@@GonzaloAcosta-gp8eq thank you BTW! The graphics were a custom kit with name & racing numbers on the actual graphics. Wanted them for the team Can Am and Motoworks plus I’m running DynoJet parts so I like them. I was lucky enough to be able to get some Walsh LT MX a arms ordered so I’ll have that in a few weeks so I may put Fox floats on it since it has Fox in the graphics kit. So excited for the suspension!

It wont break though and thats all that matters, had to run my welder off 120vac in the backyard instead of 240vac that Im used too so it is what it is. I wrapped the whole header with wrap just now so you can't even see it. I was in a hurry, my 9 year old was ripping his kfx90 jumping practicing for a race this weekend and the can am has to be ready as well so I didnt have the time to make it look perfect. Its covered now anyways and the Autotune works flawlessly so I'm happy

@@michaelmangino9819 thank you and welcome to the OFFROAD-REVOLUTION community/channel!!!! ❤️✌️🤙 Glad to have you and thanks for the sub!!! The DS450 is my favorite quad by far and I raced a brand new 2009 DS450XMX back in the day so Can Am will always be special to me either way. Being back on this DS has lighted the fire 🔥 back up inside me at 35 years old and I was throwing no footers + hitting my double in 3rd gear harder than I’ve ever hit it so far basically landing to flat the other day. The Can Am is so light and those KYB’s work amazing so I didn’t even come close to bottoming out plus it was pretty smooth and didn’t beat me up hardly at all so I’m feeling better than ever on 4 wheels rn. I just upgraded to the Green fuel injector, and than today I took the header off to weld in a bung for a wide band o2 sensor and I am in the process of finishing up installing the autotune AT-200 from DynoJet that hooks up to my power commander 6 and tunes the quad itself off of the 02 and various other sensors to maintain the perfect air/fuel ratio ALL the time. It self adjusts for any mods you make to the quad as well so I should be done with fuel management for good after this is buttoned up. Next riding video will be testing the autotune and I cannot wait to see how it runs after this is done. Just have to connect the power wire to a switched 12vdc + source and it’s ready to start up.

There were recalls for the clutch, I believe some cooling hose/fittings, and the rest where updates the dealer would flash into your ECU right off the top of my head. That’s what I can recall from back in the day, I bought a brand new 2009 XMX I raced that had all the updates already done to it. My buddy bought a new 08 ds450 and dealt with the recalls, Can Am kept calling him until he brought it back to the dealer to get fixed. He experienced a noisy slipping clutch after a few hours but the recall totally fixes that issue so if the clutch feels good is probably been updated. Can am was really persistent about the recalls because they didn’t want anything out there to give them a bad name right off the start and wanted to make things right ASAP so the original owner would of had to refuse the free parts and labor to fix the quad and I doubt that happened so it’s more then likely fine. You can do a lot with them, the 08-09 have the pink wire you can just cut to unlock the race map/settings in the ECU so check and see if that’s already been done. If not you’ll be surprised with the difference just cutting the pink wire alone gives you with your current mods. They are awesome machines and my favorite 450 ❤

@@johnnysmith6516 thank you!!! It’s a blast for sure but gets old riding by myself after a little bit.

@@LuxkyStocks sounds good my friend, I had already planned on covering more of this Can Am as I make progress/more mods anyways since there isn’t many videos on these out there so it’s hard to learn ALL the little ins and outs if your just getting into the DS450 now. I know a lot about the Can Ams, bought a brand new 2009 DS450XMX as soon as it was available at a dealer near me in 09’, got the factory sponsorship deal with it and raced so a lot of the mods are things I ended up doing to my 2009 years ago racing AMA MX to squeeze everything I could out of it without tearing into the motor and it’s what most of the Pro national guys used on their machine’s for upgrades as well with motor work on top of that. I ended up getting a Wossner 12.5:1 compression piston, complete engine gasket/seal kit, exhaust cam for the intake side, and an NOS OEM STD bore cylinder with a couple other things for this 2015 so I will be doing some work to the engine in this one. I always wanted to see what the exhaust cam mod does plus a little higher compression piston so I can make a tune for 93 pump gas and a tube for 100+ octane race fuel. Planning on installing a map switch and hooking it up to the power commander 6 so I’m able to switch between the 2 maps with the flick of a switch on the handlebars. A friend bought a brand new 2008 DS450 so that’s where I seen my first DS450, after he had the recalls taken care of and uncorked it with a Motoworks pipe, filter and no airbox lid, cut pink wire, etc I took it for a rip and it was faster then my 07 TRX450ER I had at the time, noticeably lighter and the handling was impressive. After riding that 08 I made my mind up to buy a new 09 XMX and I’m really glad that I did and no regrets! These are great quads with a few upgrades, I have ridden pretty much every sport ATV made over the years and owned a bunch of different stuff and the Can Am always stands out as the best to me out of them all with a few mods. The DS450’s are pretty anemic in fully stock form, lack bottom end power most other brands have stock, and run more like a 2 stroke than a 4 stroke making the meat of the power at high RPM so a lot of people get turned off and think these are junk test riding a bone stock DS. Once you do the right mods and unlock beast mode the DS will walk all over other 450’s with the right rider on it all day. I get what Can Am was trying to do back in the day, they wanted smooth power delivery stock so the quad wasnt so intimidating for people on a lower skill level yet they wanted to have the best performing 450 at the same time so the performance is there, you just need to bring it all out.

