Hi All,
I'm currently restoring an NC23 CBR400RR-K Tri-Arm for a bit of project as it seems a pretty good bike to learn about bike mechanics on...
So, my (first) question is, what does an airbox do? (Aside from housing the airfilter!)
What effect will removing it and putting air filters directly onto the carbs have on the engine?
From reading MCN I understand that your modern sportsbikes (R6 and the like) get a performance increase from their Ram-Air airboxes by forcing air into the ignition chambers, but what about older bikes?!
Is an airbox a necessary item? Does it have any effect on the power of a bike?
Me, confused?
Please help?
