are you willing to listen to my most expert friend in the world *Kev" and give his Kev Mod a try, if you are not happy with it Kev will happily refund you soon as you send it back to him.

just saying give it a go and don't knock it til you've tried.

I'm not knocking anything or anyone,I'm enjoying being able to have a reasonable conversation without 'Take it to your dealer' syndrome,I even did the 600 mile oil change,so I'm all ears.

1. I'm still getting over how drastic a change the filter has been.

2.Fuel question I find interesting,and may even go back to the DNA and fresh fuel to see the difference.

3. If I'm honest,I've not read up on the board as much as I could sorry that is should!!!,my XT is well down the food chain when it comes to bikes and I'm going to have to get off my arse and pay more attention.

4. If I go the Kev mod,how well will it work with a Metal Mule 2/1 has anyone been there done that,because although I have Akra's on it at the mo,my intention is an MM.

I think Kev has a Powercommander map for an off-the-road 2 in 1, not sure but that would involve a powercommader as 2 in 1's are usually sh|t hot :D and loud!!

As you've rightly said there's loads to read up and we are not new to this, so surely you'll find one or two discussions related tow 2 into 1's and if in doubt please ask Kev.

Some people on here do come across as arsey, whether they actually are or whether its just difficult to get tone across in text.

I'm sure I will,the problem!! this filter thing was a 5 minute job,i've got 3 other bikes all on the go at the moment,with god knows what to do to all of them.

Swap the air box lid back & put a fresh tank of fuel in then retest, is my advice. The XT is well known for being run lean that is why everyone complains about the surging, a Power Commander is the best fueling device with a custom made fuel map, I do have a 2into1 fuel map for a Power Commander.

We have hundreds of XT's running with stage 2 filters & no fueling device & they have not complained about what you are experiencing.

I'll be back !!!

Right then!!

Took the DNA off,original panel back on,start bike goes bang on the button,get some gear on off I go,doesn't feel quite right,but may it's the difference in the filter.

Mile down the road bike stops,takes 45 minutes to get home,start bike go 20 meters and stops,think it's a vacum in the tank,take fuel cap off, no better,longer you leave the bike further it goes when you start it back up,finally get back home.

Either fuel or plug,don't want to do both,in case I can't work out which is the problem.

Change plug,starts just like it did before,put gear back on runs fine,go home,DNA in,and that also runs well.

So pure coincidence,plug had done 3,000 miles,hey ho.

So, did you notice much difference with the DNA filter?

Good stuff, I'm pleased you got it sorted.
