Run airbox lid with K&N filter? need reply quick
A salesman just told me that to run a k&n filter in my foreman 450, I can't use the airbox lid. I go in a lot of water and need a sealed airbox, can I use the lid or is he just pulling my leg? the way I took it was that the lid won't fit with the filter. what's the scoop? thanks for the info.

I have no problem putting my airbox lid on my 400ex with the K&N, but I am not sure about the foreman. One thing you can try is to put in the K&N and cover the airbox lid w/ duct tape (if possible) when you are in wet spots.
Good Luck~

That salesman is a dumba$$! Of course you can run the lid on it. It is the exact same size as your original filter and a guy would be stupid not to put it on! I have buddies here that run K&N's with the lid on and it fits no problem on both their 400 and 450 Foremans and I plan to do the same when I pick my 450ES up in the spring.

thanks guys, I ordered the k&n power kit anyway. I called the guy back and he said that in order for the dynojets to work properly, you must run it without the lid for the bike to even run! I said it's a matter of re-jetting right, and having a good air/fuel mixture ratio. He paused for a bit, and I finally ordered it(best price around, the guy doesn't like selling aftermarkert, it's genuine honda parts for him!) what he said doesn't make sence to me. I know I will get it to work good. I also ordered a supertrapp IDSX exhaust. This is my friends foreman that I am fixing up for him in my college outdoor power equipment course, terrible rattle in the stock exhaust. anyway, thanks.

You can definantly run the K&N with the lid in place, I have the same bike and works fine for me. Salesman sounds dumb to me!! I haven't touched the carb either and bike runs fine. Good choice on the exhaust, thats what I'm ordering for mine shortly as the factory piece also has a nasty rattle.
That 2nd snorkel sounds like a great idea, I'm ordering mine after work!!
