question about airbox, pods, and restriction

[TheCafeKid]

If you do end up using pods you really really need the Dj kit. The stock carb needles are not going work with the pods. Yes changing the jets is part of it, but the main thing in the DJ kit are the needles. The change the speed at which fuel is introduced to the middle of the rpm range which is where you spend most of your riding time. The stock needles are fatter with a slower taper and starve the motor in certain areas which depending on how starved it is, will cause surging, bucking or even severe hesitation. This does nothing to mention the damage internaly caused to the motor by running like this. Anyway, while some will argue and refuse to believe the years of research and testing that the fellas at Dynojet did to create these kits, after trying to jet these CV carbs by hand with larger jets and shimming the stock needles and even using Canadian spec adjustable stock needles it became quite apparent to me that the stock taper is simply to slow to compensate for all the air BEng introduced by pod filters. Save yourself the hastle and headache buy the kit, follow the instructions and happ riding!

I am not sure the 1100E matches up with the 83 GS750E ..

The 1100E uses the same box. You can probably find someone with an 1100 and pods that has no use for their box. Just don't show them this thread and tip your hand,

If someone was using starter spray on the bike it can distort the plastic. I bought a bike for parts that had been tortured with that stuff and it distorted the filter frame and airbox lid.

No they aren't. The 80-82 750 and 80-83 1100 boxes are very similar and interchangable more or less minus having maybe to change the boots but the 83 and on 700/750 is completely different.

You almost talked me into getting an air-box.

Ya, but that came from a guy that said that a 650 is all the bike you need

To own one is to know.

Yeah, but you haven't met Chef - a 650 is a moped to him