@@alexischalifour3000 it was on the quad when I got it so who knows if it’s even still available? Not sure to be honest, the PO put the skid plates on this quad.

@@OFFROAD-REVOLUTION i got the plastic skid plate and one ride the skid plate was destroyed ahahahhaah. Thanks for your answer!

did you modify it?

@@simgagrimace34-wt9nb yes it is modified and not sure on the speed, I’d have to set up a GPS speed tracker to find out but either way it flies for a 90 with a 180lb adult on it and if I had to guess it feels like it does at least 35mph just guessing. They come with a factory speed limiting collar in the clutch assembly and it felt about half as fast as it is now before I removed the speed reducer ring/collar. I also added a big gun exhaust, open airbox lid with a Uni High Flow filter, and re-jetted the carb but it still needs to go up a little bit on the main jet as it’s a bit lean. After I get time to take the carb back apart and swap the main jet one last time it should be a little bit faster than it is in the video with a lot less backfiring, etc. That’s about it for performance mods other than widening the rear end to make it handle better and a couple other things like that.

@@OFFROAD-REVOLUTIONHow do you take the speed limiter off?

@@auggghhh-hu1nl They have been discontinued but there are some new old stock kits still out there. Get 2 NGK CR3 Race wires, those are the easiest to get right now but they normally used a CR3 and CR4, the CR4 has a 90 bend in the spark plug boot and the CR3 is a straight boot so that went on the inner plug and the 90 degree goes on the outer plug. Like I said 2 CR3 wires will work and that’s what’s on my quad in this video until the CR4 I ordered from Australia gets here to make it correct to the Pro setup we ran back in the day. The only downside with two straight boots is it hides the inner plug/race wire so it’s harder to tell it’s a dual plug setup whereas with the CR4 90 boot on the outer plug you can see both of the race wires and boots so the dual plug thing is more noticeable. It’s basically preference and what you can find as far as the race wires go and be careful for cheap fakes and repops, that stuff is junk and nowhere near as good as the legit NGK wires. The wires I got came in the original packaging with the correct stickers and I know they are 100% NGK wires because I ran these on my brand new 2009 when I raced it and installed the same wires back then as it was something I did to the 09’ XMX immediately with a bunch of other things including the motoworks sponsor package with free parts from the factory.

@@OFFROAD-REVOLUTION where did you get your wires from?

@@auggghhh-hu1nl eBay

Thanks!!! ❤ I’m pretty proud to be able to say I raced AMA MX on a brand new 2009 DS450XMX with the factory Can Am sponsorship program with free parts back in the day. Had so much fun on that 2009 so I am beyond stoked to finally have another DS450 as it’s my favorite sport ATV ever made! They are awesome and still relevant/competitive since they were ahead of their time, wish the manufacturers would start making new ones again other then a YFZ450R…

THANK YOU!!! I LOVE THIS QUAD, DEFINATELY MY FAVORITE MACHINE OF ALL TIME! HAD A BRAND NEW 2009 THAT I RACED AMA MOTOCROSS ON BACK IN THE DAY AND LOVE THEM BOTH! I SOLD MY 2009 AWHILE AGO SO IM HAPPY TO BE BACK ON A CAN AM!

