Thread: airbox covers

  1. #11
    My bike choked after I had the plastics painted the vent was taped because it need to be buffed still. I went for a ride around the block and it was struggling to get air.

    Thread revival! Not worth my own thread, so here it is:

    I just got a black airbox w/o vent at filler cap from an early model xb. Will I need to cut a hole and add mesh (or drill holes) around the gas filler cap if I want to use a non-vented airbox on my 2009 XT? Or will it get enough air from around the base of the airbox? Thanks in advance!

    P.S. 2009 xb12xt with Hawk, K&N, and EBR ecm.

    I put holes in mine. Not sure if it matters that much. I just figured the closer to factory the better. 09 uly xt
