TPS first.

I am going away for the weekend. If you want, I can go remove mine and leave it on the porch or you can come get my whole bike Friday night before we head out... I wanna see you beat this problem..

[SurfaceToAir]

Looking forward to the TPS report -

Sounds like a big PITA.

cheers-
