  • In some ways maybe, but in other bikes, the snorkel faces downwards towards the front wheel, so not sure if that's it's main purpose. I still wouldn't remove it though.

    Someone might chip in, but wouldn't the design act as some soft of ramjet as opposed to sucking everything in?
    There's always a debate about it, but with EFI bikes, I doubt removing it would make any difference apart from a raspier intake noise.

  • Took the bike for a spin a there is a noticeable difference to grunt / acceleration. So thumbs up for that DNA air filter and cover.

    I will look into a solution so the water does not run into it. Probably cut milk bottle & tape type.

    Also fitted a raft of parts I had purchased and not yet bothered unpacking.

    Including:
    Genuine bar ends (bike didn't come with them)
    Side covers from S2 Concept - they look good and finish the bike.
    Gauge relocation bracket from S2 Concept - puts the gauges higher & forward so less looking down.
    Rear Puig pegs in black
    Wind reflector from Hurricane - like the Yamaha one but in black
    Passenger grab rail from Hurricane - nice fit and although ugly, less ugly than other brands.
