All,
I have been playing with my Air Box / Filter set up on a Hyosung GT250R. There have been plenty of sugestions / comments on how changing the stock airfilter affects mid range and top end performance.
Also, I have put Cycleworks Can on... sounds nice
So the Factory, who must have a budget in the Millions for R&D and also emission levels to work too, bring out a bike with a huge airbox, paper element air filter drawing air through a 'snorkle' / tube built into the filter cartridge.
Seems restrictave whan you look at it, so...
Mod #1 is to open up the orifice to allow greater airflow, right?
Mod #2 is to put a K&N 'Pod' type filter on... No restriction there aye?
Mod #3 is to replace stock paper filter element with K&N or similer type...maby?
So my questions are,
1. what is the point of the snorkle?
2. How does the 'air box' affect induction?
3. Is less restriction better or do these engines need regulating at that point in the induction?
