Air Box Mod

[Vmax54]

Do you have to remove the entire box or does it come apart in the middle? Can you just remove the top part to do the mod, remove the panel. Also did you notice a big difference in performance. I had the gen 1's many years ago but this is my first gen 2 and I love it. It's a beast. Thanks for your help.

That forum unfortunately is not longer around. Lots and lots of info gone, damn shame to, it was dedicated to the 2nd gen.

Figures. So why arent more folks on here because this seems to be it? Thanks though for clarifying.

I can't answer that, but I know a few of those members came over here. Some didn't like this particular forum. Maybe like that forum not everybody knows about this one I dunno. But there was a plethora of knowledge on that forum. This forum is more for the 1st gen. But it's been more active on the 2nd gen side more now than it was 6-7 years ago. I went to the other forum before I bought my 2nd gen and did hours of reading on mods. Shortly after I bought my 18 it went inactive.

The 2 holes in the top can be skipped.

Here is a video.

You only need to remove the top of the box.

By the way, We are no offering the retaining bracket for people who don't want to fabricate their own. I also have some filters on hand (The blue versions)

Love the bracketing and the blue filters. Can you message me or email at [email protected] and I could order those items from you.

Sent!

What is the difference between those two filters? Which one gives better preformance?

 

[one2dmax]

They are both going to perform well. The K&N is more expensive is all.

If I haven't flashed my ECU and I do the air box mod/K&N will this cause a lean situation on a 2019?

Do you still have the stock exhaust?

 

[jmerry22]

Do you still have the stock exhaust?

Yes, everything stock and will probably keep stock exhaust. Looking at doing air box and ECU flash but didn’t want to do air box if it leaned out the motor too much. Still undecided about cat delete.

You'll be fine then.

I highly recommend the re-flash even on a stock bike. It fixes all of the "quirks" in the factory fueling.

Sean, are you using the retainer bracket so as to run with the top of the airbox permanently off?

Yes, that is correct.

Thanks Sean.
