Well. Bike was struggling to go above 120 since the oil change.
Was waiting on the fumoto before i get that drained out.
So i read online and the raves on how much better the bike sounded with the snorkle removed. So Since it was a reversible modification I went ahead.
I sprayed the damn uni filter with WD40 equivalent and that shit started swelling up the foam. Dammit I had to dip her in a pail of water and washed her out with detergent. Thank god it was still alright. Have to get that $10 can of PJ1 at chong aik. $20 is just too damn steep for a maxima. Realising the wall of the air filter was filled with oil and dirt, I decided to lightly towel dry the filter oil before putting her on. Perhaps next time ill stick a double sided tape in to see if she is filtering fine.
Rode that way for two days. Bike sounded like a turbo charged vehicle sucking in for air. Really cool but performance was really really bad. It felt like no gas after 80km/hr. Even pick up was slower. Since I had the snorkle with me, I decided to clean her up. Damn the amount of road tar with 200 000km was ridiculous. Had her back on the she sounded a little different. Like it had a mini turbo. You can feel the vibration from the air box. Felt abit paranoid it could be my exhaust. I guess its from removing some kinda flap which increases intake noise.
My last top up gave me 21km/L.
Not bad at all.
