air intake question .......

Ben · 01-16-2007, 04:51 PM

:?: having never seen one of theses bikes in person ,i was wondering if they have an airbox under the seat or do they have just the filter and housing on the carb itself .thanks

they do have a air box

And if you don't like it, they are easy to take out the air box and clamp on a UNI Pod filter right to the carb.

what size uni filter fits the best in there?

fatboy250 · 01-29-2007, 08:40 AM

For most I think 39mm

On many bikes, modifying an air box or filter can cause drastic jetting changes. I don't know if that's the case on the Chinese stuff because I haven't messed with one yet. It all really depends on how restrictive the stock air box is.

For ours the air box wasn't the major restriction, the exhaust was. A significant difference was noticed after drilling out both baffles. Ours reach an indicated 82mph(closer to 75mph actual) now with a K&N type filter and 2 1/2 turns out on the fuel air mixture screw and bottom notch with the c-clip.

Hey Jason where did you get your air filter from mailorder or local and how much if you dont mind saying
Thanks Ray

I got ours from the internet. After doing some more research, it looks like ebay is the way to go, even with shipping. It should end up being around $10 for the K&N type cone filter. Let me know if you find better.

I know you guys love those pod air cleaners, but how good is the actual filtration on these bad boys? I bring this up because out here in the West we deal with dust and sand and a number of these cheap Ebay pods don't filter worth a poopoo and a prefilter would be in order.

I've bought a couple of the pod type filters off eBay before. They are decent quality but need to be oiled like a K&N to filter out the small stuff. For another 15/20 bucks you can have a real K&N and probably be ahead of the game. The stock airbox is kinda cheesey and I wouldn't count on that filtering out everything either!

I am personally content the the stock box/air filter now. I do alot of trail mud riding, so I like the box.

I think I'll stick with the box too. At least until it falls apart. I will be riding in rain often, and I'm not sure how well the pod would work sucking in that much water. I gotta take a closer look to see how protected it would be without the box.

fatboy250 · 01-31-2007, 04:24 PM

I agree, if you are going to be in lots of off road mud dirt and dust , then stay with the box. I do almost only street with a few trails from time to time. The filter I have is sufficiently tucked under the seat and behind the side panels that normal rain and other road debris is not a problem.

Roketarider · 02-19-2007, 09:07 AM

Well, I put a cone filter on yesterday and took it out for a ride. You can def hear a difference, but it seems like it is starving for fuel? I guess I will move the c-clip down one and see if that makes it run better.
