Hey, all. I've got a Bender muffler and plan to switch to 3 small individual air filters instead of the stock airbox. I know I'll need to tune the carbs, wondering if anyone has some good settings for the same motor. 2000 SX700R.
Thanks, Tim

dont do it .heat build up is to high under hood never good if U trail ride.Leave air box on .Look at airbox mod on the tech page here.Drag race ok ,trail ride not.to much warm air to rich.You need cold air.warm rich cold leaner.

no jetting required for puttin can on with air box.crap shoot with filters .learn to read piston tops and plugs if u choose the filters no cold air with them
What is your reason for wanting to remove the air box? air flow? Are you looking for more horsepower-inexpensively, like in the automotive world?
The stock airbox channels cool air into the motor vs. with air filters you will be sucking in warm/hot under hood air ultimately making less horsepower. If you are looking to make more horsepower you may want to remove a layer of the head gasket or have your head milled 010-.015", which will require you to run premium fuel(along with the gasket peel). If you really want a boost of horse power it will cost you = the cost of Triple pipes.... T

Hey, thanks for the advice-makes sense. I was thinking the seperate filters would give easier access to the carbs for end of season draining, etc. It makes enough power for the trail/lake.

the "easier" access to the carb drain bolts isn't a good enough reason to want jetting nightmare and hp loss. stick w/the stock airbox, and just take a hole saw and add a few holes to the airbox lid and middle shelf. then, call it a day. of course you will need to rejet. depending on the amount of holes you added and the size of them, will dictate how much more jet size you go up.
