i should have a go at that myself, it looks tricky tho, good job lloydie, i've already taken away the plastic bar that runs accross the lid of the airbox and cut away the two little mounting points that the bar screwed too. and like yourself i've smoothed them over with araldite. if i can get hold of a spare snorkel i'll have a go at it.

don't you just love it when your out for a ride and you pull away from the lights and the front wheel just pops up, nice and controlled like......
sorry officer

Lloydie what have you done to your bike (tunining wise) to be able to do the snorkel mod?

I just have a pair of blue flames on and standard filter.

de-restricted full exhaust 2-1
K&n filter
Dynojets 185 mains
48s pilot jets
Needle 4th clip + 1 washer
Mixture 1.5 turns out
Tps 500 ohms
Stick coils
Ail velocity stacks
Snorkel mod
That's my intake and exhaust mods so far :-)

Bsm yep the front wheel is light even in 3rd

not with me on it and only putting out 88bhp....

Lol ha ha ha :-)

Bet that's like sitting on a rocket lol! Mine will lift its front in second if I'm brutal with the throttle but deffo not in 3rd!

Dropping a tooth on the front sprocket helps :-) .
I just need to get the lower part of the air box finished now :-)

Looking good Lloydie, it will be interesting to see how your next dyno compares. Did you adjust your carb settings to compensate or is that how you last had it? and that's with the Dynojets isnt it.

Marty put some cable tyres round your fuel lines before you blow yourself up. You have'nt got the rubber splashback protector there either to stop fuel dropping on the hot link pipe.

Yep dyno jets .
I've not messed with the carbs when I fitted the new lid as it feels good .
When in at the dyno I will do a run with standard airbox
And one with the new lid and then one with the full modified air box .
Fid the one that works best and stick with it :-)

Good man your doing it all the right way to get true dyno results for the mods. You don't want to fettle with the carbs from the last one as you know it will alter it.

Yes. but one of the problems with this test regimen is that the bike will run best with the setup that suits the jetting best.

What you can#t tell is that (for instance) the modified airbox would produce another 5 BHP if only the jetting were corrected, but just sticking the box on with the jetting set up for the standard one would lose you 2bhp, and make it look as though it was a step backward.

Ideally you need to get the jetting set up for each one, but that will add a fair bit to your dyno bill.

It will be done on the dyno day do costs will be low :-) .
It will be set up for the modded box buy the end of the dyno day .
I have wrote down all the carb setting for standard box so I can return it back to that if I mess it up .
5bhp really mmmnrrrr that would take mine to 113bhp that's 25bhp more than that slow blue one :-)

...with the black tank, don't forget the cause of the power loss, the black tank!!

5 BHP

That's impressive just from a modified airbox. I think this will have to go on my list of mods to do. I like it.

So Tony, with your modified engine and the airbox etc you must be getting close to the borderline of having to update your frame/swingarm mounts.

145 i thought was the limit of the crack cases .
i think tonys is about 120+ ish .
