K and n airfilter

[Scottt07]

I bought a k&n off some guy on craigslist new. Only thing is its the type where u eliminate your stock air box...
It goes directly on to the carb.. has a shockwears on it..
Is any1 else using this type? My blasty is bone stock even the crappy muff is still on...

????

havent but thats called a 'pod' filter... you will need to re jet your carb even just by running that

 

[yb200]

here is how my pod is set up......its a good idea to run a 5" piece of pipe after the barb then the filter.....and you may need to cut your stock air box out...and deff need to rejet

 

[Scottt07]

bigger jet? how much bigger would you think?
im no good at suggesting jet sizes

 

[yb200]

stock is 230 so maybe like a 250 and do a plug chop

 

[Scottt07]

Is there any way to get around the plug chop? lol
it kinda looks tricky...

 

[yb200]

just put a new plug in and ride it for a while then check the plug it should look cardboard color on the insulator

 

[Scottt07]

oh ok.. i was talkin about the part were ppl are cutting the threads... haha
i think ud have to be precise with that..
if i was to throw on some boysen power reeds (stock cage..)
would i have to jet it even more from there?
Whats the point of the piece of pipe extending the filter away from the carb tho? yb2000

 

[yb200]

you should not need to jet any higher for the reeds

the purpose of the tube is for air velocity or whatever makes the air go in to the carb from one straight point instead of all directions...idk if i am making any sense but i try

 

[Scottt07]

i put the k&n on directly to the carb. and the bike runs alot better no more bog. I used to nail it and id get a lil bog... now it just dips out...
still rejet? it might be running lean???

 

[yb200]

yeah go up atleast 1 jet size if not 2.....leave it how it is and itll blow sooner or later

 

[Scottt07]

yea.. makes since.. what type of pipe did u use? metal sprinkler pipe?

 

[yb200]

i have a trenga racing tube

i believe its 2 1/4"

any type of tube will work

 

[Scottt07]

I dont want that!!! haha
thats y i figured id ask someone on here...

 

[yb200]

you will also need a rubber boot to connect it to the carb like on the pic i posted

 

[4cfed]

you can go to menards or home depo and get everything in the plumbing second, rubber boot, and pvc pipe, or get a section of exhaust pipe

this is true just bring along your carb and filter so you know your getting the right size parts

 

[Scottt07]

so stock blaster jetting is a 230? it doesnt change depending were its sold?

 

[yb200]

nah they are all 230

 

[Scottt07]
