2equis Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Someone I know took a scrollsaw to the airbox lid of their VFR750, cut a 6" hole in the top and re-jetted. Said he gained about 8hp. I'd remove the airbox and put K&N pod filters in before I'd hack it up with a saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 ..I'd remove the airbox and put K&N pod filters in before I'd hack it up with a saw. excellent idea. Dump the large airbox with ramair feed and swap for preheated air through pods. Heat is good :icon_wall: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in PA Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Come on guys....FIGHT NICE! I agree though, Honda in all their vast R&D did their homework, leave it alone and reassemble. Hmmm....Maybe an intercooler..... No leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I've removed the "bug catcher" grills in the front of mine. Black silicone your tubes to the box and stop up the drain holes for every bit of that HP giving pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 ...20 posts in over 3 years... way to contribute!.. looks like we touched a nerve there, eh? Anyway, I had the bike on mothballs for 3 years, hence the absence. Happy now? Relax, you'll live longer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2equis Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 looks like we touched a nerve there, eh? No, not really. Post smack around here and you'll get it back with both barrels every time. ...welcome back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exskibum Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 First thing to do is to read a bit about airbox resonance and how much modifying that airbox is likely to cost you HP if you aren't an automotive engineer capable of redesigning the system to make it work even as well as Honda's R&D did. Back a few decades ago -- before airboxes were such a well integrated part of the gas flow performance picture on bikes, putting K&N pod filters on a bike didn't hurt performance much (though it seldom really improved anything). Nowadays, all you're likely to do is screw it up and wonder why there are flat spots in performance and your buddy's Bandit is now kicking your Bird's ass.
