Too bad the pics are gone - I took a quick peek and it looks glued in pretty tight - not much for pulling out the heart or a kidney from the bike - or something...
Will try to take a closer look if you guys insist to just pull until I fall on my arse :).

Don't worry about it mate ! I just removed mine a weak ago...
You need to pull it up and bend it a little so it pulls easier.
Only thing i don't like is that hole and empty space you get after removing it.
I'm thinking about putting some aluminum net over it...

BUT sound that you will get is so so so awesome :)
I couldn't believe it will sound so much better.
Any way if you don't like it you can put it back at the end of day :D

Got it pulled out now - it was quite easy once I squeezed it a bit. I think it is great with the extra space - it is also easier to tighten the battery-cover bolts. I had the same idea about some kind of mesh - but then having baggage in there (I have my locks) can cover the hole - So I was thinking about something that can hold the stuff back in place - some screws, profiles or something. Post pics if you cook up a good solution. :stirpot:.

And the sound is really awesome yes! :notworthy:. It also feels like the bike pulls a little bit more. Have not messed with the CO settings yet.

Also tried to take off the old cans to fit my new MTCs... how come you ALWAYS misplace the ONE tool (allen-key size 6) you need?? :eusa_wall:

Love all these smileys!:110:

For a stage 2 hot cam you need 46 or 47 rear sprocket.

Did you have to remove the airbox to remove the snorkel? Just curious, I'd like to remove mine, but can't be bothered with taking the airbox out of thebike.

Thanks.

No you dont have to remove the air box, just get a good grip on the snorcle and give it a good hard wiggle and pull just make shaw theres nothing behind you cos you may end up on your a*se (I did!!):laughing5:

:tongue1: Yanked it straight out! Didn't fall though. ;)

Too bad Yamaha doesn't look as pretty with the snorkel removed as my KTM. Being KTM is as much about looks as performance the bling KTM Hard Parts cover looks the part when removing their snorkels...
