nc29 ram air system

[1bikerb0y]

alrite lads n ladies... new to the site! im converting my bike from race back to road.... its got a RAM air system in it and big jets, so i was just wondering would i NEED to put an original air box n new jets in? any help would be appreciated.. cheers

Hi

Most guys run K&Ns with the jets up-rated. so the short answer is no.

However, if you want to take it back to factory, you'll need to down jet it. (unless theres an aftermarket exhaust. The engine might need more fuel to balance the backpressure from the exhaust, check with the manufacturer of the exhaust)

Hope this helps



PS welcome to the site :)

ram air is no good on the road. subject thats been covered several times in the past

swap the air box for a OEM one, pop a OEM or K&N in it and you will have to get it all re-tuned.
sell the ram air/jets on flea bay/400GB to help pay for the tuning....

rule of thumb.. if you change the air filter and/or jets and/or end can/headers
your safest bet is to get the bike re-set up for what you have just changed.

its not much of a ''system'' just 2 hoses goin from the top of the box into some sort of link feed goin to the carbs.... hard to explain ill take a pic of it.... il prob just plug the holes or somthin...
