Coulple of questions from a newbie of this site:

Just bought a K&N today for my new 2005 sportsman HO.Do I have to rejet my carb?

How should it be installed? Leavethe air box lid off, leave the lid on, or take the air box out completly? Please advise.

Thanks,

Should be very well oiled.. they make a recharger kit that u need to have

the lid should stay on

no rejet is necessary [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I will try this on my wife's 04 Sportsman 500 or in her case Sportswoman. I don't need it on my 800 EFI. I had it on my 03 Rincon and I found that the starting was easier. Not sure if it was because it helped or that Hondas tend to run lean. Anyways, I found even more performance when I took out the flame arrestor in the exhaust muffler and inserted a wider pipe http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...QQcmdZViewItem and jetted the thing one step richer.
