do i need a chip and if so which?

It appears to eliminate the severe restriction in the bend of the normal inlet pipe and according to 'speedmachine' it works well.

If it works as well as he reports then it would appear to be by far the best value for money improvement to the intake airflow.

Truly confused here.
The photo looks like an enlarged stock hose, cant really see what is going on at the air box connection, and something carbon at the intake end?
It does not look much like the 'Lennies' on my bike!
Would someone like to give a careful explanation to a slow observer. Thanks.

Pictures would be better - but here goes.

He has cut the stock snorkel in half - after the restrictive bend around the corner of the battery. Then he has connected (with difficulty apparently) the stock fexible hose (or middle section) to the remains of the snorkel.

The flexy hose now runs only half way along the tank. At the moment there is no forward section

The bit of carbon fibre you can see at the front is, I suspect, the front mudguard!!

Although 'speedmachine' says that it was a tight squeeze, I would certainly agree that he has more than doubled the smallest cross sectional area in his intake and that must be a good thing!!!

thank you, sandbar

someone actually understand it,, it's not perfect, but it does actually work. It isn't finished yet still need to connect the front pipe working on it at the moment. But now people can see a picture of it, so they can improve upon it the whole idea is to keep it as cheap as possible.
PS sandbar your explanation is so much better than mine

I also wanted to do the air box mod that carbon one that they all rant and rave about. But £300 is too much, so I decided to get my air box and cut in half and used the middle piece as the air intake

Couldn't understand a word of the description til I realised you meant you'd modded the induct to the airbox, not the airbox itself. Thanks Nigel good luck with revving to 9 grand.

Speedmachine,

So how did you fit the mid part of the snorkel back to the housing over the air filter?

I recently serviced my bike which has the "Lennies" carbon snorkel, and I found the filter blocked by leaves and other large bits of debris. I think I might adapt the front of the snorkel with some chicken wire or something, to stop large bits of debris entering, but hopefully without restricting the air flow significantly.

Cheers,

Paul

He didn't. The bit missing is the first half of the snorkel. The second half is as normal and fits onto the filter housing in the normal way.

All he has done is eliminate the severe restriction around the corner of the battery.

I would be concerned about increasing the airflow on the s without increasing the petrol supply. With the BBpower chip and the afore mentioned Remus my bike was running very lean (regardless of which setting the chip was on) on the dyno. Many of us will remember what happened to Malc's bike

Having said that, adding the K12 pressure reg, Lennie's and the Laser system seems to have done the trick, 95k miles and still going strong so something must be right

Hi Paul

Save your self the hassle and buy a SJ filter all the crap just drops to the bottom.

Hmmmm. Let's see... SJ Power filter & shipping at approx £100 or a bit of chicken wire at 50p. Tough call...

Paul,
I just happen to have an SJ filter sat in the garage feeling quite redundant at the moment, Perhaps you would like to offer it a new home!!

Regards Peter.

Removing the cat code plug - even with the laser chip - makes it noticeably richer throughout the rev range on the dyno!!

That is as well as the K12/GS pressure reg, K&N, Laser and XS welding cleaned from the exhaust

If Paul doesn't - then I might. Quanta costa??

Thanks Pete. It's a kind offer, but I think I'll pass.
