air intake question ....... - Page 4

I just put on the "POD" type filter today. Man, That was a pain! But well worth the effort. I have only taken the bike for a short test run but it idles smoother and seems to accelerate a bit better. The bike seems to have more pep.

The reason it was such a pain is on the Sierra, two Philips head screws are right behind the frame. I had to remove a bunch of bolts to drop the battery box a half-inch to get to them. Once the filter sub box was removed I just slipped the pod on. I didnâ€™t make any carb adjustments since the bike has been running rich from the beginning.

As soon as I get the pics uploaded I will edit this post and put in the links.

If you click the link to the top view you can see that, it is positioned at a slight angle but doesn't interfere with the body panels.

Is that your clutch cable routed below the cam chain tensioner?

PolygonFla · 03-04-2007, 07:46 PM

Yes, the clutch cable attaches to a bracket at the base of the cylinder then to the top of the transmission case just behind the "QC04" sticker.

Are the Lifans significantly different?

yes...at least on the DB-07A, the cable attaches to the top of the right side crankcase cover [clutch cover]

bfe71730 · 03-04-2007, 07:56 PM

Yes, they are different. everyone that I've seen on the lifans is located on the right side, like hondas. Your engine must be a yamaha design.

Yes, my GY-5 is on the right side on the top of the crankcase, it's the old XR design...

Oh, yes it is. I thought every one here knew that the Sierra is based on the Yamaha XT 200.

I looked at mdionis's gallery pics, he has a real good shot of the clutch cable attachment.

I just never paid any attention to the clutch cables on the Hondas. I never owned one. Just Kawasakis in my past

Hey! What ever works right!
