'HONDA - STOCK AIRBOX OR NOT'

Fear My Twin said:
Holy shit.

I just went out to my CB500t. Sure enough. That was my problem the entire time.

Honned out with a dremmel and all is well. I was using the tall K&N cone filters, built for bikes but with that internal rubber lip. Completely restricted air flow to the jets.

Thanks a ton!
glad to help
 
unfortunately, that didn't work in my case...I'm still running a foam prefilter inside the pods.....
 
I have found that if you go to pods (Iv'e only used K&N) the only carb mod is raising the needles one notch (lowering the clip) on cv Mikunis to richen up the mix. If a header is also added then I've gone up one jet size and reset the needle to stock...just my$.02...never had dead spots.
