skj283 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 just curious how u guys remove the lids. looks to me like they are an important part of sealing the filter. are u just cutting it across behind the first set of straps? i am curious of a good way to do it without permanantly modifiying the lid like that. also dont want to go to pods.

They sell a filter adapter kit that attaches inside the filter box to you can clamp the filter on. They also sell a whole kit with the adapter and k&n filter and outer wear. Then you can take the lid on and off as long as you jet for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3lue by u Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 The previous owner of my shee had removed the lid and then used screws in the top to hold the filter skeleton in place. Kinda looks hillbilly but serves the purpose. I will end up doing something to it but it works for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosing the airbox cover will give you a noticeable increase in performance, while the timing plate is only a low end increase that is not very noticeable. Just my opinion though.

00sheerzr Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 this is how i modified my air box lid, i ride lots of mud and a few small streams so i decided to keep it, grab a dremel or a hot turkey knife and go at it , this also helped dial in my jetting because it sputtered at wot then i did this and bam runs awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedSheeRida Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Just take off the lid dont bother with the timing plate its not necessary. I rarely get water or mud in my airbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 If your wanting to remove the lid. Outerwear makes a lid cover that will help keep out the water and mud. Your banshee will really wake up with the lid off!!! Just think or you trying to run breathing through a straw in your mouth with your nose plugged!!! Not fun.
