Cutting top of airbox

[rogering]

Thanks calum I have a 240 jet and my exhaust has restrictor removed also as I rewired my own loom blue is earthed and I had diamond pv and positiond into de restricted position, so with cutting top off what up jet would you say I should go to mate ?

I've done it, even with the 125 engine and standard carb. Ran very well and sounds great

Mine didn't like too much air I've had to seal Some of the hole back up and I'm running a full dep exhaust carbon reeds and a 250 main jet

Well I personally think it's butchering the bike. Personally I just use a pod filter.

True mate I have a pod filter but as mine just for off road I need a level of water protection but only got airbox but you have thankfully sorted out the boot I needed for cars to box an I'm greatfull for mate

My stock bike runs better with the snorkel removed, and the hole in the airbox enlarged.

I have added a little splash guard to keep the water away from the opening.

I know this is old, but to help future readers, I have very good results with snorkle removed and 250 main jet, this is paired with a full system.

@glynn123 does the snorkel just pull out lads

[Nottsbiker]

Yes, might be glued in like the airbox halves are glued / screwed together

[Glynn123]

Should just pull out, will be stiff due to the big lip mind, mine came out fine.

[declan]

@glynn123 just asking since when I tried I couldn’t get it out and didn’t want to rip it

[Calum]

Put a flat blade between the air box and snorkel and leverage it out. Don't just tug it out.

Personally I prefer my bikes with Snorkels in as they ride better.

@calum thanks man and yeah worth a try though while I have it apart

[ryancole2001]

@declan yes it pulls right out
