Default YFZ450 backfiring..Plz help

I have a 2004 YFZ450 that has been made into a CT 470 with a 13:1 piston. Put it in, re-jetted to a 45 Pilot 165 main. There is considerable valve noise, Bike is backfiring and won't idle. Will a valve adjustment cure this or is there another problem?

Valves could be out of whack, or it also sounds like it could be out of time.

I brought it to a shop. They said the valves have been adjusted and the timing is correct but it is still backfiring. They think it is running way to lean and are going to put a 50 pilot and 185 main...This sounds like alot...any help appreciated.

Running really lean would make it spit and sputter like you say, but I don't know why it would be making a lot of valve noise.

does it just backfire when you let off throttle? maybe one of the jets in the carb is clogged, what is the air/fuel screw set at? may be your ign box?

It has brand new jets in it..The air/fuel screw is 3 1/2 turns out...How can they check the CDI box?

the only way I know is plug a different one in. I have one you can borrow, if you can't figure out why it is backfiring and not running right. Also make sure the wires are plugged in that come out of the carb. your problem could be the TORs or TPS is not connected or out of adjustment.

You can by pass the TPS and see if that is your problem, or in the service manual it tells hou to adjust it.
