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.

There's another thread on here somewhere about the same,I put Kev's mod on with a K+N stage 1,DNA stage 2 and the snorkel out,it ran great.

Took Kev's fuel mod off and fitted a PC,the big difference is the PC stops the hunting,but performance wise??? yea it's better,but jeeze you wouldn't want to live on the difference.

I took the snorkel out last night (no problem and no bruised arse ) and it sounds very throaty now, blasting around in 3rd was lovely, some car driver actually looked like he'd messed himself in horror as I flew by him hahaha
