i have a xb12s w/ a race pipe, k&n and race ecm. i see all these people talking about desnorkling. what does that mean? what part are you modifing | ||

open your airbox top to expose the filter. look at the left frame rail. see the tube going through the frame? that is the snorkel. you should pull it out since part of doing the race kit involves removing it. Phil | ||

Pulling The rubber piece out of the intake scoop in the frame. | ||

i had the dealer do it right after i got the bike. i have had the airbox apart and i dont think i saw anything in there, just frame. but i would have to check the the box i got back to see if its in there. i did have the first service done and saw a good amount of oil in the air box. | ||

You can reach in the left side air scoop and up. If you feel rubber, it hasn't been removed. | ||

You can reach up the left air scoop and feel (or even see)the bottom of the snorkel from there if it's still there. Dealers sometimes forget to remove the snorkel. It's not the stack on throttlebody intake inside the filter. Don't touch that. Some oil normally collects in the bottom of the filter box from the PCV breather tubes. | ||

Some oil normally collects in the bottom of the filter box from the PCV breather tubes. Unless you put the breather kit on and reroute them under the bike somewhere!  | ||

Mine is still there on my 9r what difference will taking it out make any. | ||

i searched for an answer on here and found a variety of answers in different threads. has anyone ever dyno a before and after. also what difference would it make putting a 12 airbox on? | ||
| Surveyor |
Yes, but I can't find the charts but the bhp and torque return for removing the snorkle and fitting a 12 lid is significant and without doubt the best value tuning mod I have carried out in 35 years of working on bikes. | ||
| Lucky |
what does fitting a 12 involve? and roughly what will one cost? | ||
| Ted |
Remove the cover, unclip the stock airbox cover and swap. I think they're $40. With snorkel out, it allows more air in. | ||
| Lucky |
Thanks | ||
| Lucky |
can i get it from a dealer for $40? and are the 12s and 12r the same airbox? | ||

Yes. Also, to note, the 05 9R's come with the 12 box cover. You can identify it by the downward dimple over the intake stack. Also, there is a rectagular indentation in the top of the cover where the 12 muffler valve solenoid would sit. Pertinent part numbers for you. 12R Airbox (P0215.1AA) Pro Series Sparkplugs (32822-01Y) Pro Series Air Filter (29388-02Y) '04 Mirrors (N0013.02A8) (Message edited by midknyte on May 13, 2005) | ||

i took the air box apart today. no snorkle. but i guess they forgot to give it back to me. oh well, i'll never put it back in anyway. |
