I plan on removing the lid for increased air flow. Do I have to remove the snorkles and then plug the holes. If so what do I do with the tube that sticks into the left side snorkle hose? What is that tube anyway?

 

You don't have to remove the snorkles. If you do and don't plug the holes, you'll get more dust & dirt in the airbox.
Some owners have had problems with the seat sucking down on the open airbox.
The hose on the right side is for the crankcase breather.
Guys who remove the snorkles put a small filter on the hose and attach it (zip-tie) to the frame. These small filters are available from AutoZone, Checker Auto, Motorcycle shops, K&N, etc. Same goes for the other side which is the carb breather hose.
I isolated my airbox altogether and run a clamp-on K&N directly on the carb.
My airbox is now my tool storage box.

 

So should I leave the snorkles on?

 

Leave them on for now.
Next time out, run without the lid and see if it makes a difference.

 

Removing the lid will require re-jetting. Since you have the Dynojet(K&N) needle and jets, you will need to put the needle clip on 3rd groove from top (stage3 instructions instead of stage1), and go up on the main jet one or two sizes. You will not get the performance without jetting.
Removal of snorkels is strictly cosmetic - no gain with or without.

 

Thanks HT, I havn't gotten the Jet kit yet, I ordered it on Monday and it still hasn't come in. I have installed my RWR CDI and my Graydon Pipe. The bike sounds and runs awesome untill I really hit the throtle then I get a slight popping noise. When I remove the lid the bike almost stalls.

I can't wait till the kit comes in and I get that bad boy tuned in. My tach should be here today.

 

You need to jet that bad boy way up. The popping is because it is runing way to lean. I would put a 185 main jet in to start and go from there. I run a 190 with the carb mount filter and ran a 185 when I had the K&N in the box with lid off at 4000 ft. Happy jetting!!!

 

Thanks DSal, I'll start with the 185 like you suggested. It doesn't pop real bad but it does pop. I've never done any jetting before it doesn't sound hard so we'll see how it goes. Any suggestions? I researched some old threads and got some ideas so that will help.
