filters and airflow

[christ6]

right now im running a kn filter stock airbox with the lid but no snorkle

ifr i put the snorkle back on it will bog out on me cause its getting enough air

but i ride in shitty coniditions sometimes and last time i hit the track i took alot of dirt into my carbs

 

im thinking if i out the snorkle back on and drill a few holes in the box i could probley end up with somewhere the same airflow as with it of it will be harder for dirt to get in? or should i try the kn powerlid with and outerwear

 

anyone who has tried with of these setups let me know how it worked out for u

It's a trade off...

With the snorkel and lid, you're getting your best protection against mud and water...but you're also the most restrictive.

 

Do you ride in mud and water is the first question....

i do ride in water and mud sometimes, but i just cant use the snorkle with my setup so it will bog, what is my best bet to maintain this kind of airflow with some better protection?

The stock airbox is notorious to not sealing properly and letting dirt past the filter, I suggest replacing it with a proflow and K&N I never had any trouble out of mine dusty, muddy or sandy conditons.

use the lid and snorkel. just have to lower youre main jets to compensate.

 

as you already found out, the snorkel makes it run rich as hell on the top end unbless you rejet.

i drilled 3/4 "holes in the top of mine i thimk 6 in total just don't go too far back and took the snorkel off.Works good but i preffer running no airbox lid but i bring it with me if im doin a lot of water crossing.

o yhea it got 2 layers of plstic only drill through the 1st one.
