lots of induction noise, especially when fitted with a tank raising kit

Ok I'll rephrase: There will be no benefit at all to the airflow from raising the tank on a K3 onwards bike, but you may get a louder, pleasing noise. Also note some people have reported that without the snorkel water can get into the airbox and air filter.

So there's no danger of it running lean? Would that only happen if you fitted a better air filter?

I would doubt it would have any meaningful effect on fueling on it's own.

No? Groovy, might give it a try

what about rain/washing the bike, is there is more chance of water getting to the carbs, or not?

Nah... It'd still need to get up the side of the airbox then in through the filter on the carbed bike, and if that's going to happen then raising it 15mm will make no difference

then it shall be done

this what I got:

green: open MIVV can, tankrisers, foam removed.
red end blue: open MIVV can, tankrisers, foam removed, K&N, dyno-jet, holes in filtercover.

what I want to say with this: 72bhp is not bad for that setup me thinks... it is probably a combination af the can and the tankrisers.

now I have 77bhp (camswap mod and Akrapovic full system) with a rotten chain and sprockets so expect 2-3 bhp more.

Yep, sounds about right... Mine was knocking on 78 with undersized mains and humid conditions. Then add in the dynojet random factor

29-10-06, 06:48 PM
