Hi Fellas. I've seen a couple of threads on POD filters but no one actualled seem to go through with it. I've run into an issue with the thread on the airbox (spinning in the plastic) after my SMS630 had it's first service. The dealer that serviced the bike won't replace the airbox and the dealer I bought the bike from won't relpace it under warranty as they didn't do the work. B@stards. I'm trying decide whether to replace the airbox ($80...not too bad) or install an angled 48mm (inner diameter) Uni POD filter ($27 + cost of crank case breather). I understand that will have to fabricate something up so the RH side plastics will clip in. Has anyone gone through with installaing a POD? How hard was it to make something to clip the plastics into and how did you do it? Cheers. P.S. I've the same issue with the threads on the tank...at least these bolts aren't really required as they hold the shroud on...pretty poor design.
I have a 610 carby, I did a uni pod, cut the side panel to accomodate, made a bracket for the rear master, gotta a cheap Auto Zone filter for the crankcase, looks like this... not sure if this helps with yer fueler. Those air box nuts really suck. The same problem led to my mod.
Any problems in the rain? I ride in all weather. As the throttle body is 45mm I'm guessing that I should go for the pod with the 48mm inner diameter....I probably should just pull off the TB and measure the outer diameter, but it a PIA to get the airbox back on. I just don't see the point getting a new airbox only for the samething to happen again especially since the pod is much cheaper.
