Air box mod?

[BEAR]

OK, where did it go?
Is it necessary to destroy the flapper to get it out? <i></i>

[gixxer57]

No you dont have to destroy the flap to get it out.Go to Tech Discussion page 3, unrestricting the bus.
Cheers Gixxer <i></i>

Well, I ended up cutting out the centre section, and of course the flap falls out! Cheers and thanks <i></i>

[BEAR]

I don't know if I did the mod the "correct" way. I cut out the floor of the airbox inside the small lip that locates the inside edge of the air filter.
I can get some photos if anyone wants.
I'm sure I saw photos in a thread once but the "unrestricting the Bus" thread doesn't have them. <i></i>

Do you have a Power comander on it. Cheers Robert

Done! <i></i>

[BEAR]

Yes. I've now got a 4:1 exhaust and the airbox mod, plus a few of the minor ones, PAIR system, TRE etc.
So I've just now got a few little bits to tidy up, such as re-gluing the foam back onto the airbox and it slips back in. Then I'd like to do a butterfly balance (but need to wait for the carbtune gauges). Then it should be ready for another tune up for drags starting mid September! <i></i>

Good stuff, as it will open a can of worms

Sounds ominous! Can of worms??? <i></i>

[Maj750t]

Think that can has already been opened.
The old "at what point have you modified things enough to need a PC" <i></i>

[BEAR]

Well, I've got one, so hopefully I can get it set up now for HUGE torque spread from just off idle to red line!! Is that asking too much? <i></i>

[simmo]

Bear I have played around heaps with mine a couple of years ago with my pc2 and the bike is going great now but it took heaps of playing around with, if you want a starting point map I can try and copy mine for you, have you taken it for a test run since cutting out the airbox.

No, I haven't put it back together yet as I've ordered the carbtune gauges, so might as well get the throttle bodies synchronised and then put it all back together. I have had it dynoed with the new exhaust and then adjusted by FF1 so it's already well on the way! I guess it will be another week yet before I am ready to run it.
Then I'll book in for a tune on the dyno. <i></i>

Don,t expect too much at the drags straight away.I went backwards with a best of 10.5.The bike is totally different to ride and wants to lift by 6k with a full tank and leaning forward.Throttle feel to match the clutch slip all have to be relearnt.I,m now of the belief that anything above standard busa power needs to be on a lowered bike to acheive lower ET,s. <i></i>
