My hybrid runs an uni clamped to the carb. No air box for me.

Jetting required for air box delete?

Rich.

Also, only use when in safe environments.

CrustyOreo · « **Reply #5 on:** August 08, 2013, 08:02:24 am »

So I'll have to go bigger jets if I delete the airbox?

I Think I'll keep the airbox for now.

I run a uni filter with the stock airbox/lid removed on my 87 250.If you ride in any wet or muddy areas leave the airbox on imo.

Am I supposed to keep the air filter casing thing and just replace the element?

Rainman56 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 08, 2013, 08:24:16 am »

Yep.Carefully pull the OE one off the plastic cage and install the new Uni.Make sure you have the uni oiled as well.Highly doubt you,ll need to rejet.

I don't think the PO gave me the cage

Whats PO stand for?I,m not up to date on this shorthand lingo.The cage is the plastic piece the OE filter is wrapped around.The bolt that holds the filter on goes through the center.

Did you get things figured out?

CrustyOreo · « **Reply #14 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:46:33 am »

I checked one of them it had the cage. Gotta inspect my other two

As stated before make sure the filter is properly oiled (filter oil not motor oil) Also, I always like to apply a film or wheel bearing (or any type) of grease to the bottom lip of the air filter. by bottom lip, I mean the 3/4 inch wide part that makes contact with the air box. The factory filter set ups are not the best and dont clamp on, so the grease is an added measure of insurance to keep stuff from going under and around the filter.

Or Probation Officer?

My 87 runs better with the airbox with UNI filter, no lid. This is because I don't let the weather decide if I'm going riding or not.

Uni in stock air box with a "custom" (jerry rigged) lid (and soon to be Uni vent plugs) for summer

No lid for winter.
