What about a pipe! A UNI filter,and removing air box lid would be good too.

I would go with some aftermarket front shocks. Most people looks for good deals on used works shocks. That's where you get most of your speed on the trails.

I wouldn't take off your lid or drill it if you ride anywhere muddy. My lid was drilled by the p.o. the box always gets mud in it, I'm buying a CFM when I have the spare cash. Definitely invest some money in performance mods though.

I made a splash shield for the front of my air box. I ride dusty places with alot of water. Had no problems just gotta oil filter after riding one day

splash shield? could you possibly put some pics up of it?

 

[Herpderplol]

You should get a pipe before you buy anything else lol

Could do this : http://www.blasterforum.com/engine-13/cylinder-porting-diy-25773/
Slot stator plate to advance timing.

Be sure to leak test befor running and start with jetting on the rich side and dial it in

The first thing you need is a pipe because the stock pipe is the worst and post some pics!

X2 I:I I think the water I'm getting is coming in between the fender and seat on the sides. I clean and oil the filter after ever ride but so much water gets in the box that I have to pull the drain mid-ride sometimes, not worth it IMO.

I bought a outerwears cover, but I don't think it's too great. Probably wouldn't help much for blocking water neither.

I'll post one tomorrow is between the seat and gas tank simple

Seems to work well for water and mud

I thought about the front shocks but I didn't know what shocks are good for trail.
I wasn't plannin to take the air box off. My buddy's raptor doesn't have one and he gets water in it all the time. What's a CFM?

You can quote someone using the button all the way to the right and then copy and pasting the sentence you want to quote in the middle
It will look like this (quote)(/quote) then you have to put the thing you want to quote in the middle hope this helps.

I'm new to leak testing. I didn't know anything about it till I got on this forum. How do you leak test?

What's a CFM?

It's an after market airbox. Here is one: Yamaha Blaster Aluminum Air Box Airbox Intake CFM Performance | eBay
