during the wet months,,,,i undo the lid clips,,,,remove the lid,,,,fold the clips in,,,,and place the lid on top of the clips

if i need to,,,,i can put the lid back on

The Z400 seat does a good job of protecting the airbox from splash. Unless you are submarining the bike to a level above the seat, you should be just fine. I haven't had a lid on mine since I added my Yosh exhaust and I do my fair share of riding in the wet. I run a K&N with adapter and outerwears. Not a bit of trouble. If you are in really wet riding conditions, just pull the plug in the bottom of the airbox when you stop for a breather just in case there's anything to drain.

Thats how I run my 400ex. I pulled the little drain out of the bottom, so the water that does get in the box, runs out.

Cut open lid on mine, not much lid left at all. I run a UNI filter, no problems.

Well, Lt80 paint project came to a halt [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] ggggggrrrrrrrrrrr
I remember why I hate buying used stuff from people I don't know.
This LT has had more problems.....Pretty easy fixes though I guess, I will get it done [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Found two cracks in the frame, dang it...........
So can't paint the frame now until I get them fixed up, ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

But I got the other parts painted. I used the Dark Blue (not very dark) Hammerite [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Looks pretty dang good [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
That stuff is just hard to paint.
Looks great when you get it on right, just takes some practice.......
