SOURCE: 2005 honda crf450 cant get the idle right & is

Bigger jetting (a higher fuel/air ratio) will not cause overheating. But an air leak between the engine and carburetor can cause overheating - and an erratic idle. Make sure the carb is correctly connected and there are no air leaks. An air leak could also be the cause of the popping that you were attempting to address by re-jetting.
Once any air leaks are corrected, adjust the idle mixture screw to attain the highest idle speed when the engine is at normal operating temperature. Then, use the idle speed screw to set the correct idle speed.
Finally, ride the bike at full throttle for a short time, pull the clutch and coast to a stop. Remove the spark plug and check the color; a tan or light brown color indicates correct jetting. Too light = too lean. Too dark = too rich.

How do I cure vapor lock?

If you're getting vapor lock, the bike will die after a few miles, and not restart for several minutes.
If the bike dies, immediately remove the gas cap and see if the bike will restart right away.
You could also ride it without the gas cap (try it on a tank that's 1/4-1/2 full, NOT fully full, because of gas splash) and see if it doesn't die after a few miles.

Sounds like the gas tank isn't venting.

If air isn't allowed to enter the gas tank to replace the gas flowing out, vapor lock happens.

Next time it dies, remove gas cap and see if it starts quicker/easier, and runs longer.

If so, then you have a plugged vent.

My JD L110 keeps vapor locking. I replaced the plug, battery, air and fuel filters. Could this be electrical?

Try this.
The next time it is running and begins to stall, loosen the fuel cap.
If that helps, clear any vent holes on the cap.
Good Luck.

What is a Vapor Lock? How to fix it?

Google " vapor lock " and read the wikipedia definition. Your problem could be vapor lock but I think it is a vacuum problem. If no air can get into the gas tank then fuel can't get out. Most gas caps have a vent aspect built into the cap. Ride your bike with the cap loose. If the problem disappears you now know the source.

Maintenance Yamaha

I use mine for woods riding, i change the oil every 5th ride. I know that i could go for a whole bunch longer. clean your air filter at the same time a long with your spark plug. if you keep this up you will have this bike for a long time.
