ive just removed the snorkel and changed the air filter. my question is, do i have to adjust the a/f mixture for this kind of mod?mine is all stock except for this mods..

for me removing air filter for daily service use is BAD.
your engine will breath lots of dirts.
why not try removing the snorkel of your airfilter just like carltobeza did.
its easy to remove and put it back if you want.
@carl
just experiment bro...
try 2 turns

its not recommended to remove the air filter coz dust will go inside the engine and will make a bad effect later. I suggest you keep the engine intact and other components except for the exhaust pipe. changing to a good exhaust will give you more power. for pick up, better change to a bigger rear sprocket.

nice knowing that we are of help..one of my friend mechanic said that yamaha mc has small snorkel meaning little entry of air..as you take out the snorkle, more air will enter so it also means more power. The engine is not suffocated anymore because you remove the snorkel. Our carb is a diaphragm type so it means that the power of our mc depends on the air that enters to our engine. IMO

please speak in english sir for the convenience of our fellow forumers..by the way, snorkel is a rubber thing located at the top cover of the airbox..in the service manual, it is called duct..you can remove it through forcing it out because it has a rugby on it..

To all who have tried this set-up...please give some feedback so that others who havent tried this will know..
By the way, removing snorkel is more efficient when you have good pipe and no limiter cdi just like REXTOR CDI (pm bro traxxas for the cdi :lol: )..
