Can anyone tell me if the auxiliary air boxes are meant to have a plastic tube covered in thin foam inside when you remove the snorkel and cap? Mine have, and are each held in place by a self tapping screw randomly placed, also someone has drilled 10mm holes all over one side of each. :icon_scratch:
Not as far as I can see in the manual..... Some riders who ride in very 'inclement' conditions have commented that it is a good idea given the less-than-ideal placement of the snorkels, adjacent to the rear wheel.
No.
Some put a "Unifilter Pod" as a prefilter on the stub (the other side should be blanked) If you want a cheap prefilter use an old pair of your wife's tights, or your own if that's your thing :icon_wink:
I`ll say yes!
I believe they are some sort of noise filter which are meant to keep the noise down.
I`m sure i`ve read that on here somewhere.
My left hand airbox has one fitted, though the right side with the cap fitted hasn`t got one.
Have a look here.

:iagree yep that's what it is intake noise control
and only the uncapped side had it just like rf9 says
:icon_scratch: had 4 different boxes apart and found nothing inside, I've been short changed :icon_wink:

Ha, in this case the fool added an extra one to the capped side - and another fool driiled holes in them! :icon_scratch:

I would have to sacrifice my own as hers have more holes than the the foam inserts :augie