You should still get another R and enjoy it as best as you can now whether it’s through riding or not! It would be nice for you to have one sitting in the garage that you could take out a couple times a year even just for a little nostalgia and trip down memory lane. I’ll always have machines until I’m 6ft under, it’s just in my blood and I couldn’t go without anything at all. I’m in my mid 30’s so I’m trying to enjoy the last 5 years or so that I’ll be able to ride hard so I’m nearly there. Even after I can’t push as fast anymore I’ll still ride, don’t care about getting slower, etc, all I care about is continuing riding as long as I possibly can. Maybe even grab a 4 stroke with E-start so all you have to do is sing your leg over the seat and hit the starter button and your off still riding and enjoying something your obviously still passionate about! Never too late!

I am actually starting to design a lot of parts and/or upgrades for dirt bikes, ATV’s, & 3 wheelers and have a few products prototyped, tested, and fine tuned ready to manufacture more. Definitely stay tuned because I will be uploading videos of my other parts in the near future plus I can easily work with someone that needs something I haven’t made yet to get their machine running properly. In the case of this Tri-Moto airbox for a customer I had to make it to get his trike fixed up and running properly. Tracking down 40 year old parts and having to piece a whole OEM airbox assembly together from used parts wasnt going to be exactly cheap or easy so I put my skills to work and made a direct replacement without snorkels and vented lid so it will flow better than stock too. I like challenges and building things you can’t get anymore to help people out with whatever bike they are running. I have my own powersports shop/business and this is part of it but I really haven’t brought this up on the channel yet so most probably don’t know that I work on EVERYTHING as well as ride.

Too much to list has been done to this one, had it down to the frame and did a nut and bolt resto mod. There are more videos of it on my second channel, @ATC REVOLUTION , you can see all the things I've done throughout the different videos along the way.

@@OFFROAD-REVOLUTION I'll check it out but the bike is sick man

@@bombshellgaming6820 Thank you!!! SOOOOO MUCH WORK went into this 350x to get it to this point and how I do appreciate it!!! I have other gems 💎 as well I plan on riding for the channel aside from this X so stay tuned! If you have any specific questions about mods or a certain part, etc I can gladly answer you but unfortunately I didn’t make up a build sheet for this one. I built it over a 6-8mo period while in the process of moving at one point so I really didn’t have the time I would have liked to document it more and never got around to it since lol.

I am incapable of giving up lol, this is what I live for besides family and friends. I've been riding a little of everything for 30 years and am a Vet at this point, raced 450cc AMA motocross in the past, as well as made a name for myself locally for going above and beyond making new free riding lines, jumps, hill climbs, etc being fearless and usually the first or only person to do a lot of things others couldn't do. Grew up in a rural area with dozens of abandoned strip mines all around my house so I played in the coal hills, spoil piles, and huge near vertical high wall hill climbs as well as trails and XC type of riding on basically 2, 3, and 4 wheels at some point every second I could. The mines were reclaimed in the 2010's and erased from earth so I don't have all the unbelievably awesome places to go and rip anymore with the HUGE stuff and options are very limited/lame nowadays. I'll never stop riding though either way, even if I have to build my own red bull imagination course around my house to ride like I truly want too lol. I learned to ride on a 79' Honda ATC110 3 wheeler and got that when i turned 4 so I am very comfortable on 3 wheels to say the least and can easily say I have the most fun on them. Thanks for the comment and words of encouragement!

My 2022 does the same thing when the chain starts to get on the loose side but still within spec. The stock case saver and front chain guard suck too, the design just traps in mud and rocks which wears the chain out even quicker. Went to an aftermarket case saver/guard and it’s about 50% better but still fills up with mud after enough riding. The Kawi’s are notorious for that chatter regardless of chain or sprockets… The chatter comes from the chain roller mostly btw…

That’s about the only thing that does bother me about the bike so I may swap out the bottom roller for an aftermarket round one instead of the stock design that has the gear ⚙️ shape instead of the standard round roller. It seems like the chattering noise comes from that roller when the chain isn’t on the tight side. Experienced it on both my 2022 and this 2023 SR so I guess everyone deals with it for the most part but I’d like to see if a round roller reduces the chattering. Nothing like riding by people on a brand new bike with it making noises like that from the chain/roller lol 😂

Yep same with my 22,will try bottom roller also & was recommended to get higher quality chain as it will chop out sprockets quick, followed your lead with the vortex & full Ti6 exhaust what a difference night & day. Mines only a f version no sr unfortunately

The list is pretty extensive to say the least lmao 😂. This looked nothing like it does now when I got it and it had a pretty hard life before I ended up with it so that’s why I went custom on this one as much as possible for a rider basically. Frame was cracked in the typical spots at the rear near the grab bar on both sides nearly broken clean off, both foot pegs where busted off at one point and bubble gummed back on, the forks where completely blown out, 3 days after I bought it I left for like the second ride on it and 5 minutes after I left it locked up on me in 6th gear on pavement.. All the rod bearings and part of the connecting rod blew out into the bottom end and destroyed all the cases so that was horrible.. I had to go through the whole thing down to every last nut and bolt, gusseted the frame, fixed the peg mounts as best as possible, and on and on, it needed A LOT of TLC but it was all totally worth it!

