I have just purchased a MC18 NSR set up for racing. Was wondering what best set up for filtration for carbs. It came with bare carbs with just an empty air-box sitting on the carbs with no lid on it! I have had to have carbs cleaned and checked by shop as they used to leak fuel everytime I run bike and turned off-leaked out of forward facing cylinder all over bottom of fairing and out onto concrete. Technician found the pilot jets were blocked and float levels in-correct. All back together now and no more leaks and runs better-starts better. I was looking at putting a pair of Uni pod filters on the bike to give it osme protection from sucking in rubbish. Would like to ultimately put these in a closed off air box and feed air from front of bike into air box-to force colder/ more dense air into engine. Someone suggested just have empty airbox (closed off) with a panthose hose stock material over the airbox intake.
What are your thoughts?
