I have a '98 Forman 450 and recently installed a K&N air filter. I thought that the K&N power kit was expensie, so I wanted to know:

1. What is the stock Jet size?

2. What size should I up the jets to to match my K&N filter and half shot stock muffler?

Does upping the jets make the quad much harder on gas?

JUST WONDERING
* WHY DID YOU GET A POWER-UP KIT
* WHATS A HALF STOCK MUFFLER
* ON YOU JETS YOU GO BY THE CLIMATE YOU ARE RIDING IN THE FINE TUNE YOUR FUEL MIXTURE SCREW
* MOST OF THE TIME IF ITS NOT A STOCK MUFFLER ITS CONSIDERED ADDING A PERFORMANCE EXHAUST DO
TO THE RESTRICTION OF BACK PRESSURE

TO ANSWER YOUR ? YES IT WILL BE HARDER ON GAS

Well, the K&N filter was $50 and the full performance kit was $260, and at the time (about 2 years ago) I was in school and I didn't have the extra $210.

My exhaust is stock, but pretty well shot, (read: pretty loud, probably not very restrictive), so it would almost be classed as a performance muffler. (It will eventually be replaced by a White Bros. or FMF anyway)

I live at sea level, an dwould like to know if I should up the jets or leave it alone.

I was just curious about the gas milage, not exactly a big concern for me!!
