FuelATV Intake Install Part 2 - Kawasaki KFX450 Forum

Rogue1970 · 09-15-2007, 02:19 PM

Continued from Part 1

Intake bracket set into place. Notice it goes over the plastic towards the rear of the quad

Make sure you install the air temperature sensor into this bracket before final installation. Remember this sensor only measures the air temperature, not the air flow, so having it installed next to the air filter works just fine. I put a little dielectric grease to the connection to keep out water/dirt/sand

The new intake tube will curve around the top of the rear shock

You want to adjust the new intake tube so it does not contact the rear shock. There should be about a 1/4" gap once adjusted correctly

With the new intake bracket bolted down, verify that the new intake tube is not contacting the top of the rear shock.

10/29/2007 - Updated intake bracket design

Now verify everything is installed correctly and tightened up. Here are a few shots of the final install

END

I hope that these pictures will help anybody else installing this intake. Use these along with the the instructions included from FuelATV and it should be an easy install.

Remember, install a new FI map that reflect your modifications.

Have fun and enjoy!

<UPDATE. FuelATV updated the intake bracket design, so no modification of your seat pan is required. I've removed the section about modifying your seat pan and added a couple updated pics.>

WOW! That looks real nice...I should be getting mine in a week or so.
Did he send you a new map? Or you got a custom one? I'd like to have it if you don't mind.

Nope, don't have a map yet. I started it up and blipped the engine a few times but that is it.

I will need a map in the next few weeks as I'm planning a Glamis trip 9/28-9/30

You should use MSPaint or some sort of program to diagram what screws are what.. A farely new person to the atv world might unscrew the wrong thing on accident

That is a great idea, but only if I reinstall the stock intake at some point. Once you start removing the intake bolts, it is pretty straight forward on what you have to remove.

Installing my IMS fuel tank... now that one should of had more instructions

First time I had that front plastics off around the tank. Again, take your time and it all comes out great!
