    Shouldn't need anything bigger than a 48 at the most...usually a 45 works great with the 450R's.

    Make sure the passageway between the pilot/fuel screw and the venturi is open and clean.

    What needle are you using? My 450x is running a stage 2 and a 13:0-1 piston and I'm only running a 172 main JD red needle and a 45 pilot and it flys with that set up

    Killing the engine at a certain RPM and immediately pulling the plug to see it's condition.

    Riding wide open to see what the plug looks like won't work if the bike idles back to the truck afterwards...
