    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Does anyone out there know or have tried changing the air filters and housing? If i remove the original air filter box and but 2 say K&N
air filter units on do I have to rejet or readjust the carbs.
I know on some of the cars I have had in the past the more air the better,
does this have the same effect on the bike's or is it adverse ?

Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks
Gary
 
Re: AIR FILTERS

Yep, rejetting will be needed. Pod filters will move more air. Whether or not its better depends on what you're aiming for. Pod filters when jetted properly tend to help out the top end and thin out the midrange (when compared to the stock setup). This could make the engine 'peaky', it'll also be a little noisier - the stock setup muffles a lot of the intake honk.

If you're not really into jetting, the easiest you can do is buy a Dynojet kit and the appropriate K&N filters advised for it. Follow fitting instructions carefully, work as clean as possible. In 99% of the cases you will gain power, torque and a bit of noise without hassle.

Also, be carefull. I put pods on my 81 without re-jetting and thought it was running fine with just a little popping on the deceleration. Turned out I was running way lean and I burnt my exhaust side cam seats- I assume because it was running hot.

It was decieving because it had more get up and go when I installed the pods- I thought it was all good.
