Title: Desnorkling
Post by tbear on 07/22/07 at 20:23:28

Are any carb mods necessary after desnorkling the air box of an otherwise stock '06 Savage and substituting a K&N filter? I will also be adding a SuperTrapp with 8 discs. Will it cause an overly lean condition? Even more than it already is? I'm new here and am starting to modify my bike. I'm looking to do the more simplistic things while in waranty before messing with the carb.

Thanks all.

Do one mod at a time. If it starts poping like crazy go back a step.

The super and stock intake will be just fine otherwise.

well your giving it a way to such in more air and a way to pump more out - I'd sure want to mix a little more fuel with it.

If I could go back & do it all over, I would go run it, check the MPG, make one change, run it, see how the performance changed, check MPG & trhen move on to the next step. Awww But No, I went at it hammer & tong, When I was done & it didnt do what I really hoped, I had no idea where to look. I KNEW that going in, I was just impatient. So, the moral of the story is, ya just cant hardly tune a radio if you adjust more than 1 knob at a time. I am currentlu detuning the bike trying to resolve the MPG issue &, since the daughter is riding it, I dont want it that fast anyway.
BTW, the bike is lean from the factory. Reelthing offers a good point I think. Making the thing breathe easier means more air in & out. Adding a little gas would be cheaper than wishing ya had. If it winds up rich, you can fix that easier than if its too lean.

Thanks for the advice. I will definately try to be patient and do the one mod at a time approach and see how she runs.

Where exactly is the snorkel anyway? Is it the square rubber removeable intake, the round outlet tube that leads to the carb, or none of the fore mentioned? I guess after looking around at my air box I'm not sure where or what it is. Yes, I'm a newbie. ;D

That's what I initially thought, but wasn't quite sure. ;)
