air box removed?

[lastnline75]

i bought my second banshee a few months back and the stock air box has been removed. the shee is a 2000 model with fmf fattys on it and i was just wondering if this is a safe setup having the box removed. the bike has twin pod filters and outerwears on it and i just got some new ones in the mail from f.a.s.t and just want to make sure this setup is ok. any help is appreciated.

It's safe as long as you don't go through deep water and suck it in the carbs.

 

You also need to make sure your jetting is on. If they put that stuff on without rejetting you are running on borrowed time.

 

Whenever buying a used bike you need to make sure the jetting is on first thing.

yeah thats the next thing i was goin to do is check the jetting to be on the safe side. i havent rode the bike but a couple of times for short durations just keep the bugs blew out until the weather warms up! thanks for the help.

Banshees need to breath, they need those pods.. it's a good mod.

Just stay away from water & mud. I clean my pods after every ride!

Definitly keep the outerwears on it when riding, even though there are filters some sand still finds a way to get through the filter.

How many times are you going to ask Kaos? :laugh:

 

Running Pods with pipes is good. A lot better flow than the stock filter and box/snorkle. As others have said already, just make sure your jetting is good and keep away from too much water :thumbsup:

I use ro run the stock airbox with K&N, outerwear and no lid and the box basically becomes a dust/sand-trap. I moved on to clamp-on's and I love it, you can feel the difference in how the engine breathes.

 

It's definetly a sweet set up, just rebember to clean your filters often, make sure they are well oiled and clean your outerwears after every ride.

 

Also notice that all the weight of the carb plus the filter is supported by the intake manifold. After every ride check all the clamps are very tight. Also look for cracks in the manifold. Extra precaution never hurts.
