Airbox lid question

[jdhuegel1]

Hey guys - quick question:

Did any year Blaster come with an airbox lid with 6 breather holes?

Originally I didn't think anything of it, but after poking around and not seeing one I figured I'd ask. My airbox lid has 6 holes in it; I guess they're around 1/2-3/4" in diameter. They look factory and have little matching filters on the underside. Was this an option, or did someone take a lot of time modding this thing?

I can post a pic tonight - although it's not really anything astounding..

Thanks!

Justin

What size main jet is installed to match those filter holes?

Ok, thanks! Man... he must have had some decent fabricating skills. It really looks factory. I'll get a pic later.

I was a little perturbed to find the main jet was 230 with full exhaust and (now new to me) a modded airbox lid. No wonder it has a fresh top end... I've since removed the lid, replaced the filter, and re-jetted. A 290 main has given a pretty good looking plug chop so far. I'd like to get another since the weather is cooling off...

Appreciate the feedback!

nice, good work realizing what needed to be done I:I you would be amazed how many new owners would have blown it up first and asked questions later..

For now just a DG Exhaust and NoFoil filter. I removed the airbox lid..

Sadly, it was stock. I put a 290 main in, and clip in stock location with new Vito pin. The previous owner had it one clip from the top.
I've done one good plug chop and it's safe. Actually a tad rich, but at least now I might be able to hold the motor together. It had a fresh rebuild when I got it. Wonder why?? LOL

I did a lot of reading on this forum (THANKS!) before I bought it.. I knew it was freshly rebuilt but wasn't sure about jets in the carb. I didn't feel safe even running it before checking the jets.

I'd probably be one of 'those' newbs too had I not been through this before with my RX7's. I learned to research, THEN buy. B) I've got all my info from here and hope I can help people out as well.

I learned the tricks of the internal clutch adjustment here too.. man what a BIG help that was. That can be pretty tricky without a little guidance.

I don't - but I will get some. I was so busy getting it in good running order I forgot to take any. I'll probably ride Friday or Saturday so I'll be sure to have the camera with me.
