take your seat off and you'll see what looks like a minature ships funnel in the middle, just on the right side of the battery.

If its missing then there will be a hole approx 3-4 inches wide x 6 inches long approx.

Cheers

Snorkel

Took me a while to figure what the Snorkel was too. Basically its the air intake for the airbox. Its there staring at you under the seat.

should the snorkel be removed completly or cut down so you still have the lip to stop anything falling into the air box?
Ive completly removed the snorkel but am worried due to a build up of water in the small plastic tube under air box.I have put a few slices in this tube with a knife to stop any water reaching the engine (not sure if a good idea) but im still worried about any dirt etc etc reaching the engine with the whole snorkel removed.
any advice is welcomed.
cheers big ears.
