Did you yank your snorkel? | ||

thats kind of a personal question there M1 !  | ||

Removing the snorkel doesn't make really a difference.Mines still in and its less airbox noise. | ||

Correct... But he essentially has a "race kit" with a different pipe. The instructions for installing a race kit indicate that it should/could be pulled out. Besides... I didn't say anything about it making any difference  . I just asked. When I pulled mine... The ECM most certainly needed to adjust. I went out and tromped on it for a while to get a feel for it, then held it at ~3200 RPM's to allow the AFV to adjust and it got a tad smoother. That's all I know. I've got no back to back dyno's to prove anything. I think it sounds a little cooler though... | ||

M1 What's the deal with the snorkel? I'm installing the racekit on my 05 xb12s and don't see any restriction arond the filter box? what am I missing? | ||

It's the rubber boot going down thru the frame into the left side scoop. I left mine in and drilled some holes in the airbox lid. I know that helped cause I accidentally rode the bike with a rag stuffed in the scoop and didn't even notice. | ||

yes i took the snorkel out,would not have known but i read about it in some of the many post with great information on this site. when i called my dealer service department the service manager had no idea what a tps was or that buell even sold the race ecm. talked to guy who sold me my bike when i was there he had no idea that buell even sold the race kit. also seen a used 03 firebolt that someone traded in with a chain kit on it. |
