Hey,
Straight to the point:
1985 Kawasaki ZN1100 LTD B2
I was looking to change my Kawasaki air filter with a K&N OEM replacement. Murray’s Discount Auto got wrong filter so I have paid for the general replacement from K&N (RC-0984) containing four separate filters for each carburetor which was easy to get and Murray’s was cheaper than EBay ($110 including tax). SO here is the problem:
I do understand I have to take out my original air box compartment in order to be able to install these filters (which by the way look cool). WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A VACUUME SWITCH HOSE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE ORIGINAL AIR BOX COMPARTMENT????!!!! From my manual it looks like it (vacuum switch) takes filtered air and throws it out through headers to help stop backfire when decelerating. My thought on it:
1. Could I just ride with out it (take the whole vacuum switch out)
2. Buy small filter that would attach to the hose (but it would be pain in the ass, as I don't know what kind of filter to get (size)
If above thinking seems stupid just disregard it and let me know your thoughts. I will be working on putting these air filters this weekend (06/19/04) so help would be much appreciated.
P.S. Is there OEM rear turn signals that are available in stores near me (Chicago N. Suburbs) for my bike?
Thanks and happy riding!!!
People in cars give bike riders chance particularly new riders. I cannot display stupid green leaf so just take it easy.
