Renegade Airbox fitted

#1 Post by Falcoholic » Fri Mar 30, 2007 8:29 am

Fitted it last night. Very easy and simple modification to do. I installed new spark plugs and fitted Evoluzione plug leads at the same time. Not had chance to go fer a spin yet but I will be out to give her a blast tonight.
What can I expect? Is there a settling in period for the ECU and chip to learn that things are a little different now? Will it just roar off wrenching my arms out in the process?

Cannae wait :smt025

Snot a box Gio it's a plate. Just clean your air filter and re oil with a good quality air filter oil.

See?

Some of us are helpful :smt006

Right I can get the cleaner and oil for £9.99, quite reasonable I thought :smt001

Boy oh boy!! :smt035

What a mod. No more lumpiness, frees up the engine, growls like an angry bear and sucks like a $10 ho'

Completely addictive. :smt020

Done 400 miles or so this weekend into the border lands and I'm really really impressed.

:smt005 :smt005 Glad you like the new mod! What did you do with the breather pipe? Did you route it down to the chain, or fit a breather filter?

I've no idea what Falco9 did re that, but judging my the oily nature of the chain I'd guess it dumps onto it :smt003

Just routed the breather pipe that came with the kit down to the front sprocket and cable tied into place. All tucked away tidily.
