ok, so I pull off my airfilter lid to give it some extra hp, right?? Hah.. didnt realize the filter was held in by the lid, finished riding.. and filter was flopping around.. i dont think it was like that too long though, anyways, now i put on a k&n, screwed 'er on top.... and holds good.. so, anyways, make sure ur airfilter is secured if you take your lid off..

Get a Pro-Flow K&N kit, comes with an adaptor so you don't need your lid and you get alot more airflow with the bigger filter.

im sure i will be investing in one soon, but the money is lacking once i make the bank payment on it... I'm sure some of you can relate to that.

I did something like that when I got mine. I just slammed the lid on after inspecting it and took off. The following weekend, checked the filter and it was off and very, very dirty. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Hack the crap out of your stock lid leaving only the surface for the clips and the front portion that holds the a/f.
Now thats cheap HP

raptorjay is dead on! I believe new lids are only $12.. cut the back end off and keep it for the really wet days

I coped down the side so the front half was held on with 4 clips, and the back by only 2. Kinda like a horse shoe shape. Then jetted to 160-165... I also lowered the clip one, but will go back up now that its warmer.
