hgravelpha@aol.com Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Just purchased some K&N pods (RU-1780). How do I remove the airbox? What should I be watching out for? I have a PCIII and FBF cans. The PCIII was dyno tuned by OC motorsport last year. Do I need to richen-up the mixture once the pods are installed? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Admin Jaap Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 There is a BIG difference between airbox and pods. I'd recommend doing a new dynorun. Removing the airbox is bolt off job. If I rember well you have to remove the tank to get proper access. And find a secure place for the airbox sensor. Good luck!

worthyperformance Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I ordered 2 RU-1780 filters but only one arrived and the flange inside diameter is roughly 55mm - certainly not the 52mm in the specifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 They should be plenty loose ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete roper Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Why do you think that swapping to pod filters will provide any benefit? I’d advise against it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Same here , my black frame had K&N pods when I bought it . Sounded terrible and just didn't look good. You can install them if you want..........but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmc28 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 my greenie came with pods (from PO), and i think they look good, and the bike ran/runs great in general, though perhaps is a little less than ideal in higher speed cruising. I liked how it exposes that rear suspension part of the red frame bike, but of course that’s all in the eye of the beholder. As a “sunday driver”, I liked it. That said, if i were to make it a regular rider or touring bike i’d probably convert it back to the OEM airbox, and said as much to the good guy that recently bought my Greenie. So I’m now looking for an airbox. i assume watching this forum and/or ebay would yield one, but that’s the question…. anyone have knowledge of one floating around? the fellow who bought my bike will likely join this forum, and is local, so thought i’d poke around to see if we can locate an airbox for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck finding a "take-off" V11 airbox. Turns out, chicks dig 'em. Although no one will say for what . . . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthyperformance Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Unlike the RU-1780 recommended by others, the K&N RU-1400 filters fit my 2004 V11 LeMans perfectly. $60 USD each 49mm flange inside diamter 20 degree flange angle 51mm flange length 102mm long overall 87x85mm filter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
