Update, we have removed all the components to fit the airbox, plus a bit more, as I am cleaning up the bike and covering it in AF50 protectant, while everything is off.

By the way, the airbox will still come out of the back of the bike (without removing the rear wheel) on a XTR, (which I assume has a slightly greater rear wheel circumference due to the XTR Tourance tyre??).

So tonight its going back together.....

You can also get the standard air box out on the XTX without removing the wheel, but can't get the DNA in on the XTX, that's why I removed the lower link bolt to lower the rear wheel, easier than removing the rear wheel.

Any photo's?

Hi Kev, we did a trial fit, the DNA airbox will go in with the lower link removed on a 2008 XTR with Tourance tyres, so no problems there...

Also, with regards to PDF2 "If your Air box mounting bolts do not line up" you obviously had one of the first airboxs'. They now have shims already fitted and supplied.

Can someone tell me how to load images? I'm sure its been asked before, but I can't find it, plus when I do a "search forum" for anything, it never works.

Anyway, pm for you Kev...

PM returned.

Update, we had a couple of hours this evening, so we finished AF50'ing and cleaning, fitted the DNA Airbox, and did a trial fit on the new cans.. http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0873.jpg
The Airboxes now come with shims on the main inlet, as XT660 frames are not identical, and you may need to do a trial fit, remove it, and shim it up so that it fits the chassis and sits on the intake flange nicely..the shims are the white washers shown here.. http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0878.jpg and here....... http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0879.jpg
This is a view of the inlet flange which has to be butted up nicely either end...... http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0880.jpg
Now refitting everything..... http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0883.jpg http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0884.jpg http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0881.jpg http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0886.jpg http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/IMG_0885.jpg

So, it all back together and nice and clean and protected too! Nothing happening tomorrow night, but the night after its "Get the Cans On, and if we have time (its not my garage!!) "Get the PC111 connected"

Nice work mate. Just reposition the main wiring loom to loosen off the tension on the air temp wiring.

I was hoping to get my bike up and running tonight...unfortunately I cant get at it! The guy who has the garage is sick....So, I hope to get it back to my place tomorrow and get it up and running...dyno booked for Saturday with the DNA Stage 3 , Cans, PC 111...........DAMN...i had "work work"tomorrow morning........................................... ............................hey.....:eusa_dance: i think its another day off work:eusa_dance::eusa_dance::eusa_dance:

So... any comments about DNA's service and quality so far? :hae18:

It arrived in a custom printed carton, with a nifty folder with instructions, CD of maps, Air Flow charts, stickers etc. Also spare bolts and screws (nice touch) along with the bolts, neatly labelled and bagged, needed for installation. Even a little tub of rubber lube included.
Clearly, it is a top quality bit of kit - not something knocked together in a garden shed! For instance, I love the moulded rubber/ laser cut sides,..you can see that alot of thought has gone into the design.
I used the DNA fitting instructions which are good, and all you need. (if you are not that mechanically minded, Kev has done some really detailed instructions with photos in PDF format, which you will find in the DNA Stage 3 advert on this forum) and it was easy to install.

DNA's customer service is second to none,(...up there with Amazon!), they use UPS couriers so you can track your item online. They acknowledged my order and sent it to me double-quick, it arrived really well packed and bang on time. Yep, I'm really really pleased with it.

DNA are the best, thanks guys!!!:YouRock:

She's running..... WOW!....and WOW!!!

DNA Stage 3, Carbon Cans, Power Commander 111, AIS Blocked.

Loads of grunt, say when you're doing 80 in fifth..open the gas and you're doing 106 no sweat!!! WOOOOAH....!!!!!!

I went up Bury Hill, changed up to fifth, and it pulled really strongly from 53mph, accelerating really strongly. (DIDNT DO THAT BEFORE......) Fab,.

It feels like a big bore kit, still really comfy, just alot more OOOMPH!!

Really, really pleased with my conversion.....however it does need setting up as I am running Super Unleaded, and I think its running too rich/overfuelling because it has stalled several times, when on a low and part/half throttle, big-bang backfires (quite a few times....wadding coming out of silencers!!) and cut out, and especially the "lower end of mid-range" punch just isnt there (the same as before). Maybe I started with the wrong map (its all new to me and not good with computers!) I set it on the DNA map 660 open Ackro's.( I HOPE...MAYBE NOTHING LOADED!!!) Should have tried the Standard map.

I think a dyno (booked tomorrow) will really be the nuts (i'm not playing with other maps on the DNA CD, which I could of course, but as a dyno is booked tomorrow, why bother?). I betcha its an easy 7bhp, and 6ft/lbs torque gain. Easy. It just feels like an XT800!!!

But anyway, for today, at the top end revs...its a flying machine.............Woooooah!!!! It gets you up and over the magic ton SO much quicker!!!!!!! (not that I do those speeds on my trialie).....keep you posted on the Dyno results, and how much better/smoother it runs........
