Suzuki LTZ400 - Keihin FCR39 First Ride

[@TerrellSpivey]

Niiice!! Don't you just love the chirping sound and the immediate throttle response!! I just installed mines from Jet Labs Saturday and man do I love it!

[@PatrickRiggs33]

Terrell I thought I was the only one who liked that sound! LOL. Good deal, Danny does a good job with them, crazy how he has them pretty much dialed right out of the box.

[@TerrellSpivey]

@@PatrickRiggs33 haha! The crazy thing is, it wasnt until I got this fcr carb that I realized where that cool sound came from that I'd hear on dirt bikes and 450s! Lol just the sound alone make ya feel like you got some power! Lollol and yeaaaah the only thing I had to do is idle it down a tiny bit! And I mean it fires right on up everytime at the push of the button no hesitation! Love it! I dont have a go pro but I hope to use my tripod to get just a few clips riding around some of the fields near the house if it dont rain tomorrow!

[@PatrickRiggs33]

@@TerrellSpivey Yep I hear ya! That FCR sound is addictive. Even my buddies old kx250f sounded good at idle or putting around through the parking lot. That flat side just sounds sweet when its wide open! Sounds good set something up and get some cool shots 🤙

[@TerrellSpivey]

@@PatrickRiggs33 oh word! That's what's up! I actually found your video on the z400 fbpage under Kyle Propers fcr post! So I'm guessing you're a member of that page too! Idk if you've seen this video of mines on there before, but this is some shots of me riding with the tm40 flatslide carb. It has much better throttle response than The stock carb, but its nothing like the fcr! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGm0g6qfrKpkbtU

@@TerrellSpivey Just got done watching. Super cool, what a cool place to ride. She sounds healthy! Eventually I will have to start venturing out of FL to some more places. Hear nothing but cool things about Durhamtown.

[@zukiryder4006]

That thing sounds like it pulls pretty dam good, I just ordered a TM36 Pumper for my 400 and I honestly can’t wait to get it on and go for a rip! The BSR just feels mushy, especially pinning it in 3rd or 2nd trying to get up and going. My thoughts are since I have a set of Stage 1 hotcams, go with a stock size venturi pumper carb, slap a higher compression piston in there and call it good. I have a feeling those two things alone will level out the power nicely and make it pull EVERYWHERE. And…. Im kinda jealous of your quad a little bit…. lol!!

Can you tell the difference

[@PatrickRiggs33]

Yes big difference

Is your quad stock

[@PatrickRiggs33]

The engine internally is all stock. But no my quad overall is far from stock.

Did that intake whistle come from putting in the FCR or was that there before, been binge watching your vids and this is the first I've noticed it, sounds wonderful though!

[@PatrickRiggs33]

Yep comes from the FCR and the flat slide that raises up and down 👍👍

cool man . make some more 250r videos

Can't remember. This was 3 years ago on a stock bore engine.

[@jorgemendes7520]

Man, you get a new subscriber. I really like your Z400. I have one myself and am thinking of changing the carburetor as well. Can you give feedback? It's good? Worth the investment? I already saw that I will need the YFZ450 cable. But can I use with universal thumb throttle? Or does it have to be specific?

[@PatrickRiggs33]

Hey Jorge, thanks for subscribing! Thank you very much, it's a solid machine. The FCR is totally worth it, and an excellent stepping stone if you have future plans for a big bore, cams, etc... I would only do it if you plan on keeping the Z400. If you have an itch to get rid of it for a 450 then don't do it. It's a simple swap, I recommend Jet Lab carbs. Danny will set it up however you want. You will need a YFZ Cable and a Honda or Yamaha threaded style thumb throttle housing. I used a 400ex one, I'm on an Urmosi now 😎

[@jorgemendes7520]

@@PatrickRiggs33 I have the bike for about a year, it always stopped, because I don't have much time to ride. I am thinking of preparing a little more than usual. Arms, suspension, and a little bit of engine. The carburetor is not for now , it is to be done over time. I'm also not thinking of selling the bike, at least until I know how to ride 100%.

I have a Yoshimura exhaust, what mods will make it sound better and louder and steady. It growls on the low end but when I am ripping it in the high rpm’s it kinda sounds weaker. But sounds good on the road

[@PatrickRiggs33]

Sounds to me like you just need to fatten her up some. Get yourself the Dynojet Kit and follow the instructions for your mods it will help 👍

[@Cantguardme-gx7qm]

@@PatrickRiggs33 could I send you a vid of the quad

[@Giovanni-jn1nx]

Hey Patrick I have a question how much more power do you feel with the fcr carb and where did you get it ?

[@PatrickRiggs33]

A pretty good amount, it's much more responsive. I get them from Danny at Jet Lab carbs.

[@Raiseitupju]

Can you send me the link to this carb and do I need to do anything to it or shuts out the carb in

[@PatrickRiggs33]

Reach out to Danny at Jet Lab Carbs and tell him I sent you. Use his Facebook page to contact him. 👍

[@youngscumbag4111]

Nice

[@loganmiller8120]

I am looking into buying a LTZ400 and just wondering do you prefer the carb models over the FI? If you could do it over do you wish you would have gotten an 09+?

[@PatrickRiggs33]

Excellent question. I had an 06' LTR450 which was EFI and I loved it. However in the Z400 the carb models are the way to go. They are lighter, the FCR carb mod will make them way more responsive than the EFI Models, and I feel like they are better supported in the aftermarket vs. the EFI Models.

Nope you will be fine 👍

[@billymadison527]

Im looking to put a FCR39 on my ltz 400 also. How much did it cost you if you dont mind me asking?

[@PatrickRiggs33]

I want to say it was around $450 all in. You can piece one together cheaper yourself but I wanted it new and setup out of the box.

[@billymadison527]

@@PatrickRiggs33 Thanks for the reply! I would like to buy new and have it ready to go as well did it bolt right on or did you have to modify anything?

[@PatrickRiggs33]

@@billymadison527 No modifications. Just call him and let him know your setup. The only thing I would buy separate is a carbed YFZ450 Cable (04-08) and a Honda thumb throttle off any Honda sport quad (90, 250, 300, 400, 450).
