ST-L Air box removal

[900Dave]

Halfway there!

I looked at other pictures of this but really just how complicated could BRP possibly make it. This was a lot more of this stuff than I originally thought.

Not installed. I just sat it on top to see how it fit and looked. Need to run to the parts store and buy some sealant. Simply amazing! I could not even see the engine with the panels removed before I removed the airbox. I will finish up on Monday night and give it a try Tuesday.

How is the heat?

Oh you suck :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I know it has not been that warm here in the east over the last week, but how has the heat been since you did the air filter & side panels.

My comment was to Chupaca for having so little to remove. lol


We hit almost 80 over the weekend and bike did real good.

I don't have any fume spell any more, I haven't noticed boiling gas, and so far it is definitely cooler on the panels.

Of course warms up a little in heavy stop and go, but I don't get stuck in much of that. :thumbup:

Update

Went for my first ride today since installing JT's air filter. Good news is that is was also the warmest day we had in two weeks 75 degrees. I would normally start smelling the fumes from the evap canister above 65. First thing I noticed was the intake was a little louder under excelleration than I thought it would be. I will get used to it. After a few miles I noticed the engine temp gauge was only at 4 bars? Normally above 50 degrees I am at 5 bars AND I would also feel some heat on the left leg. In stop and go traffic the temp went up to 5 bars but would drop back to 4 after a few miles of continuously moving. I did feel some warmth on the left calf but it was not hot like normal. On the way back the low fuel light came on and still no gas fumes. Less than half a tank the fumes used to get really bad. So far this is looking like money well spent. Next week they are forcasting weather near or above 80 I will look forward to riding in those temps to see the outcome.

Nice :thumbup:


If the extra noise bothers you... I hear that changing to a K&N filter stops much of that sound...maybe change it next filter replacement.

I waited to reply to get more seat time. I have not noticed any significant increase in performance. There may be a little but it is not really noticable at least to me.
