When I removed the air box on my 850, I noticed it did not have the snorkel on it. Does it make a difference? Bike is running good, plugs a very light tan on them. Should I try to find one? All opinions helpful, Thanks.

If it's running well, not too lean, it won't hurt to run without it. It is more of a muffler than anything else. Sometimes they collapse and block airflow so people remove them. -
Hi,
I have it on good athority (from "he who shall not be named"
) that the snorkel is not absolutely critical and your bike can run fine without it. I think the snorkel allows the airbox to draw its air from a better position inside the framework of the bike, a place that is less turbulent and farther away from the road for less chance of catching forgein objects. Carry on.
