MrT Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just wondering anyone used these. Was thinking of doing away with the standard airbox and filter, any benefits ? drawbacks? Quote Link to comment
SiBag Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) What carbs, what engine? As far as I know CV carbs are best with an airbox. Edited August 30, 2017 by SiBag Quote Link to comment
boilerdude Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 You need a stage 3 jet kit to go with those. You can't just slap them on and go. I would recommend the stage 1 or 2 (cut a hole in the airbox) kit instead. For reasons. Like you can still leave it out in the rain. And personally I have never been able to retain the throttle response of having an airbox since I've run open filters. Others advice will vary. Quote Link to comment

Antman Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Keep the air box mate if you want to tweak it maybe change the filter to a K&N. Pods,Socks,K&N single/dual make it difficult to tune. If you must then make sure you use a jet kit. Ant Quote Link to comment
MrT Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 cheers guys me thinks the air box shall remain. I'm new to all this buggering about with bikes saw these cheap on the bay of e and the box was a bitch the get out and on again. The bike (gsx 750f ) running lumpy and a bugger to start at the min so chasing an air leak (i think) stinks of petrol when trying to start it. Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 tried new plugs yet? Quote Link to comment
boilerdude Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Try installing an 1100 engine and see if that fixes it. 1 Quote Link to comment
MrT Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Plugs are quite new, had them out today and cleaned them still running rough, this bike is really kicking my arse now 3 weeks of one thing going wrong after another. Have refitted airbox made all connections are good new fuel hoses. Still cuts out when hot feels like its stuttering a bit under my arse when riding. Are the idle screw and mix screw the two on the 1st intake carb could this be an issue wrong mix? forgive my technical terms but I'm no mechanic. Also noticed the down pipe on the right of the bike (when sat on it doesn't get warm as quick as the others. Any tips suggestions advice is more than welcome. Quote Link to comment
Damienga15de Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Are the float bowl breathers venting ok they can be squeezed under the tank Quote Link to comment
MrT Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 breathers are good after cleaning the plugs I turned the air/fuel mix a quater turn to the right and gave it a damned good thrashing for about ten miles, no cutting out feels smoother still jittering a bit on idle but at least its going now , need a carb balance perhaps?
