Guest V11RossoNigel Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hello all Right I am thinking of getting rid of the air box and running filters straight on the throttle body, firstly is this a good idea ? Reason being that the tank is rubbing under vibration on the air box, and will in time put a hole through the tank. So my idea is that ditch the air box and run K and N filters. My first question is...... there is a sensor that goes into the air box what do you do with this? If running K and N filters direct onto the throttle body ? All info much appreciated. I am running the Ti pipes with the ECU supplied. Cheers Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabore84 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I guess you will need a new mapping for the k&n pods. You can move the sensor where you want, as long as it's away from the engine and in direct airstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard100t Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I did it to my Rosso Mandello. You will have to have it retuned because it will run too lean. Just zip tie the sensor out of the way. I love the look of the bike without the airbox, plus its much easier to work on it & clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look too but mine is loud enough for me as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ferank Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The intake noise wasnt very loud for me. I am also running the ECU and Ti pipes. Tuning wasnt necessary. It ran fine. Some people use a film container to protect the sensor. I used a plastic ear plug container (bit smaller). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard100t Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I put the pod filters on almost as soon as I bought the bike so I cant really tell you about the noise difference. I also wear a helmet so that filters a lot of it too. Besides my Rosso Mandello has the single plate clutch & its a noisy bastard anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest V11RossoNigel Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks for your input guys.....ferank nice picture, I cannot quite see but how have you fixed the pods, have you used some kind of stack between pod and throttle body, is it better to use a velocity stack or put pod straight onto the back of the throttle body ? Hey Ferank I see you are from Orange County....should you not have put extended forks on her and lowered the seat.... and maybe some 22 inch apehangers..... hey only joking. cheers Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I would fit right in either way! As far as my connection I used the same piece of plastic that connects your TBs to the air box. You should cut a little bit less than half off if you use the same K&N filter as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom M Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Here's a vendor that sells pod filters with integrated velocity stacks for the V11. I don't have them so I can't comment on fit or performance. http://www.sportcyclepacific.com/featureditems.htm Ferank, that's a beautiful low mileage Sport you have there. If you don't mind my asking, why are you selling it? Did you decide you need something faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal690 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hey guys, I'm also thinking about removing the airbox and going with some K&N pods, anyone know where I can pick some up?? Online retailers or local shops??? Also will the bike need any tuning?? Just running stock for now. Thanks, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quazi-moto Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The pods do look like the dog's bollocks, but after all my trials & tribulations with the fuel injection on my V11 I'll probably stick with the FBF lidless air filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ferank Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Any auto parts store that sells filters can order you the RU-0600 from K&N. Everything else you can fabricate yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
