I picked up a Factory Pro Jet Kit from www.factorypro.com
They are a little pricey but WELL WORTH IT! My buddy highly recommended them and I do too now. Im not sure about all kits, but on my YFZ450 it was a little more than a simple jet kit. I had to drill my factory MAJ and add another MAJ (Main Air Jet). It was incredible and comes with everything you need. It uses the same jet sizes as the GYTR kit however you dont need as large of jets because of the MAJ modification. INCREDIBLE KIT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Now with the new, even cleaner running, patented
This yzf450 carb recal kit was designed with as much care and attention to detail as we give to our EC997 dynamometer and test routines, our Shift STAR shift improvement kits, our Billet Engine Covers and all of the other products that the quickest road racers in the USA and World used to collect a total of 9 WERA and F-USA national Championships - along with the Suzuki Cup World Champion, Rob Jensen. We've now entered the off-road arena to bring some new, exciting, well proven concepts, such as our easily tuneable "HDJ" style jet kits and several other things that we've picked up along the way. One of the improvements was dyne
systems design and test routine design - We have been saying for years
that inertia dynos were misleading and now, these new "HDJ" carb kits
show how much better the EC997
load dynos are than inertia
dynos when it comes to developing any performance products. Sounds
a bit egotistical? Perhaps it sounds that way - but, I think that we've
got quite a few local Norcal racers that we've done FCR fine tuning
work for that would agree with us. Figure better hot starts, better throttle response, less bogging and the Factory Pro bonus - 4% to 7% power improvement, pretty much everywhere The Factory Pro HDJ kits, designed by Marc Salvisberg, will run more evenly over a wider temperature and altitude range than any other carb kit and will produce 3% to 8% better power than another carb with the "best main jet" in it, when properly tuned and tested under a real load. This does not mean an inertia dyno - though, power will be better with a dealership level dyno, also. So - Here's the power - Buy it! Thanks! 800 869-0497

![]() EVO Shift STAR kit We all know that the easier the bike's systems work, the faster the rider is, less tiring it is and the more fun it is to ride. Marc Salvisberg of Factory Pro has been "blueprinting" transmissions for years - learning the ins and outs of shimming, alignment, clearancing, gear engagement and shift mechanisms. He's been one of the sources of information for why many of the newer bikes shifting better than the "old days". Some factory roadrace teams bought our kits and then supplied that information back to the OEMs - and - in a year or two, shift mechanisms were better on the new bikes. Factory Pro has painstakingly and meticulously developed a new off road Shift STAR along with a new competition detent spring and microbearinged Detent arm kit that will make both up shifting an downshifting much more precise and effortless - and virtually eliminate missed shifts. You'll think that you have a new bike. Sound like what you want?? Tested by Ty Davis / Ziptie Racing |

Factory Pro's patented HDJ MAJ installation for crf / wr / yfz Keihin FCR carbs |
|
|
Where's my main air jet and what do I do with that drill bit and tap that came in my Factory Pro HDJ kit for my Keihin FCR carb?
First step is to eliminate the fixed main air
jet restriction. Remove the stock emulsion tube (that's what the main jet screws into) so that you can clean out the carb well. By only having 45mm to 46mm of the drill bit exposed, it prevents you from drilling too far. Then, use the supplied tap from our HDJ
carb kit, thread the Main Air Jet (aka "MAJ") hole. Clean the hole, of course. After it's clean, complete the MAJ Modification by installing the supplied Main Air Jet and installing the new Factory Pro HDJ Emulsion Tube. NOTE!!! This modification is something similar to
what we've done in many different carb types over the years, though
it might be new to some who haven't used our "1.7-RK" carb kits before. |

Remove the clutch cover. | Remove the clutch
assembly (use your shop manual) |
|
|
Remove the little top hat collar and don't lose it. | |
|
|
Pinch the pawls together and gently remove the pawl holder. Hold around the outside so the pawls, springs and plungers stay together. | |
|
|
Turn the star till it reaches
the stop (it's either 6th or 1st gear). Turn the clutch shaft to get
it to go into the "next" gear. Unscrew the center stud - it takes a deep 12mm socket.
|
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use a 10mm socket and remove
the 6mm pivot bolt for the stock detent arm.
|
|
|
|
This is what comes out. You will replace the detent arm and the spring with new Factory Pro parts. |
|
|
|
Put in the new Factory Pro
Microbearing Detent Arm and new heavier duty spring. A good hint is to Loctite the pivot bolt with Blue Loctite. Not absolutely required, but a nice touch. |
|
|
|
Lever the arm out and slip in...... | |
|
|
the new Factory Pro Detent STAR. Install the center stud. | |
|
|
There's the new detent arm and the new preproduction detent STAR. | |
|
|
|
Here's how the shift pawl holder
is assembled. These are the spring loaded plungers. |
|
|
|
Next, install the pawls. |
|
|
Squeeze the pawls in and slip into the ID of the Detent STAR. |

The extension of the laboratory for engines of the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed in about 1935.
Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940). He had a
successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after the
advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar to
that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in
normal use but well preserved. Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock. |
