Title: de-snorkel!
Post by Rocco on 08/21/09 at 10:05:55

ok, while i figure out what to do with the filter. and i await the jet kit to put the muffler on i was wondering if de-snorkelin right now while stock would do anything?

Take off the seat,.....grab the rubber snorkel, pull....
That's about it....
I tried it,.. had no effect, so I put it back.

you have no idea how much fun it is removing the snorkel while the air filter box is still in place....
i would not recommend running open, you'll get crap stuck in the carb!

You can always try it,... easy enough to put it back...

Some say removing it gives more airflow,... some say leaving it in creates a smoother airflow to the filter...
I didn't notice any difference either way,.... but I did try it for myself...

With parts on the way, why mess with it?

Get it running, then make changes, slowly, & monitor performance.

still debating about gettin a k&n or making my own filter.

the air filter is very important to engine life so i think im gonna go ahead and get a universal k and n cone type. the flat one will not fit in my 93 for some reason?

I had to swab some epoxy in the airbox on the ledges the filter lands on to make mine fit right. You gotta do it carefully or sand it. too tight in there for that. OHH, I modded the airbox to increase the volume between filter & carb.

Keep in mind that a relatively high resistance filter lets as much air through as a low resistance filter of smaller area. I'm not really sold on small filters with low resistance. There's a double layer foam type that I saw on youtube, looks good.

i might just go with the k&n....i have one in my car and noticed a big difference....if i get another one i'll def buy the cleaning kit i've been needing!!

I have a K&N stock replacement, noticed no change in performance.

My car was another story. But I didn't do a drop in there. I did the cone and tossed the air box.

is the rest of your bike stock?

Title: Re: de-snorkel!
Post by Duane on 08/25/09 at 08:02:55

Yes

Only other thing I did is pulled the brass plug and adjusted the air mix. No backfire anymore either. Every now and then I'll get a poof on shut down. My pipe is pretty blue so I might be a little rich. It was pretty blue when I got the bike allready though.

i thought blue means lean?

Title: Re: de-snorkel!
Post by Duane on 08/25/09 at 11:48:19

It might, I could be wrong.

blue is lean
blue is hot
