would it be a good idea to rejet if i remove the airbox lid...

[Lorduss]

would it ?
after i cleaned it today i fired it up and drove it up the driveway, watching it idle after i got it up i thought hey ill try to see how it gos without the lid on, so i removed the seat, took off the lid, tested the throttle response, Wow, way better, much more crisp. deeper sound to but with the seat on it well be muffled a little.
if i run without the lid on is the change the fule mixture enough to want to rejet ? or does it lean it out to be a little better but not quite to much ?
im thinking about cutting out a huge portion of the lid and glueing a screen on to keep out sand and the big stuff.

thanks guys

wow!!! dont people read other posts before they start new threads????

Simple rule... if you increase the air flow you must increase the gas..done...

Do a search for "rejetting" and I am sure you will find what you need.

A #150 main jet should do the trick.

No you most likely don't need to rejet.

I don't know what these doods are talking about. Your bike is a 4 stroke, its not as touchy about jetting like a 2 stroke would be.

If you having backfire, its sluggish, a plug thats white, or some other sign. Than you would need to rejet.
