    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Looking into airbox
IMG_1741.jpg

See the opening on left (rear) lower part of the air box.
Should there be some sort of 'snorkel' on that opening?
I recall that the 80 850G I had did have.
But microfische for the GK doesnt show any such thing (least not on sheet for 'air cleaner').
The finish of the paint around that opening seems to be differernt like maybe there used to be something there.
And if there is suppose to be a rubber 'snorkle', will it make much differerence if its not there?

I have the same air box and mine has a snorkel attched to the hole in question. Good luck
 
Dave, you definately need the snorkel. When I got my 1000 it did not have it and I ended up getting an airbox from e-bay. For now use some duct tape and close off about 1/2 to 5/8 of the opening size and you will run much better. Mine would fall completely flat from 4 - 6 RPM and run decent up to 4 and after 6. I do not have an extra snorkel on hand, otherwise I would send it to you.
 
looks just like my G airbox and i have a snorkle as well. i ended up using epoxy to keep the damn thing in place as it always wants to slip off duing installiation.
 
Mine fell off one day about 4 years ago, and have not replaced it since. I run a K&N filter and seem to have no problems with the way the bike runs ( all stock). If you can find one, and your bike is running "lean", then reinstall it. If not, either the duct tape method given earlier or just leave it off.
