Usually someone likes to removes ram air from their air box as they want to run the bike with move linear power, so to speak!

 

Not true at all! The ZX-7R P model has TWIN ram air ducts and still has the most linear power band testers had known for sportbikes.

[Jayz_sg]

There is no K&N airbox.

 

An air box is a device to guide air to e carb.

By removing e airbox, u will be running way too lean.

If u want ur bike to sound hollow, u can just poke holes at e side of e airbox.

 

An air filter is a device which removes undesirables such as dust, pollen, mold, and bacteria from e air entering ur carb.

 

Its illegal to tong ur exhaust. If caught $70. It is very easy to catch one with tong end can. If there is a small screw at e bottom of e end can, it means e end can is operated b4.

Just tong ur stomach n leave ur end can alone.

It will achieve e same purpose of reducing back pressure but is alot softer n harder to be caught.

Anyway both my stomach n end can is tong.

my air box doubles up as an air filter.

do not try to do that. it takes professional and highly skilled engineers to design and built that bike. whatever they did,they were had safety in consideration plus i wonder why we always want to outsmart the genius?

Some history books will state that Pierre and Ernest Michaux, the French father and son team of carriage-makers, invented the first bicycle during the 1860s. Historians now disagree and there is evidence that the bicycle is older than that. However, historians do agree that Ernest Michaux did invent the modern bicycle pedal and cranks in 1861.

It's there so that oil fumes from the engine are directed back into the combustion chambers to be burnt instead of being vented to atmosphere. Years ago the pipe used to just hang down under the car so that clouds of fumes and oil droplets could spray over the car behind you as your engine became worn.

so if airbox is taken out we need to service our carb more frequently ?

[BIKE]

=)

[BIKE]

[craz_03]

washing carb is to my sp is like ard 4-5 mths once or everytime u do full servicing juz in case ur bike stall due to dirty carb.. =)

 

u put back the air box.. u also have to re-tune ur bike...

if not, air / fuel intake ratio is wrong resulting in loss of power & fc

[xuanfan23]

is it good to drill hole on airbox ? power stronger ?

whats the pros and cons ?

[SV650]

Imagine riding with an open face helmet and open your mouth wide. What goes into the mouth is the same stuff that goes into your engine if u remove the air filter / drilling holes at the airbox. Would any guys like the idea of those stuff going into your mouth???

[xuanfan23]

those dirty stuff all these.. icic.. kinda get it. but why so many ppl stil drill hole if its not good ?
