bro you need to add a separate posh filter for that. your talking about the hose that comes from the left side of the engine? yeah, i changed the hose to a longer one and made the hose go over the engine to the other side just under the radiator with a filter. you will gain HP for lower end power.

SEE THIS TIP.
3. See that engine breather rubber pipe from water pump that connects to air box? Unplug it from air box, then close the end of the rubber pipe with an after market air filter (small sizes usually priced about USD 3.75-7.5 per pcs) and tie it using cable tie to secure position, and close the hole on the air box using plastics or whatever u can use, theory based on 4 Stroke Performance Tuning book by A.Graham Bell, the saturated air on your filter box from the engine blow by robs a little bit of hp, the reason they connect it to air filter box is because manufacturer must comply to government environmental rule.

it should be connected to airfilter too.
it sucks clean air from filter then goes to exhaust.
for reburning of gas...

yahh i've tried to remove the snorkel, but it turns out producing that 'air' burrrp sound hehehehhe and the air is not focused to the air filter element.. just as precaution to prevent water got in when washing.. to find best compromise between air volume and safety..
no wonder its called snorkel, to prevent water from entering :)
here in philippines, weve got someone drive his bike to a flood
as deep as the seat of his bike. but still was able to go through
no water entered in the air filter.

For all new members who haven't read this. it helps.

Hi guys and gals, just wanna compile some tips and tricks, if you have a good tip ur welcome to add it on this thread. Here's some from me :

TIPS FOR those who already upgrade block to V-Ixion block :

1. Dont forget to change the Cam (stock vixion cam / my super cam) followed by pilot jet stepped up to #22,5 and Main Jet #105/110
2. Carb change to MIKUNI TM24, TM28, KEIHIN PE 28, PWK 28
3. Change CDI & ignition coil

COMMON TIPS:

1. Dont install the lower cyl gasket, use threebond sealer instead, then check ur valve clearance, is the piston still within safe clearance from valve at Top Dead Center (TDC) position and not collide with valve by rotating the crankshaft counter clockwise 4 times (to the top position marked at the cam sprocket)
2. Take off the decompression assy on cam sprocket.
3. See that engine breather rubber pipe from water pump that connects to air box? Unplug it from air box, then close the end of the rubber pipe with an aftermarket air filter (small sizes usually priced about USD 3.75-7.5 per pcs) and tie it using cable tie to secure position, and close the hole on the air box using plastics or whatever u can use, theory based on 4 Stroke Performance Tuning book by A.Graham Bell, the saturated air on ur filter box from the engine blow by robs a little bit of hp, the reason they connect it to air filter box is because manufacturer must comply to government enviromental rule.
Race bikes use an oil catch tank to solve this engine blow by thing.
4. DONT over fill the oil, it will torture ur engine, optimum is at medium level (for Auto Clutch) and 95% position (for Hand/Manual Clutch).
5. Valve clearance
Performance Setting 0.10 (IN) - 0.13 (OUT)
Fuel efficient setting 0.12 (IN) - 0.15 (OUT)
6. Take off the choke if u rarely use it, helps a bit at high rpm.
7. Change the stock air filter to K&N, or use yellow foam side from old VEGA air filter element and modify it according to the size of stock air filter assy.

i was able to talk a the mechanic of one of the member hawkeye135
and he uses his t135 in circuit racing...

he installed 32mm carb
and got no airfilter..
i tried his bike, and its really fast!!!

They also removed the decomp assembly already tip#2

and true to what haen is saying yes removing decompression
assembly or they call it locally as "Compression Release" will really
help because the mechanics explanation is, for some reason
there are times that this decomp assembly stockedup and wont work
the way it should be thus releasing the compression....
and loose power..

soon i will do that... and will show pics...
on how to do it.

really great help your info haen!!!


hey... traxx... have you already tried this?? :d coz i already tried a circuit cam and it doesnt have any decompression assy. but i have treid it in a stock cam.. and im about to have my bike tuned and i just wanted to know if its ok to remove it. thanks

OTHER USEFUL TIPS : TO IMPROVE AIRFLOW


i found this trick helpful, stock rubber hinders optimum airflow..
as for me, it really add accel on mid to upper end...

please modify ur air intake rubber like this pics (tailor it to ur needs),


modify stock air filter to foam filter..


after cutting the lower part of outer intake rubber,


upper view for us to compare, too bad this is the only intake rubber i got, so i can't compare it to before modification view


another view


INNER intake rubber, cut it as much as you like, this is my first cut step, i plan to expand the hole a bit...
How about this one? hehehe

its possible to install TPS on aftermarket carbs like vm26.
you need to fabricate some brackets.

the idea is the TPS should move together with the throttle cable.
find a way to do that...
