Hello guys I have an 01 K-5,what are these holes on each of the boxes used for and do you supposed to kept them open or one of them closed or what ,can somebody help me,thank-you,John

martinfan30:
Seems to be for riding in areas with lots of water. If you lay it down, the box wont fill with water as quickly. I leave mine closed. There seems to be enough open area under the seat for incoming air.

Johnniespeed:
I leave mine closed too, engine revs up fully with full power, so I leave them shut.

KX500freak:
as for i think and experienced,the holes closed is way less dirt on the filter.
but it can hold water out to..
but for sumo i even removed 1/4 of  the airbox to allow more air in.

JohnJr:
Hey thanks for that quick info, after I got it home I noticed that they were open,have to buy a book.Peace my friends,JohnJr
