Banshee Air Box

[yan]

when i got my new pipes i also jetted it with the jets that came with the tr6 but the air filter looked like crap so i bough a pro design air filter. Is pro design a good air filter.

 

So when i put it in i took off the tub that is connected to the air box that is going up

 

so there is almost a stright path for sand mud and water to get in.

 

should i stay away from water mud and shit like that.

 

one of my friends took off his air box cover (lid) completly and he said he it does not matter. water mud ???????????? sand + stright path = wash air filter alot

I dont ride in mud or water and still keep my air box on. In your case I would definitly keep that box on, and maybee even the lid. Water is not going to stay out that air filter, its made to filter air not water and mud. I'm shure one of the trail riders will come in soon and let you know more.

i've had the pro flow with foam filters for about a year or more now. i've been running without the lid 90% of last summer and so far this year. on the trails, in the dust, in the rain, major muddy poker runs, some high water crossings, and i've never had any trouble with it yet. you will need to check and clean it more often though. and leave the drain catch on the bottom of the box of to allow dirt/water to fall back out if it does get in there. it will run a lot better without the lid, and it will need rejetted accordingly, but it's well worth it. i actually rarely even use filter oil on it. just keep it cleaned regularly and you should be alright without the lid.

 

if your leaving the lid on, try this. when i was tinkering with mine, i took off the snorkel, as you did, and also got a dremel and trimmed out the tunnels on the underside of the lid so that it was a straight shot to the entire filter, not just the back end of it. i also put in 12 of the 1" unifilters in the lid for added air flow. another trick is to only cut the lid off up to the rear clips to allow extra air flow, and still cover almost all of your filter. keep in mind that any airbox/filter mods will require the jetting to be adjusted.

I run my bike through mud, dust, sand, pretty much any condition with no lid and a UNI air filter and pro flow plate. No problems as of yet....

I only had one problem with mine in the 2 years or so i've had my lid off.That was from really wet snow and it got flung up in the airbox.Jut made it bog a little,but then it was fine.I use the waterproof outwear on mine too.

1" unifilters is that the little circle air hole with like a little fome thing inside?

 

if so i have two on top ,two on each side and six on back

 

i dont have the outerwear air filter thing

 

i washed my atv with a preasure hose and water went throw the air holes and that fome stuff right in to the air box

 

preasure hose can it f**k up the banshee

[boonman]

That is why you don't aim ANY hose, be it from a pressure washer, or hooked up to your house at the air box. A little common sense can go a long way. you should be running an outerware no matter what. I don't have an airbox lid, and I wash my bike with a pressure washer every time.....
