Just a warning for all of you who have removed the snorkel assembly from under the seat. I ran through some standing water today and when I got home I had water in the air box. I don't think any water got into the engine, but if I had the snorkel in place I don't believe the water would have gotten in there. I have put the snorkel back on. I may get into some rain on the way to ES.

Properly treated (new) K&N filters should ward off any moisture, unless submerged while "breathing" is taking place.

I'm thinking it would really take a good drowning to get through the filter but some of us just might experience such a happening.

Careful riding to all, and bring your best "pokin fun" attitudes for Flipper.

See ya.
 
If you're at all concerned about performance, the snorkel should be the first thing to go. it's pulling air from behind the bike - against low pressure. It must be restricting flow.
 
I might try pulling the snorkel this weekend when/if I get to clean my bike up from the trip.. Just to see what kind of difference there is..
