Fullthrottle02 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Going on a trail ride in a few weeks. Haven't ran anything but pods since the port work and CPI's. I am a little bit concerned with sucking in water if we happen to run across it. Should i leave the pods or put the air box back on? How bad will the air box choke down the motor?

bansheedude55 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 i dont know too much but i would leave the pods on cause better to have a working motor then one thats gunna bogg the fuck out!! lol just leave the pods on if you come across puddles or water ride through it slow for now untill you figure everything out dude have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I would just go SLOW if you come across any water. But for the piece of mind you could always throw your box back on....You will have to re-jet or your bike will be running way too rich. Not sure if this would work...Could you zip-tie some kind of bag or something to ride with? When I wash my bike with pods I always throw a grocery bag over my filters. Not sure if it could be ridden that way, but just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue angel Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 just take it slow if you encounter water. or go around it if at all possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydownunder Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 or put an air box on, re jet it and thrash it all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 What about the outerwares lid or a chunk of it affixed to the lid? Anyone have experience with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullthrottle02 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I don't like bashing through any puddles, but sometimes they cant be avoided, get charging through the trails, especially following someone and there it is. Never very deep, just a little water in a low spot on the trail. I'll probably just leave it alone and take it with me just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 stock air box set up right wont hurt your air flow much at all. recently i have been switching back to airbox parts due to pod filters rubbing on the frame and pissing me off with the sand they let in and shit. i mod the stocker a LOT it is easy to remove and can be set up in ways to work fully open and closed up mostly for wet area's i have a 421 cub with a stock box on it it runs well.

robert.b.west Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Your pods are not really in a direct splash area. You will be fine with them on. We water skim with pods. Just make sure you have outerwears. They help a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you have outerwears. They help a lot. I thought about spraying my outter wears with scotch guard. I haven't tried it yet, but should help if any water gets on it, it should just bead up....but avoid water if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
