YAMAHA21 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 So I have the jets and the reeds are on the way but I'm wondering if it's worth buying the dt230 airbox snorkel instead of just removing the stock one. Does anyone one run their bike without a snorkel and is it okay? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted January 25, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 25, 2016 its OK but in my view they sound crap without the snorkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel smith Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 hi sorry for butting in but can anyone tell me the purpose of the snorkel? cheers nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted January 25, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 25, 2016 It's where the air is sucked into the airbox Nige, generally it is under the seat so you'd have to be riding in very deep water before it got into the engine...maybe that's why it's a snorkel ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel smith Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Cheers Paul so what are the benefits of removing it? Better airflow? nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted January 25, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 25, 2016 yeah that'll be the thought behind it but personally I don't like the induction roar ...better to fit a bigger snorkel, that's what I did on my DTR, got a photo , see the difference still have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAMAHA21 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 But is the air flow reduced alot by having even the bigger one compared to not having one at all? Would the jetting need to be changed if you decided to add the bigger one at a latter date. I think I'll just install the reeds and bigger jets and remove the standard one to see how I like it, if I hate the sound then I'll buy the bigger snorkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 When tampering [tuning] with a two stroke, I would fit a temp sensor [ trial tech ], andyou can see if its too lean[ HOT], aIRHEAD POST A PICCY, , they can save you a seizure, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAMAHA21 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'm planning on doing 2 fresh plug chops with the 240 and 250 jets to see which is better after I finish the mods. So if I'm running lean on the 240, I'll just go up to the 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
