Default Air filter replacement

Thought i better check the air filter while i had it apart changing the plugs, thought it would look new since its only got about 2,000 miles on it, i was wrong, it was NASTY, has to be hurting performance kinda nasty! I contribute this to the ram-air, but anyway, more money spent on ebay, might as well change the oil and brake fluid while i'm at it....


so have you checked your air filter lately? maybe ya should , especially you with ram air bikes

Nice thing about pods. Can see how dirty they are anytime I want.

depends on the type of weather you were riding in-awhile back we had alotta fires, put lots of ash in the air. if you cant clean the one you got, when you buy a new one make sure its a cleanable one, bmc and k&n are highly recommended by most ppl, i got a bmc race on my suz


fleck-put some velocity stacks on that thing, wont have to worry bout cleanin pods again

Probably 6. But they wouldn't make it that far, I'd be ripping their little heads off first.
