MUZZYS Digi-Tune install KFX450R

P
Installing the MUZZYS Digi-Tune on a Kawasaki KFX450R







Remove the seat , Remove the side panels - 2 screws on fuel tank, 2 bolts on frame (located by upper mount for rear shock) , 2 bolts at front bottom corners,
     Remove 2 bolts holding fuel tank.
GENTLY pry up on fuel tank ( check and make sure you are not pinching plug wire) .
     Locate injector connector (grey connector w/ wht/rd, blu/ppl wires) and unplug connector ( they are hard to unlock and unplug) DO NOT
pull on wiring when unplugging.

Plug the connectors of the MUZZYS
Digi-Tune into each corresponding
connector end (we recommend using di-electric grease in connectors), loop unused wiring and secure under
fuel tank, where it will not interfere with anything.
    There is an existing ground on the frame next to the fuel tank mount
bolt hole, We shortened the ground wire and ran it there.

Start engine and make sure MUZZYS Digi-Tune lights up and scrolls the LED readout on startup.










     Pick where you want to mount the Digi-Tune and fit check to make sure there is no interference with parts that you have to reinstall ( seat covers, fuel tank) use Velcro attaching pad (self adhesive and supplied in kit) to locate the tuner . We placed ours on the upper rear shock mount.






     Reassemble Fuel tank and side covers ( use loctite blue on bolts and screws).
     Reinstall seat, test ride and adjust MUZZYS Digi-Tune if needed (using provided instructions).
For best results we recommend a MUZZYS Performance exhaust @ www.muzzys.com .

I was riding and it died .....

" A buddy of mine was riding it and said it just died" , That is how the conversation started. After going through the electrical / ignition system thoroughly and rebuilding the carb (was pretty dirty and accell. pump was plugged), still had the same issue.
I ran a compression test and UH-O.
So tore it down and found the piston cracked all the way across top and down sides, directly in line with the wrist pin.

Stay tuned for parts specs and reassembly !

When loading ........ BRAKES

Doing some maintenance and repairs on a customers outlanders. It seems that when loading
The big 500 someone missed the brake and rear ended the 400, pretty hard. 

We were able to fix the front end and straighten the bent parts back to stock position. For as bad as it looked, Surprisingly not too much damage. 
The customer was very happy with the end result .

JR50 going home.....

Got the resurrection of the JR50 completed. A fun little bike for sure. It is safe and ready for our customers kid #3 to take the bars. 
When they picked it up you could not wipe the smile off the little ones face , or get him off the seat  ! 
The smiles make it worthwhile for sure.

The front forks are blown out and full of water, it has a real bad oil leak from the oil injector , the foot peg/ kickstand assy. is loose and missing bolts, the carb is plugged up, the throttle is loose , and it needs a good clean up .

The BRUTE changes its spots ....

Stuck on Racing's Original mask

Stripped and cleaning up for the new masks

The new masks from STUCK ON RACING
     The new number plates and fender masks showed up from STUCK ON RACING last week
and I have been dying to see them on the BRUTE.























Many, Many thanks to:  Jeremy @ STUCK ON RACING ,  Brandon @ The MOTOSHOP, and Rob, Murray, and Tim @ MUZZYS.











    These are really thick, high quality masks and decals and are still a breeze to install. If you have any needs from the side of your hauler to number plates, Give STUCK ON RACING .com a shout they can handle all size projects.

Rich dropped off the fuel tank, and positioned it where it will mount, This thing is beauuutiful ! It really makes the whole thing pop !
