Most people today ride without the airbox lid.... what's the difference if you rode with it on?
I personally ride w/o it, I'm just wondering why do most people have the lid off.

I figured I'd get this...... I was wondering what's the difference if you ride with it on or off. Not who rides with it on or off -- sorry for the confusion.

More air to the motor without the lid, or you can go one step farther, and get rid the airbox all together like I did.

Racing and riding.... ehh mostly dusty conditions
So with more air allowed into the engine.. does that give you speed/ acceleration? anything

Ok man, here it goes... You ride with the airbox lid off you are increasing the airflow to the carb and engine... As a result, you re jet your carb to compensate for the added airflow meaning more gas is added. The basic formula is more air + more fuel = more power!! Add on a full exhaust and the motor can fully breathe and create power at its potential...

I also ride with the lid off, except in the winter.. just rember to also pull your drain plug. So if water does get in it just drains out.
