hpemk1 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've fitted a set of toomey t5s , to get the best out of them will I need to fit a k&n filter, or will my brand new stock filter and air box be fine with a rejet? The bike is completely standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastnline75 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 If you dont plan on running thru lots of mud an water then ditch the airbox an run k&n pods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughmyron Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I run pods through mud with no outwears no issues at all just have to clean them before the next time you ride. Pods make the bike ALOT easier to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpemk1 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I ride in a lot of mud and water unfortunately so I think I'll need to keep the box. What jet should I start off with on a standard filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uman1030 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Are you using lid on airbox? Stock box with lid and snorkle suffocate the hell out of your engine and it won't breathe well nor get the full potential of the new pipes will also be a determining factor on jet sizes aswell as temperature and elevation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpemk1 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm running a standard box but was going to drill holes in the lid or should I get rid of the lid altogether? I'm 275ft above sea level and its normally around 43 *F I'm running standard jets the main is 240 , should I go up to 260, also should I adjust the needle?
