richard100t Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I just finished installing k&n pods on my RM :!: . As it it snowing right now I cant ride it to see the difference However it does start much easier than before. It sounds louder/better And it seems to rev easier than before. Unfortunately I had to do most of it in the dark tonight with only a flashlight so I cant really get a good look at it until tomorrow night after work. For anyone who wants to do this, its pretty easy...just know that there are 2 allen head screws on either end of the airbox that you will need to remove to get it out That took me 15 minutes to find in the dark lol I'll take some pictures soon and post them. I havent seen any Rm's with that mod yet here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Foster Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I just finished installing k&n pods on my RM: 44850[/snapback] I am also tempted by this mod. Please post some pics as they always encourage me when I see them. I second you on that snow/cold weather deal. This time of year the days drag!

I second you on that snow/cold weather deal. This time of year the days drag! 44853[/snapback] It may well be worth it :!: That airbox weighs a few lbs...gone. My bike starts almost immediately in the cold....something it wouldnt do before. The sound is pretty cool, its like you can really hear/feel the engine sound without that airbox in the way. I cant wait for a chance to ride it. Ok I'll update you later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I love my pods, a lil bit harder to put in than others (my tank aint as easy) but it sounds better does rev a tiny bit better and the look is bad arse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeBenGuzzi Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 thee, ru1200's or some odd number I'd have to go to the garage to be sure. they are the conic shaped K&N's with the chrome topcap(for a touch of class) they were harder because of the external fuel pump and ect. Didn't appear to be as easy as pull off hose and remove. I got Gas All over the place I think I might just be too impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to close the gas knob thing on the tank side first lol. Putting the filters on was like butter though wasnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Yeah once I got them on with the extender tube (as not to be in the way of the fuel stuff that doesn't affect later models) they slid right on like a glove and look great I highly recommend them to all.

They make the tank look even better w/o the airbox. It even makes cleaning much easier, not to mention adjusting the rear shock is a snap. The bikes are as much art as function....I prefer not to cover the frame/rear shock & such with plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
