Any body else ride in the snow??
i was out about a week ago and i was wipping some doughnuts and my 4wheeler felt like it wouldn't rev up when i stoped it just killed. So i took the seat off and realized that my K&N power lid was almost compleatly covered with ice

.
i poped it off and it ran fine after that, But my friend who has a Z-400 with a HMF slip on couldn't get his to run right at all whenever he stoped, he would have to rev it up or it would just kill.
any body else have this problem??
and what do u think is causeing it?

hey there I have an 03 z400 with a T-4 slip on and the air box lid removed. I ride in the snow all the time I have never had any problems. I just let it warm up for about 10 min before getting on it.

Its the jetting. The jetting might work fine in the summer but with the colder temps you have to change the jetting.

try to get some foam in between all the holes so the snow wont build up in the ebgine or around the carb
