Hi Everyone,
Just researching some information on my bike (1999 GSXR600) and come across a post off some other site saying:
"One mod that is quite good is pull the crankcase breather hose off the back of the airbox and stick a mini K&N filter in it. Tie it to frame with the pipe as vertical as possible. Block hole in airbox with silicon. This stops all that warm crappy air goin into it! good for 1.5-2bhp on a normal day! Only downside is sometimes at lights you might wiff the oilly smell a bit but never too much really. "
I guess what i want to know if its true and if theres any detrimental effects from doing this? I like the idea of keeping the warm/hot air out of the airbox....but am wondering if its going to make the bike bog down in certain rev ranges or any other crazy stuff (loss of power etc)
?
What do ppl think? Please don't flame me if this has been asked before -- i did a search and couldn't find anything on it.
Cheers,
Rob
