YPVS TONE Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Think you will find it is supposed slightly damp with two stroke oil or air filter oil once it has been cleaned and dried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard rs200 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ok thank you first classic bike iv had simple things like that I have not got a clue but anything else I'm generally good with I think LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted August 28, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2013 Oily damp, as previously said. 2 stroke oil. What ever you do, don't forget to to up the 2 stroke oil reservoir with some good stuff - not 4 stroke oil though!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YPVS TONE Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Personally I'm with Airhead on this and I would leave the standard airbox and filter on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard rs200 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Cheers for that guys just a thought but think ill leave it as is just got some filter foam but its rubbish so iv got to find some thing better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Nothing wrong with a Kn filter,but as said don't remove the air box to install cros winds rain ect will all efeect the way the bike runs,with a bit of work they can be installed inside the air box on a old girl like yours.If you air flter installs with a centrla bolt and wing nut dril a hole in the k&n and mount it,job done in minutes.If not then think about how you can hold one in place inside the air box I'v seen alot done different ways,alloy tubes with a flang to mount it on ,tube screwd to the air box and sealed with foam.Custom made aloy air box with a top flat style air filter from another bike.original air box moded to accept a flat style filter where the mettal lid fit on then all the other hole's closed off so the only air comming in is filtered. There is always a way to fit 1 in/with the box if you think about it and you shouldn't need to re jet,but if you fit one then a quick plug chop will tell if it's needed,normal just a bit of tuning to the carb is all thats need move the needle up and some moree fuel with the pilot screw ect.. The air box keeps the air flow ballanced and thats the ultimate goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard rs200 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Some good info there dt502001 thank you going to have a proper look and see wot I can do the filter foams iv been getting I wouldn't use on my mower never mind my bike cheers for that hopefully will be sorted soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 No problem, Richard,, when you sort it post a pict,other's might need the info of how to mod thier box. Also look at car filters for size fitment,if you chose to mod the top of the box. Some of the jap cars might fit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted September 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 12, 2013 yeah thats not a bad idea to find an easily available filter that will fit, have you got the old filter so you can make comparisons of size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
