Addition to snorkel removal
 
6 Attachment(s)
Remove snorkel. Drill 5x 28mm holes extra holes, plug up side holes using vent caps.

The air filter area is = 9768mm sq the snorkel hole area removed = 4000mmsq by adding 5x extra breathing holes you are able to use the full effect of the STD filter size, without the out lay of a DNA stage 2 filter.

Remember to clean out the airbox well.

You will need to adjust the fuel injection richer, using a power commander or the Kev Fueling Mod.


Works well for me.

Why didnt u drill the wholes in the removable panel Kev.
This is irreversible and the panel can easily be renewed ????

The removable panel is part of the filtered area of the airbox & would need the air to be filtered, if using this lid.

The vents I used are not filters, they allow full unfiltered air into the airbox up stream of the air filter. Manly to get the most amount of air to the air filter. If you remove just the air snorkel the filter is still very restricted. The air drawn into the airbox should be equal to the filter area, but it is only half, if the snorkel is removed. So drilling extra holes make sense.

You can buy 30mm rubber grommets from any hardware to block up the holes when you sell your bike.

So even with my stage 1 K&N and stage 2 DNA fitted, these holes would make a difference in air stream i guess ???
Cause i have a few left of my previous side panel conversion and without the little filter they would come in handy then........

The best air intake system is 1st K&N + 2nd DNA stage air filter.

This mod is used only if you don't use the DNA 2nd stage filter.

Remember you will need to adjust the fuel injection richer, using a power commander or the Kev Fueling Mod, to get the best result.

Just pulled my snorkel out with no other mods tried the bike and almost flipped it what a difference dont know why as its not supposed to unleash the devil but it did on my bike, well happy

kEV, WHAT ABOUT THE 07 MODEL WI THE LAMBA....CAN THESE MODS STILL WORK ok a take it a`ll not need any fuellin device....John

Should be no problem with filters & snorkel removed.

If the bike runs to lean & lambda control can not richen it up enough the engine light will come on to warn you & a fault code will displayed on the dash.

Finally gotten round to having a look into snorkel removel. I've taken the panel off the side of the bike where the air box is and there's some oily residue there, I'm assuming that's from the filter itself, is it something to worry about?

I'm going to hoover the dust/dirt off the filter itself, and I'm also thinking of applying some of that protective oil I've got from my open air K&N car filter?

Any thoughts chaps/lasses???
