with the airbox fitted you wont need the tape, the tape is a bodge to counter act the lack of airbox

Tape to sort mixture, the innovation around here is stunning :pmsl .

Reminds my of the individual K&N's on my GPz900. I put sports socks over 'em to richen it up cause some fool hadnt re-jetted to match the filters. Worked an absolute dream until they fell off. If it ran too rich I just had to 'pull my socks up'!!!

The japanese build em, we bodge em.

lol, it was only suggested as a bodge till he has an airbox..

M and P in swansea however .. taped up my airbox as part of a proffesional "dyno-setup" because

a) he didnt see the point in setting up a zxr400 trackbike anyway*
b) when pressed he admitted that what he should be doing was fitting bigger jets and lifting the needles, but didnt have any washers for the needles.



*phone call

me : hi i'd like to bring my zxr400 trackbike in to get the fuelling setup
him : why ? whats the point ? it'll cost more than the bike's worth
me : what ?
him : well, it wont make it any better and whats it worth topend ? £300 ?
me : whatever, can i bring it down for a power run, and i'll worry about the setup later.

He sounds like a bit if a twat.

Who cares weather its worth it or not, he supplies a service and you pay for it, simple as that!
