well, I've been pickin' individual brains over the past few weeks and now I guess I'm going to make it public and get more insight on the matter.
'01 that I'm looking at doing the work on as far as carbs are concerned.
jet kit/airbox mod/K&N/port boots/timing advance/muzzy exhaust--
I started to disassemble the bike to put the new body and decided to crack open the airbox to see how bad I was looking. to my suprise, I already had a K&N filter installed w/o any of the mentioned mods.
I looked on rt/lt side of the carbs and I still have the plug inserted where the mixture screws are located -- so I'm assuming that nothing has been done in terms of a slip-on jet kit.
Elevation is about 5200ft for day to day riding but I can get up to 7k+. Here where my query starts.....
since I'm at a higher elevation, what are the affects of having the K&N filter installed without any of the other mods? I know that if I were at a lower elevation, I'd probably be feeling the effects.
I'm slowly learning my way around the machine, and looking for some of the basic principles as why increased airflow at different elevations impacts the performance of the bike.
I'll start here and let the topic grow as I have a better understanding, or as others chime in....
.....plus it'll benefit other who might have similar questions....
Thanks,
Adam
