    Okay, so I have the DJ Stage 3 kit, and now I really need to decide if I'm going with pods or a stock airbox. I found a stock airbox, but it is missing some things, whic will probably total ~$120. My original plan was to go with the APE pods which are ~$75 shipped. So, as far as reliability, driveability, and varying weather conditions go, which should I choose? I'm not concerned about power. I Just want the most reliable option.

      Go with the airbox if you want the most reliable option.

        That's what I figured. I just don't think the time invested with pods is going to make me happy in the end. I want to be able to ride in a downpour and crosswinds.

          I've ridden pods through a hurricane, no problem. Just sayin'.

            k&n also has the warranty. i personally use a k&n in every vehicle i drive. i don't think that either the kz1000m1 or the gs650g will get pods. the only reason i'd go pods is to gain more space under the seat.

              Just out of curiosity, what do you plan to do with all that space under the seat?

                So once I re-build my carbs this weekend, can I test them without pods or an airbox on? I would love to hear her start back up, but I might have to wait even more :/ I know in order to tune it I will need the airbox connected, correct?

                  What would testing it achieve when you know it will not run right until you get it back together properly? If they have compression, fuel and spark, they are capable if running. How about getting all the necessary maintenance and adjustments and parts in place so it will make proper noise when it starts up.

                    Patience...

                    I've had to exercise more of that in the last 3 months with my "new" old bike than I've had to in 17 years of riding and 4 other bikes.
