Air box lid?!?!?

[yamaha205205]

has anyone ever had any problem with removing your air box lid and hitting a puddle and water getting in...just a question thanks

 

[lilblasty]

Not as of yet, but i can see it happening to me soon as thats my luck

 

[npan1029]

if you hit a big enough puddle then youre definitely gonna get water in it lol. just try to avoid the big ones and you'll be fine

 

[kep3vin]

hitting a puddle no sinking it youll get water in ther

 

[NOVIS]

noooooo. i have sunk mine past the grab bar, and past the exhaust pipe. i dont use the lid and i had no problems. didnt even stall.

 

[2strokep0wer]

Whata bout dust? since it is more open. Has anyone ever got something small like that in it?

 

[NOVIS]

once again noooooooo. i ride usually dry sand tons of dust. if u clean it every couple rides ull be fine.

if you've got an air filter in it its no problem. you should NEVER run without an air filter anyway. the filter is there to catch that dust and stuff so don't worry about it

 

[Blasterdude27]

Rip that lid off!!!! Its a huge restriction. I went a whole winter and summer through snow,water, mud and dust... never had a problem.
Just don't go sinking your bike in water/mud and your fine.
I used to put a plastic shopping bag over my filter when I washed it to keep water out, just make sure you remember to take it off lol.

i have like a screen door screen over over mine so i guess if i dont hit big puddles i should be fine

 

[brandoz28]

yeah....if you're going through something deep enough to get water into the lid, you're not using your head anyway.....

 

[yamaha205205]

thanks man....cuz other wise i was gonna go off buying one but i decided to ask

Just cover the airbox with a piece of panty house for extra dust protection

 

[gsugarek]

Sounds like good advice. Stay out of deep water. Use a Uni foam filter. Keeps out dust and particles better than K&N,imo.

I run a uni filter on both my bikes. I don't have a lid on and I do run with black panty hose over the box. No problems at all

i have a twin air filter and i just screwed thin rubber over it and cut small holes in it lol works fine

 

[20blaster02]

Yeah i run with just panty hose over mine, works great. You can notice a huge difference in the power and throttle response right away

I run with a outerwear airbox cover,it repels most of the water and i get plenty of air through it.

I like playing in the mud.I:I

 

[05BlasterManiac]

To run no air lid cover, what do you gotta do? Don't you have to like jet the carb or something? Also whats the biggest carb you can get with a aftermarket filter, stock motor which might be re built and maybe a new pipe?
