De-Snorkel My K&N???donniej 07-11-2005, 08:04 AM I just got this K&N filter and I was surprised to see that it has a snorkel. Question 1: Should I hack it or leave it? Question 2: If you say leave it, do you think I will? :lol: dackler 07-11-2005, 09:19 AM i de-snorkeled a stock filter, and without rejetting, it ran like crap over 5k or WOT. i figured it was most likely a lean condition. I would think the desnorkeled k&n would produce the same results donniej 07-11-2005, 09:33 AM i de-snorkeled a stock filter, and without rejetting, it ran like crap over 5k or WOT. i figured it was most likely a lean condition. I would think the desnorkeled k&n would produce the same results I'm already running a de-snorkled stock filter and it's been re-jetted. I also have the cams recently installed and I've got larger main jets sitting on my table waiting to be installed. avc8130 07-11-2005, 09:56 AM This is a dumb thread...moderators please delete :lol: We all know Donnie is going to modify it...pretty soon he will be using the airfilter off an 87 Ford Escort wagon or someting! ac nc_sv650 07-11-2005, 10:00 AM Did you get this filter new? Apparently there were two versions of the K&N; I think the first version had a smaller inlet and caused problems. IIRC, there might have been something about this in the tips n' tricks section. :) donniej 07-11-2005, 10:01 AM pretty soon he will be using the airfilter off an 87 Ford Escort wagon or someting! It didn't fit... :lol: donniej 07-11-2005, 10:07 AM Did you get this filter new? Apparently there were two versions of the K&N; I think the first version had a smaller inlet and caused problems.

Stock or aftermarket exhaust? I am currently running stock ex. and want to aftermarket when budget allows. I already have a jet kit (an old K&N, that apparently was produced by dyno jet). and not sure what to do right now. I even bought an extra set of carbs just to go back and forth easier and for extra parts(only $50--hell i spent that on one diaphragm for my old 350). Need some jet advice or should i just shim for now? donniej 08-18-2005, 04:17 PM Stock or aftermarket exhaust?* I am currently running stock ex. and want to aftermarket when budget allows.* I already have a jet kit (an old K&N, that apparently was produced by dyno jet). and not sure what to do right now.* I even bought an extra set of carbs just to go back and forth easier and for extra parts(only $50--hell i spent that on one diaphragm for my old 350). Need some jet advice or should i just shim for now? I desnorkled the K&N which was also an old model. It flowed almost as well as a desnorkled OEM filter. Desnorkle one of your filters, 3 turns on the A/F screw, 2 shims and 150 main jets should do it for you with an otherwise stock bike... knee-dragger777 08-19-2005, 08:20 AM Thanks donniej! I appreciate the help. I just gave you some good Karma. (for whatever that is worth). | |
