i finally got around to putting the snorkel on my 420 last night.

after i got done i started the bike and put my hand over the snorkel to see if i got every air tight. well i didnt. i have a leak coming out of the air box somewhere. my guestion is do i need to silicon the 3 rubber gromets coming into the air box?

when i cover the snorkel the air box compresses and after about 10 seconds the bike dies. if i leave my hand on the snorkel i can hear a leak coming from the airbox. what do i need to do to get this working correctly?

 

it takes about that long for mine to die but i have no leak ...i all grease the pvc going in to the airbox and got a nice seal

 

i put silicon all around the pvc coming out of the box. i also put some on the inside around the rubber grouments where the snorkel comes in and around the filter one. i think i might need to put some around the sensor and i think there is one more on the left side(if your sitting on the bike). im going to check the pvc one morre time just incase tho

 

did you used the factory hose clamp that was on the stock snorkel

 

yeah. its tight.

 

what did you use in the airbox........here the link to the pics i took when i was doing mine it might help

i used silicon

 

What did you do with the fuel on/off? Just leave it on?

 

i put in on rev and took it off........its not a big deal you can still get to it from the other side with a little wrench

i waiting on my new hmf pipe now

 

my snorkel

i got the air leak fixed. it was coming from the sensor. siliconed it and no more leak
