Yo Tyson150, i have the xcclerator pipe on my quad too and i did the samething as you. I had my quad brought into my dealer to have it jetted. Well you got lucky because mine cost $170.00 plus tax to have them buy the part and has them jet the carb. Also mine run really sweet too that why i said the hell with it! it done and run really sick. My friend who had his quad jetted the cheap way it does not run half as strong as my quad and everytime i ride with him i feel a ton better that i had mine jetted by the dealer. I'm sure i could have done it myself but i just wanted to be safe.

 

I don't think an hour to an hour and a half is unreasonable for jetting a single carb. Sure, all you whiz's out there can pop a main jet in a lot quicker, and that's fine but...a complete job you gotta test ride the thing first to see how it runs stock. Try to come up with a plan, or if a customer hasn't provided it, try to get some mfg. specs. Then you gotta do the work, which may include a needle replace or clip adjustment, then you gotta test it again, probably do a mixture and idle speed adjustment. And you may want to try something else, retest and so on. Generally the more testing, trial and error you do, the better it turns out. If the job turns out well, and is done professionally, those aren't bad prices.

 

the Dg instructions said to put in a 152 mainjet and remove the snorkel. The dealer said they switched the main jet, needle, airscrew, and all that other crap. And they had to ride it to make sure the jetting was right. so maybe they did take 1.30 hours, it runs awesome. Today i raced my brothers friend, also a 400ex(no lid), and smoked by like 3-4 lengths, .....its awesome

LOL my buddies 14 and did it in 11 mins

 

im sorry, thats just too funny. people pay over 100 dollars to have people jet their bikes... thats pathetic, im sorry. i had no clue how to do it, so i made a topic, got a manual and did it myself, my blaster runs great... oh yeah it only costed me 5 bucks...

 

also, jetting a 4 stroke is a lot easier than a 2-stroke. so....

 

most dealers have set prices for everything....depending on models, etc. and what they have to do...

the way to learn is rip into it and and do it and ask if you don't know how....

When i was roadracing motorcycles, I could remove the carbs on my cbr600, change jets or needle position and put back on in less than 20 minutes for the next races....luckily all 4 carbs are connected...lol

 

"but it runs really nicely....."

Sounds like you got a good deal to me. Isn't it great to get what you paid for. They jetted it correctly and it runs great.

You probably paid $25 for them to re-jet your carb, and $70 for knowing how to do it correctly and make it "run really nice......."

 

do you know anything??? i dont think so... its extremely easy to do it yourself, most of the time you only need to change the main, and mess with the needle. get a manual, and never pay the dealership to do anything for ur quad again...
