Air Box Mod

[Ghost23]

Hey, has anyone ever had oil leak after doing the small air box mod on a GEN 1? Also, is the middle hose on the airbox supposed to stay hooked up?

 

[Ghost23]

Actually got it figured....

Cool. Bit of an' issue with the breather hose(middle one) I'm guessing.

You want instuctions on modding the airbox? or just want to know what he ran into? or both?

Both sir. I have my bike tuned for the small box mod and have an extra box for my bike.

type airbox mod in the search bar here.......

FILT166...I forgot to hook the crankcase breather hose back up. It's the middle hose coming from the Air Box down to the engine. RSD, you are correct sir...lol...

If you are already tuned for it...the rest is easy. Flip yer air box over,remomove the componant from the middle,use a simple twist action.Now reach in and pull out that plastic flapper valve.Doesn't matter if you destroy it getting it out,it is no longer needed. Now plug the hole.I used a peice of plastic cut to fit. I used the lid from a rattle can,the more flexible type,less brittle,easier to cut. Then put hi-temp silicone around the diameter of the hole,stick in plug,let dry. Dont forget to plug the rubber hose that once led to the componant(the flapper actuater).

Small Box Mod Done.

"Search" doesn't always provide the gold. I usually get bored sifting thru dozens of posts.

Took me less than a minute to type out yer answer. most questions dont get answered that fast,if at all, with the search.

FILT,
if you want a true small airbox mod, you also cut out the floor of the airbox under the air filter, all the way to the lip that the air filter rests on.

Easy to forget.
GENI conversation isn't as popular in the last several years.

I will look into this mod and do it as I have another air box to cut out.
Now lets say with this mod, what do you loose n gain?
Any real input on this?
Are we loosing torque but gaining HP? How much of each n just an estimate.
Thanks guys

The jury is still out.
I have seen die hard land speed guys say that it hurt them.
I did some testing years ago and it showed a gain.
I can't remember the exact numbers, so i'll addlib.......
First pass was from second gear at 60mph, going thru the gears between 2 signs{on a closed course, ofcourse}. The signs were about 9/10ths of a mile apart.
I went 182mph on the GPS.
Went back in 6th gear at about 100mph and rolled the throttle for the same distance.
Went I think 183mph.
Went home, did the small box mod and went back 2 hours later. Did the same 2 passes, and went 3mph faster on both.
The bike was a stock 2000 model with Yosh bolt on mufflers only.
