airbox

Do you guys have any tips for installing the hose that connects to the rear underside of the airbox? It's a pain to try to wife my fingers far up enough between the carbs to push up on the hose so it slides onto the airbox. Even pulling up on the hose, it oy stretches maybe 2" above the...

Just thought I'd share with ya'll a list of mods I did to the airbox. So I have a K&N filter (single large type) and noticed that there is extra lip around the area where air enters. Remove the faux tank cover and look at the airbox. On top of it, there are screws holding the actual little...

I am swapping Stage7 with Morley's kit, i can't install the airbox, the big wiring harness on the front (that goes on the right side of the frame towards the rear or the bike) push the airbox rearward, so it cannot match with carbs.. I cannot move the harness a lot and i don't know/remember...

I recently purchased my first Vmax, an 86 model, and it was missing quite a few components including the airbox. I purchased one through Sportmax and it came with the box, two sets of 2 hoses attached to metal plates, 4 large rubber boots, plus two plastic connectors that go between the 4 large...

My F150's air cleaner slides in and has a clamp that hinges on the top and curves over the cover and you then snap it down. I was looking at doing something similar to the stock airbox. No matter how carefully I put it on and hold it down to tighten the clamps, it will not stay tightly seated...

So I'm trying to determine the cause of oil that leaks down the left side of my engine. I managed to locate the source (pic attached) but don't really know what could be causing this. The rubber pods, if that's what they are called, are brand new so I know that's not the culprit. I have tried...

Do I need to convert to Stage 1 or other jets if I remove the airbox and use individual K&N air filters? I have stock mufflers with no Vboost (i.e. Vboost all the time). Currently runs great but would like to improve performance while maintaining stock mufflers (would be happy to modify stock...

Hi everyone, this is my first VMAX. Today when I started it at a friends house I noticed it back fire into the airbox. I tought nothing of it at first but when I put it into gear it back fired in to the airbox again. It did this about every two min and continued untill I got the bike home. To...

Hi guys I noticed that with the honda Nighthawk that i had e few years back and my Max that when you mess with the Air box the bike runs like crap.I had snowmobiles years ago and a 1972 chevelle that I changed how the air came in to the carb and never had a lean condition or engine choking for...

Two questions lol At the front underside of the airbox there is a provision for a tube, the clymer says to fit said tube when reinstalling the airbox. I do not have the tube lol. Can someone tell me what the tube is for and where it is supposed to go? The crankcase breather tube that feeds...

so my max smokes sometimes after a long ride from the rear of the airbox. im assuming its the hose at the very rear but i cant get it seated properly. anyone know what this is and how to fix it? in a possibly unrelated note after a long fast ride on the interstate today i came home and...

Does anyone have any pics of the inside ? I'm going to get the kit but as I am going to be fitting a 2/3 scale Scott charger hat and base I would like to see if there is room for it. cheers fells

I have a bone stock 2005 Vmax. Has an annoying stumble in the 2500 rpm range, and may be associated with a quiet backfire from the left exhaust pipe. More like a burp actually. After that, on up in rpm its fine, seems to be worse under hotter/more humid conditions. I suspect the airbox is a...

It is not easy connecting this hose to the airbox before connecting the airbox to the carbs. Mine is too short. Is yours? Has anyone replaced the hose with a hardware store hose and if so what size hose fit for you. I want to replace mine and add a little length to it for easier...

Hi all. I've just ordered my 4-2-1 UFO system to replace my cobras. But before I send it off to be setup I was wondering how to modify the stock box as I'm now pretty skint. Also what's the most cost effective way to match my fuelling to my exhaust? Thanks guys

Just wondering how many of you guys run your max without the airbox cover and if you see any or no difference in the way it runs. I bought my 93 a few weeks ago and the airbox cover was not installed. Is it a big deal or not. Thanks (pic below)

This is surely a newbie question but that's okay cause I'm a newbie:biglaugh: Anyway, I for the first time opened up the airbox on a my newly purchased 97 Max and I found that the filter was splashed with a red oily liquid and a puddle of the stuff had formed in the corner of the airbox...

My Max's airbox release key was missing when I got it last August. The PO rigged up a wire to the latch, and release is effected by pulling down on the wire. I'd like to fix that by getting a replacement key, or maybe a new lock, or maybe a...?

Just ran across this on eBay: ------- New Combo listing: Eliminates stock large air box! You get a set of four "4" individual air filter pods with clamps & a crankcase breather. Filter size: Low overall height= 3-1/2", chrome base= 3" diameter, chrome top plate= 2" diameter, filter area...
