Twosmokerfan:
I will post the results.
Ylwgtr,
I will still send you ignition as promised so you can compare.
Ok?
TSF
ylwgtr:
great idea!
Twosmokerfan:
Well, initial results are in. My KLX500 needs air, and more than the standard air box can give. Now I know some of the more knowledgable among you will say "duh", but this is a learning exercise with some r&d along the way. I thought I had opened it up enough.
The klx airbox is too restricted in the midrange. More playing to follow. Looks like I am stopping at the hardware store on the 6 hour drive home to get some hole saws.
Ylwgtr,
This might be worth looking into to get some of that missing power on your klx
ylwgtr:
yep i been there mate i cut the whole top off the box.....did you run it with the side cover off?Or was it still struggling with it removed?
Twosmokerfan:
Yeah mate. Side cover off and seat off to get max airflow. Huge difference. It was run with the seat off and then with the side cover off. Massive gain with the cover off. I need to modify the rhs of the airbox to simulate the air flow. Final test done with seat on and side cover off. I will scan the charts when I get home and post the starting point and the final superimposed. Well with the 18 dyno runs.
