    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...

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.

When switching from airbox to pods....

Are there vacuum lines connected to the airbox? I am working on a bike that doesn't have an airbox and am thinking to go with pods so I don't have to track down an airbox. I am just wondering if there are vacuum lines that you have to worry about when doing away with the airbox.

Cheers!
 
Hi Mr. mklang,

There are no vacuum lines connected to the airbox. On a lot of models there are a couple of carburetor vent lines that hang over the airbox, out of turbulent air. Check out the pictures here. Most of the time these are either plugged or routed somewhere else with small air filters attached.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
try to remember that if you go with pods your gonna have to jet.....

theres a few guys on here with spare airbox parts too... so they can be had for not too much dough
 
i know about the rejetting...that is why i am leaning towards a rebuilt set of carbs from wiredgeorge that comes properly jetted for pods and 4 into 1
 
I have an extra set of carbs, a set of pods to sell, and can help you do the jetting.
Wired Geaorges carbs will run but they won't be perfect until they get set up correctly on your bike, it takes time and effort.
Stick with airbox unless you want to take a lot of time to get it right.
They run better with airboxes anyway except for at max power at the highest RPM.
