Airbox Question
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I JUST BOUGHT A YFZ AND IT HAS NO AIRBOX JUST A CUSTOM MADE K&N FILTER FROM PACKARD ENT. IS IT GOING TO BE SUCKING IN HOT AIR? IS THAT GOING TO HURT? AND IS THERE ANY TYPE OF HEAT SHIELD OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT?
I DID PUT ON A PRE FILTER ( HE DIDNT HAVE ONE ON)
ANY COMENTS WOULD BE HELPFULL

I wouldnt think it would suck in to much hot air, that area looks pretty open so I bet it will suck in alot of cool air as you are riding. I would be more worried about it getting water and mud on it in wet conditions.

You're good! I've been running an open airbox setup similar to yours for the last 2 plus years. I have never seen a filter that long

yes i know the fiter is hudge, i called k&n so i could find a pre filter for it and they told me they custom make it for dennis packard racing. for jetting i dont know, it has a lectron carb and i have never played with those before so im trying to figure it out.

I was wanting to do a simlier setup. Iam running the stock air box with the lid off with a UNI filter. I was worried about the same thing about water/mud getting threw the filter. I most worried about when I washed it.