The thing hauls ass though with the NOS 86 engine, Rick’s hot shot CDI, aluminum airbox and Uni filter, full supertrapp exhaust with the open ended trapp cap, and jetted to perfection with an Easy Push Bullet Thumb Throttle and the flex bars, pro taper clutch perch, shorty levers, Rob Wicks/WMD foot pegs, BVC seat pan bracket and drilled pegs with cotter pins to hold the plastics on, skid plates from Noah Olson, Douglas 10” front wheel and beadlock rear Douglas wheels with 21” up front and 18”’s on the rear, extended rear axle, custom built forks with progressive springs, spring spacers, 20W fork oil, etc tuned to work as best as OEM possibly can be more or less without going to billet triple clamps and inverted forks, and a lot of other miscellaneous parts and pieces.

I can’t remember the difference in the size of each headpipe to be honest, I put the exhaust on back in 2022. I’ll try to find the stock exhaust to compare it to the big gun and then let you know. I do remember when I put it on it seemed like it was made to fit multiple different machines and there was room to adjust where the silencer is at on the frame so it would probably work if it looks the same in diagrams. The exhaust system improved the power quite a bit and the header is a nice mandrel bent piece. I removed the snorkel from the air box lid so it’s vented a lot and I’m running a uni filter and did the jetting but it needs a little bigger main jet still so I need to do that soon.

Every 5-10 hours the Oil/filter gets changed since I broken in the engine fully. I only use "Kawasaki" Full Synthetic 4-stroke motor oil + OEM filter. I change my oil, clean/oil the air filter pretty often since conditions can be extremely dusty in my area and I want this bike to last a long time.

Thank you!!!!

Cold starts were horrible the first few initial start ups after the install. I ended up doing the homing procedure for the throttle fully closed to WOT and that helped but it gets better the more it runs and the ECU has time to learn all of the sensors, etc. I was a bit discouraged at first but I have worked as an industrial CNC electrician and robotics for years in the past as well as having my own Powersports repair business so I just gave it a little time and then the start ups are easier then with the OEM ECU now. Another thing that REALLY helps with these Kawasaki’s no matter what ECU your running is to cycle the fuel pump before starting, tap the start button for a second and let go and you will hear the fuel pump turn on and prime the system. Try just bumping the start button real quick without firing the machine up, let the fuel pump run until you hear it stop, then hold in the start button until it fires up and it may be all you need to do to help fix that issue. If not try the throttle homing procedure, then cycle the fuel pump, then start. Also there is a manual choke on the throttle body you can pull out, I haven’t had to use that much at all but it may help with starting as well. From what I’ve seen the rough starting is pretty common with a fresh Vortex and I didn’t really get too concerned over it because the more I rode it the more things sorted themselves out until it just works perfectly for cold starts. To home the throttle you need to pull the clutch in, have it in neutral, hold down the killswitch button will simultaneously holding down the start button with the throttle fully closed and then as it is cranking open the throttle ALL the way open until it stops for a sec and then let it return to closed, then let off of the stop/start buttons. Then cycle the pump, and try to start after homing the throttle positions. The ECU will figure out the throttle limits by just riding the bike but the proper way is to do it like I just explained about before riding.

