Snorkel

First what you want to do is take off the 2 side panels and the panel on top of the gas tank (Image 1) using a screwdriver to pop the little plastic rivets, doing so will expose the snorkel (Image 2). To remove the stock snorkel, you have to remove one rivet (Image 3) and un-screw it from the air box (Image 4). After the snorkel is off, remove the connector (Image 5), and then stick it on the end of the Flexhose, and put silicone around it (Image 6). After the silcone has dryed, put the rubber connector back into the air box, and to make sure the new snorkel is clear of the head and exhaust, use a large zip tie to keep it up (Image 7). Next you will want to mount the snorkel, I used metal from an old clamp (Image 10) and drilled 2 holes (Image 11) and then used 2 bolts to secure it to my front rack (Image 12). Another way you could do it is to go to Radio Shack and buy a "CB Antena Mount" which will bolt on and then all you need to do is wrap electrical tape all the way up, but before you start taping make sure you leave room at the top to bend the snorkel over so rain water doesn't get in. For the bend, I jsut found some scrap metal and bent it into the shape I wanted becuase there really isnt anyhting you can buy. After the snorkel is taped up, the breather hoses (Image 8) have to be run up to the top of the snorkel. Use the clear tubing to connect to the white connectors, and then use zip ties to run the tubes up to the top (Image 9), for the carb breather though, you either need a small piece of tubing that will connect the 1/4" and it together (be sure to use electrical tape so it doesn't come apart), or you can use tubing slightly bigger than the tubing from the carb and just connect that, either way will work. If your bike is stock and you put a snorkel on it, go to your dealer and order a 125 main jet and install it, if u install the jet your self i suggest taking out the airbox and taking off all the connections and just taking off the whole carb, but be careful not to strip any screws, I had to use vise grips on some of them becase they were on to tight. If anyhting is unclear to you please email me at tfr_fmj@hotmail.com.
