watkins Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 im getting 2-1 crab and running the flitter righ off the crab..there is a lot of dusty road here( canada, n.s) and with the outer bag on the filter will it suck up any dust?? What kinda of filter are you running? Foam or K&N? will i have to clean the fillter after each ride( realy should anyways) You should be cleanining it after every ride anyways (or at least after every trip) and will it lean out my motor at WOT?? i use my lowend alot and middle alot.. not to much W0T but the odd time when racing cars.. You will have to rejet. Quote
BANJO Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Posted July 1, 2005 its a k&n flittler.. i will clean it after each ride.. and i know you have to reject.. but i heard the flitters right of the carbs still make the wot lean out?? i just dont want to have any problems with my shee.. im trying to make it as simple as posible and last a bit longer.. peace devin Quote
bansheefreak Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 get an outerwear.. this will helpwill slow down the dust from clogging filter and help gettin in the motor Quote
watkins Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 An Outerwear will help with the dust but K&N filters are known for sucking in dirt. Foam filters work much better in dusty dirty conditions.. K&N's work great in Sandy conditions..... however I do run a K&N and ocasionally ride in dusty conditions and so far no issues.. but i always am thinkin about it. Quote
dalegoldston Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 I run a K&N in every condition and have no problems, just stay out of water. You can put through shallow stuff but not anything deep, If you choose to leave the airbox off. Quote
Holyman Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 Think about this for a sec... you are riding down a gravel road with the windows of your car wide open. Then you take down the convertable top and continue riding. Which one is harder for you to breathe? The intake takes in the same amount of air in either case and since the air is full of dust, the dust is going to either get stuck to the filter or go thru it. The only way for less dust to get to the filter is to choke off the amount of air getting to the filter which will in turn choke off the engine. My point is, don't worry about "more dust", worry about a clean filter. You will find that your engine will breathe much better and you will enjoy the performance improvement. The next thing you need to do is get rid of those crabs Quote
stclark816 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 If you end up using an outerwear, make sure you keep it clean.. Ive seen them get clogged up. Buddy of mine was riding (he had an outerwear) and was bout to shoot up a steep hill, all of the sudden his banshee just cut out and wouldnt stay running. We couldnt figure out why. So we took off the outerwear and it started right up and ran great. Thing was so clogged that it wasnt getting any air. It's a good thing he wasnt in the middle of a steep hill when that happened.
