So im new to this bike. I got it for next to nothing and it was sorta maintained. Anyways i have changed the oil and getting ready to do the brake fluid and coolant tonight. Well i took the fairings off to see what i was working with and So far im missing one fan the right one and some stuff is zip tied. I will go buy the bolts and new fan but what caught my eye the most was the torn t-shirt zip tied around two holes just below the tank. Any ideas? I will get pictures up later tonight if no one has a solid answer. Thanks

 

If your missing an air filter I have a UNI I will sell you for 17 bucks plus shipping...

 

I already ordered a new air filter. Thanks anyways. I do see that your selling a radiator to someone else thoug. Do you happen to have the brake side fan for our bike?

 

Brake side fan, what do you mean? And I still have the radiator...

sounds like somebody ripped the large rubber 90 degree tubes off of the airbox and zip tied a shirt around the holes so the air filter wouldnt get as dirty.. I could be way wrong but from what you describe thats how it sounds.. are the holes in front of the airbox?

 

Im pretty sure that is it. I took it to a bike shop to have them look at what it could be and they said the same thing so thats what im goin with. haha Any idea where i can get some new ones? or could i make them myself?

 

God bless the Internet. **** like this makes my day.

Anyway, they're called a "snorkels." Sometimes you'll see it called "Ram Air Duct" even though it is nothing like a Ram Air system,whatsoever. People will also confuse it for the DAI system on the F3's. Here's one on eBay:

Thank you very much. It was a cheap bike and when i saw that i was like WTF is that? haha

 

Damn, i thought my bike was jerry-rigged. That torn t-shirt prolly gave that baby +2 HP. The Zip ties help the aero-dynamics too ;P Downward force and such.
