INSTALLATION DUNCAN RACING
INSTRUCTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
FAT BOY 4 COMPLETE EXHAUST SYSTEM

MODEL: Honda TRX 250EX


1.Remove stock exhaust system; Retain stock head nuts.

2.Before starting your Fat Boy 4 installation. You must make sure that the cylinder head exhaust gasket is intact and in good condition (usually they stay in the cylinder head). Under normal conditions it is OK to reuse them. If it is missing or in need of replacement it may be purchased from your Honda Dealer Part # 18291-MN5-650. DO NOT RUN MACHINE WITHOUT EXHAUST GASKETS. It is also a good idea to make sure that the (2) exhaust studs mounted in cylinder head are in good shape. If there is any doubt of their condition. Replace with new from your Honda dealer.

3.Install Fat Boy 4 header pipe using stock oem head nuts. Do not secure header at this time. Leave nuts a few turns loose.

4.You are now ready to install the Fat Boy 4 muffler/tail section. The tail section is secured to the Fat Boy 4 muffler at the factory before shipping. If these (4) 6mm stainless button head allen screws are ever loosened or removed they must be reinstalled with some form of medium strength thread lock (recommended Loctite 242 Blue).
Before sliding tail section onto header it is recommended to apply a thin coat of hi-temp silicone to the inside of the tail section (female side) approximately covering about ½” of the initial part of the tail pipe. This will keep exhaust from leaking at the slip-fit joint and make removing pipe in future easier.

5.Install the (2) muffler mount bolts going into sub-frame and tighten securely.

6.Tighten header pipe. Make sure to tighten header nuts evenly.

7.AIR INDUCTION: For maximum performance DRI recommends installing a K&N Filter with air box lid removed.

8.Carburetor jetting must be changed, see below for additional recommendations

9.Additional Performance and Jetting Recommendations;

For the best performance using your NEW Fat Boy 4 it is recommended to use a K&N air filter. The K&N filter makes the best power and it is recommended to run air box with the lid removed.
For the 250EX it is also recommended to use optional bolt-on turndown and spark arrestor


Jetting Recommendations:
The following guidelines are for Honda 250EX with the following type set-ups.

*DRI has included, at no charge the necessary jets for the above jetting changes with an extra main jet each way.

The above specs should be an excellent starting point for most installations.
Jetting should be checked after install.

Be careful not to run machine too lean-engine damage may result. Too rich power will be lost.

Jetting Notes:

Colder temperature requires richer settings.
Higher elevations cause engine to be low on compression and generally require leaner settings.
Air box lid on requires leaner settings than with lid off.
