thanks, I'll look at the airbox port used for the air pump, and if it's protected, I'll route my vents there.
I was looking at that on my bike, but ran into the question of how much vacuum in the airbox, and will that cause any issues with the filling of...

If only carbs were as simple as well-engineered FI... Modern FI is a joy, but requires the right tools (computer). Carbs are a more complicated...
If, perhaps you remove all the lines that lead to the carbs, and cap this particular large one, you'll end up with a bike that only runs at full...
Last weekend I finally got a chance to get under the rear valve cover. I'll post some pics that I took, that allow you to see the adjusters and...
