Custom Abuser
DO IT...this is, by far, the BEST mod I've done on any car or truck or bike.
It eliminates a high pitched whine that I used to think was a part of the engines internals...now I realize is the sucking from the snorkle from the intake.
Its easy...lift up the tank, you'll see the airbox with inlet. Cut off the inlet and maybe a little extra. Thats it.
There's a good tone difference as well, besides the disappearance of that whiney sucking sound. Also, HP gain. I thought it was mental from the sound but I'm sure now that I'm accelerating in faster times than before, with the same twist of the wrist.
edit: on hindsight, I dont recommend modifying it.
its not worth it and you'll be going outside the design parameters of Yamaha for peak performance.
