High-Performance Yamaha Raptor Air Intake Mods morsunled.weebly.com
When performing this upgrade, take a few extra steps to ensure success. After removing the lid, inspect the airbox for any cracks or debris that could cause air leaks. Install the K&N filter carefully, ensuring the sealing ring sits flush against the airbox opening. Apply a thin layer of grease to the sealing lip to prevent dirt from bypassing the filter. If you ride in extremely dusty conditions, consider adding an outerwear pre-filter, which is a breathable fabric cover that goes over the K&N to catch larger particles and extend the service interval. Also, reroute the crankcase breather hose to a small catch can instead of leaving it open to the atmosphere, as this prevents oil mist from contaminating your new filter. Finally, after installing the fuel controller, take the bike for a test ride and monitor the spark plug color. A light tan or grey color indicates a healthy mixture, while a white or blistered look warns that you are still too lean. With the airbox lid removed and a K&N filter in place, your Raptor 700 will not only sound like a beast but will also deliver the exhilarating power you always knew it was capable of.
