If the bike has been on it's side, could some of this engine oil got onto the air filter which as standard is quite soft and absorbent.
I would try checking the air filter or take it out completely and see if this improves things.
Obviously be careful as without the air filter in place any dust or contaminents can get straight into the throttle body.
Just a thought.

Cheers Steve.

PS when you fire it up without the snorkel and filter it sounds great!:icon_biggrin:

Errrrr, didn't I say this earlier?

Do I get a prize?:confused5:

Pleased it's sorted.

Steve

You deserve a prize, Steve. Apparently your idea has given the bike in question massive power, so you should patent that one.

And Cypress should get one too, for valiantly attempting to convert sarcasm to draught horse power. But I think we'll be still be hammering our Shetland ponies in spite of his effort.

Good result, though. Nice to hear that a simple solution did the job, rather than a having a massive issue to deal with.

66t,
Why get a stage 3 filter? Airflow 98-99%? Why does it matter?