@@OFFROAD-REVOLUTION did tps reset , warm engine great was with the choke/fast idle pulled. Sent it back to the tuner to get looked over/reflashed

@@edsimon3754 yeah that usually works out so if you have tried EVERYTHING already it could be an issue with the ECU itself. The ECU paired with this 2022 KX450 pretty easily, only the first 3-4 start ups where a bit off so then I repeated the TPS homing and that pretty much did the trick after a good ride. I had to adjust some of the slack out of my throttle cables as well and that helped with idling. I set it for minimal play before the throttle body starts opening and made sure it closes all the way, for whatever reason there was a lot of slack in the cables from the factory. I even took this Vortex and put it in my 2023 KX450SR, turned all the fuel trims up to 9 on the hottest tune and that thing fired right up and ran great but it performs better with the SR ECU so I went back to that. I will have to send the ECU back and have them load the 2023 KX450SR tunes in the ECU for it to make any improvements in my newer bike. This is a build I did with a brand new basic 22’ motocross 450 and put all the custom stuff on it to make it close to a factory edition and handle Offroad and MX no problem at all. I have cooling fans and coolant reservoir bottles on both bikes with engine ICE 🧊 and I can trail ride all day without overheating and constantly loosing coolant. These bikes are awesome with the right parts on them, the factory edition is pretty much perfect other then the cooling, I have a pro circuit billet water pump and super impeller, with silicone hoses, and temp gauge radiator cap on that as well so I can monitor the temp while riding and they have been holding up amazing. The works Radiator braces hold it more heat so the universal cooling fan kit and coolant overflow, etc, was a must after putting the braces on. It would still overheat before but the braces definitely makes it hold more heat so it happens faster when on slow technical trails. Now I don’t have to worry about any of that and the Vortex is a must on the stock bikes for sure so I hope you get it working!!!

@@edsimon3754 I never had to use the choke hardly at all, I can only remember two times using it and that was after I got the bike just to try it out and it made it harder to start and ran a lot worse when it did so I have just been ignoring the choke, cycling the fuel pump once and it lights right up as soon as I hit the start button the second time. The second time I used the choke was over winter when the battery was a bit weak, it started fine with the choke when it was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit that one time but other then that I have keep battery tenders on them all since so never had that problem again. Seems like the choke is only really necessary/useful for winter COLD weather startups being fuel injected so that would a last resort thing for me. It’s got to be an issue with the tunes or ECU, that’s really unfortunate and I hope you didn’t wait over 8 months to get the ECU like me because that is awful if you had to wait all that time for an ECU that wouldn’t work… I hope the lead time for a reflash isn’t that horrible, that’s why I haven’t sent mine back yet to get the SR tunes because I’m worried it will take a year even though they claim it is a quick service on the website..

No sir, I have been riding for 30 years exactly. I started riding at 4 years old on a Honda ATC110 Three Wheeler with no suspension 😂. My dad told me if I can master that I can ride anything and that more or less was correct, I was on a 1996 300ex at 6 years old and dedicated all my free time to getting better. I ended up having a dirt bike, quad, and three wheeler all at the same time when I was young so I didn’t stick to one machine. I put time in on everything to help shape me into the Vet that I am today. I raced 450cc MX as well on a Can Am DS450xMx for a few years before my son was born and riding in general has been my life forever, I live for it! I’m not 18 anymore and have acquired a level of patience so with the brand new bike nowadays I actually do the break in process and take it somewhat easy until it is broken fully. Plus I have neighbors beside me and hearing a 450 off the pipe non-stop upsets them apparently so I have to hold back on my property so I can ride longer then 2 minutes without people getting rubbed the wrong way… You have to maintain respect for other people in this day and age with very little places to go compared to what there used to be or it just ruins things for people with common sense just trying to get from one trail to the next. If I went full bore around my property for longer then 10 minutes I would have 2 if not 3 different people calling the cops on me for riding my bike on my own land… I’ve had one officer stop at my place to tell me about the neighbors blowing up the phone calling in about me riding and he was super cool and just said, “ I really don’t want to be here right now (because it was a waste of time) but we got several calls so that left me with no choice other then to at least make an appearance at my place to please the neighbors that called them. Then he explained that I wasn’t doing anything wrong, some of my neighbors moved here from a gated community with very strict ordinances and rules, no riding or loud sounds, etc and then try to pressure me into acting like the neighborhood has the same rules as the gated community so it’s a problem with them, not me.. In rural areas it’s normal for people to ride, etc as much as they want without worrying about Karen neighbors but unfortunately I am lucky enough to have a few of them around me that hate seeing other people enjoy themselves.

I had to rewatch this to see what you’re talking about but no it picks right up nice and clean with the Vortex ECU so I think it’s just how the audio came out in the video. The throttle response is much better than with the OEM ECU for sure.

@@OFFROAD-REVOLUTION awesome, thanks for the reply 🤙

I know, I still get asked that question eventually of if I don’t bring it up so that’s it.

I leave the white coupler on at all times because that is the only one I need if I have to go back to the stock ECU, etc.
