I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a qusetion about the snorkel...

I'm currently running a 2012 XTX with standard cans and I've already upped the Co levels. Will removing the snorkel mean that I need to change anything else? Don't have any spare cash atm for any other fuel mods unless they're free.

I just want to experience what the sound is like with it out to see if I want to run it like that.

Any help would be great thanks guys

No mods needed if just removing snorkle, its said that you only need to start using fueling fixes if you start using dna stage 2 filter and above

Thanks for the info

Does the same apply for any aftermarket filter? Like if I was to change the filter at all, I'd need to start changing the fuelling?

If you fitted a K&n or dna stage 1 replacment the fuel mixture will lean out slightly but not to much to cause any issuses.

On my last xtx i ran snorkle out k&n stage 1 and dna stage 2 with aftermarket pipes and no fueling correction and never had any problems and i ran 15.000 miles on that setup.

This time i have purchesed the kev fuel mod worth the price compared to a powercomander.

The bike will run fine with the snorkel removed & no fuelling device.

Save you money until you can buy a stage 2 filter + fuel mod, it will roar like a lion & will add a smile to your face with the increase in power.

The difference between the Kev mod and the PC becomes apparent when you start tuning your fuelling using a dyno. The ability to build a custom map allows you infinite control over your mixtures and ratios. The trade up is how much do you want to spend to gain a bit of extra torque and some hp. I run a PC but to my mind the Kev mod is amazing value for money! Also consider doing the O2 mod because that makes a huge difference to a/f ratio which is what causes hunting at low revs. This site had some very good PC maps as a starting point if you don't have access to a dyno.

I only put my post up for those guys on a budget and unless folks can find a secondhand PC be happy with Kevs mod more than good enough and anyone in the West Mids I still have mine somewhere???,I run two bikes with PC's fitted,but my time is consumed with another thats had a Rexxer map blown straight into the ECU,talk about making life simple.
