Newcs222 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 If I jet for the lid off then I'll only run a bit rich with lid on. Can't hurt I'm thinking. Might foul the plugs. Well see how it goes Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Ok…..EVERYONE can do whatever you want. Free country. I simply stated that I can ride around in some pretty serious shit with pods. I've ridden in water deep enough to cover the tops of my boots. Granted, I'm not pinned in 4th gear…..but if your blasting through big puddles or large areas of standing water and you're doing it at high speed without knowing what lies beneath the surface…..well, good luck with that. Now a couple of quick points - If your bike is bone stock…..run the air box with the lid..…who gives a crap. If your bike has pipes….the air box lid will actually hinder performance. (In other words…jetting for lid off would need to be different than with lid on. If you can't feel the difference….than your jetting is off entirely) If your bike has more mods….the box itself and the filter design begins to be an issue. (Even with the lid off) If you have porting, stroke, big bore, aftermarket cylinders or any combo of those….the air box is a killer. So I'm speaking from the perspective of having NOTHING in my stable of Banshees that makes less than 63HP. So if I run a box on anything…..all the mods are a waste. If you have anything more than pipes…..the box is cutting into the power. If you are aware of that and don't care…..neither do I. Carry on boys.

hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Some idiot holes will fill with water after a hard rain "Idiot holes" I like that. I suppose if you barrel over a dune and end up in the drink you'd be considered an idiot, but on a 110*plus day they ain't a bad idea...

I agree and I avoid the dreaded box at all costs because I know that it does kill power I mean you're choking the air flow considerably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my mates go through rivers and the depth almost covers the whole Tyre and we've never had issues though we use a k&n with a lid and no snorkel. Hasn't anyone seen those videos on youtube where guys goes through rivers where the water literally is up to the seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcs222 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 If you ride slow your fine. I've learned that. I now have a air box and k&n filter with outerwear Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEE CHAOS Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I got my pods a bit damp in the snow and they literally froze over. It was too cold to be out riding anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willaduncan Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 yeap.. seen it happen but only when we rode in deep powdery snow... espercially when your spinning like a mad man and not moving anywhere anytime fast. espercially??

BANSHEE CHAOS Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) I accidentally might've splashed through some ditches that weren't froze solid yet... but the pods froze quick enough. Like riding with the choke stuck. I have a Pro-Flow too but what a bitch to get on the carbs!!!

swhitey917 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 All of my banshee's have been trail bikes and I have competed in quiet a few XC races on my old banshees. I ran stock air box with no lid and PD with K&N with outerwears and never had one issue with water and I have gotten my quad deep in river bottoms. You should be more than fine with the stock airbox with no lid. Just make sure you keep the drain plug screen clean so that water doesn't build up in your air box, seen this happen quiet a few times with kids not cleaning the screens.
