Title: Air box lid on a 400ex?
Post by: Crispy on December 21, 2005, 04:12:47 PM
So I have my new (stock) 05' 400EX and I was thinking about taking off the airbox lid after I get my HMF slip on pipe in friday, now just a few simple curiosity questions.

1). Is anything I should look for as far as problems after riding it with the airbox lid off.

2). Any problems that might happen?

3). I'm guessing I should wash the air filter after every ride with the lid off right?

And yes I do have a performance twin air filter in there right now.

Anything else I should know or be aware of?

Just jet it to run with the lid off. It should be fine. Clean it whenever you want.

those FMF dyno sheets are full of SH*T theres no way a stock Blaster has 10 horsepower and a warrior has 32?????? a blaster and a warrior stock vs. stock the warrior might be a little faster not 22HP worth though.

www.toomey.com shows the stock horse on a Blaster as 20and my friend told me that a warrior is about the same just under 20.
