Snorkel Removal?
 

Just done Kev mod and drilling holes in air box. Cant decide what exactly the snorkel is that I have to remove. Sounds very easy. Any chance of a piccy. Or Instruction. Cheers:icon_biggrin:

Sorry Me Being Thick But
 

:brain:After my last post went straight back in the garage and realised what the snorkel is. Couldn't see wood for the trees or rather the black rubber for the black plastic.:laughing6:

don't worry mate silly things do happen.

It's taking me a week to work out a piece of software which is supposed to be "for dummies" so you're not alone.

Oh and... I still haven't worked it out by the way so I must be thicker than I thought.

Here is what I am unable to workout...

5 String Basses no less!
 

Well that answered my question! Got a couple of 6 string electrics myself, but dont play much if a tall now.:smilies1349:er think we've gone a bit off subject.

That's ok, as long as the boss doesn't notice, I reckon we'll get away with it this time, mom's the word, aye? :042:

In my case, water usually does not get on top of the airbox when riding, it does, when washing the bike ;)

I did remove the snorkle but I am going to make another one that would not restrict air flow, just to keep the water away from top of the airbox.
It would look something like this except only 2cm high and superellipse shaped, like the hole itself. And it would not go IN the hole, it would be AROUND the hole.

Ok abt the drilled holes again in the side of the airbox. The holes lets more air into the engine that will make you run lean. So after you drill you probably have to go for a dyno to adjust the correct fuel/air ratio. So again why the holes if the Dyno will overwrite them?

A dyno will not over write anything, the dyno can measure the A/F ratio so the tuner can get the best HP from the bike.

By adding more air you need to add more fuel, by doing this we have proven on the dyno that the XT660 gives more HP & Torque. Even with a stage 1 & 2 filter there is still not enough air going into the motor.
