FMF Powercore 4 on TE 449

WOW! Do it. Love mine. Lots more bottom and mid. Nice investment to make a great bike greater.

I agree. Not only does it give it more punch it just sounds bad ass, imo.

What about the soundlevel ? Louder then the standard?

It is louder. It's pretty close to the stock muffler with the "DB killer" removed. One really nice side benefit is the fact that it stays a lot cooler than the stock unit.

Guys, i have a pipe on my TE511 and it was running perfect after the idle screw tweak, or so i thought. Last night i added a JD X6 Tuner to sort the wiring and base map for JD. I was installing it thinking why? Had to keep telling myself it was for my customers as i sure don't need it. At first it did not feel like it did a ton but ran better right away. Just smoother and perfecter. More perfect? Anyway, I mounted it to my handlbars and was jetting at stop lights and while riding!!! I ended up richer on everything and WAY richer on the top setting as it feels flat up there. Result? You know how much power that pipe you just installed added? This adds that much more. No shit. And it runs better over all. The roll on power is nothing sort of stunning. 55 mph wheelies are right there. lighting up the back tire at will in any gear on gravel. Instant throttle response and impossible to stall. I have never ridden a better running bike. the down side is that it went from a docile kitten of a EZ to ride bike to a fire breathing KX450 type gig. I like it but some people who want a tame trail bike (like it is stock) might not. Absolutely RIPS and runs perfect. No popping ever. No EFI glitch AT ALL. Perfecter.

Oh Jeez, Kelly always figgers out more ways to separate me from my money!

Like i said and you know, it does not "need" it but WOW does it add some performance.

I agree Kelly.

I would not be interested in changing my TE511 into a KX450 style power as I love my trail bike.

However, I am curious what change to Fuel Consumption and Starting, Hot or Cold ?

 

[Motosportz]

have not checked mileage yet. starting is better, starts quicker. idles perfect, way more snap off the bottom and way more roll on power and mid hit with more rev. I was shocked the differences in power. The bike, even running seemingly perfect is lean.

I guess it will have similar effect on TE449 ?

IMO the TE449 could use a little more bottom end.

I am considering a 2012 model upgade at the moment mainly because it is 20mm lower in the seat and I am stuggling a little with the seat height at the moment.

 

[Motosportz]

I don't see why not same motor only 30cc less. I bet you could order the progressive spring from the 2012 and get the lower height.

Good Point.

Where can you buy the JD tuner?

I've been waiting for awhile now for something to be available...
