Talking 400ex Problem

Ok i just got this 400ex it starts right up but when I open up the throttle all the way no matter if Im riding it or just sitting in Neutral its just starts bogging/missing (well it sounds like a miss) Its a 99 with procircuit pipe and currently doesn't have an airbox lid i just cleaned the plug (pain in the *** to get in there lol) and i dont really know if it would matter but i currently dont have a battery in it i just want to get an idea where to start..... rev box, carb/jetting, airbox lid? Thanks

Sounds like the main jet. It is hard to clean it.Just go to your local dealer and tell him the elevation you ride.He will give you the float level and main jet size.

I'm sure the engine is getting spark from the CDI. or it wont run at all. So I guess the battery wont change that.But I'm no expert on battery assisted machines.

If it were mine, I would start by cleaning the jets....
