    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.

Yeah sort of wrote the question in the title, I am thinking about switching from the stock airbox setup to a single pod per carb. I read through the forum and hear about alot of guys having to rejet the carbs. Is this always necessary or just with high flow filters ie k&n. also were is a good place online to purchase these parts. thanks 8-[
 
It's necessary to rejet.

I would not recommend from what people have said, it makes tuning a real pain and the hp/trq gain does not warrant the effort put forth.

I simple went for a drop in k&n filter and got the best of both worlds. Stock airbox, and high flowing filter.
 
I agree. To keep things from melting down, and to take full advantage of the extra air that would be available, you must rejet. As mentioned, however, the power gain from just adding the pods is minimal. The only difference you are likely to notice is noise when you open the throttle. Yeah, it's sorta like turning the lid over on the filter housing of the old 4-barrel carbs of yester-year, but I find that it gets annoying after a while.

I have pods on the 650, but I don't notice the intake noise so much because it gets drowned out by the header. :oops:

Heh Steve. I haven't thought of the quadrojunk lid flip in quite a while. It did sound pretty badas*.
