i bought my quad used, its an 05ex400 and it was used for MX and set up for MX. i do mainly XC rocky and muddy terrain and i am not looking for performance just reliablity... so i am slowly getting it set up for my style of riding... bigger tires for ground clearnece, full plastics to avoid splashing etc etc...
so this weekend i go out up in HUnter, NY after two days of rain and hit up some moddy and puddly trails, it was a good time but about 2 miles into the trail we hit some big swampy puddles and got suck here and there... anyway i noticed my engine bogging out... realized i was takign on water.. altho the airbox was above water level. it turns out that while manuevering and getting out of the mud the, mud/water would kick up and bounce off fenders and make its way into my airbox....
so now i want to replace the power lid i have with the stock lid and get the stock snorkle to avoid this from happening again
(since this is the terrain i ride most of the time )
currently the quad has the following owrk done to it...
the motor has a wesico 11:1 piston and a hotcams stage 2, the rest of the quad has:
k&n filter and powerlid
hmf slip-on
fmf powerbomb header
my question is.. if i put back the stock lid and snorkle..
i know i will restrick airflow... but,
will i have to reject?
how will this affect the perfoamce of the quad if i do not rejet?
what are other things i shoudl consider before returning the airbox to stock...
thanks in advance...
