DeeJ Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I have put a universal cone filter onto my bike, its a 125 4 stroke.The original air box was leaking in water and I cannot get hold of an air filter for it anymore, and just cutting foam would not work because if the shape and design if the airbox.Because I have put a cone filter on now, it of course draws in too much air and is not letting enough fuel in and so bogs down and mis-fires but is still rideable.Would putting a bigger jet in the carb give it enough fuel to run properly?

kja.busa Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 You'll need to rejet as Frank says, how come you can't get an airfilter for it? What age and make is it? Quote
DeeJ Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 Its a 1999 Kymco Stryker, and the airbox was knackered and was not sealing. So now I have a universal cone filter, and to restrict the air flow until I get a bigger jet, I have made this;http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n281/djowen01/IMG00111.jpghttp://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n281/djowen01/IMG00112.jpgIt actually works and sounds mental now for a 125 4 stroke.

Guest Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 well thats ingenious... i've recycled Red Bull cans as starter motor covers on Bandits/GSX, but not used one as an airbox.. Quote
DeeJ Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 I'm going to make a 2 stage foam filter in a beer can next.With a cold air feed going to the front of the bike Quote
