Air Filter

[RareMike]

I just replaced my air filter with this
Amazon.com: Outlaw Racing Super Seal Air Filter Yamaha YFS200 BLASTER 88-06: Everything Else
but i don't have a lid over it anymore...what is the lid for anyway? the one under the seat

The lid is to help protect from water and dirt. I hope you re jetted your carb.

yeah always rejet, plug chop to confirm!! and no offence but that filter looks like a pile o' crap you should have gotten a twin air or uni or someother good filter, that looks like oem basically

Oh I don't know about these machines so much so I don't really know whats good and what isn't. No, I didn't rejet my carb. Can you tell me how? So, I don't really need the lid per se? Also what's plug chop?

if ya read the details of that air filter, it actually sounds just like a twin air, but with the added special sealing surface,
and i have some outlaw racing products, they seem like they make good stuff ???

Plug chop.

Warm up motor to operating temp.

Fit new B8ES plug, ride through the gears and hold WOT in 5th or 6th gear for 10 seconds, or as long as you can safely.

Switch off the motor and pull in the clutch, roll to a stop.

Take the plug out and replace the old one for the ride home.

Carefully cut the threaded end off the plug to expose the insulator.

There should be a smoke ring of a cardboard or biscuit colour around the insulator.

If it is non existant or a very light colour, you are lean and require a larger main jet.

If it is a lot darker you are rich and may go down a size in main.

I prefer to run a little on the darker side, I may loose a little power but it is worth it for the peace of mind that I won't need a rebuild so soon.
