Title: Open air lid - Stock filter or King dragon? Post by: Jordan on June 11, 2008, 10:34:46 AM I ordered a cut air lid off eBay cheap (don't have the tools to do it myself and I like to keep all my stock parts) and it came with a "Ducati Performance" KingDragon air filter. Should I just stick with the stock filter or uses the Dragon?
Anyone know anything about it? Thanks. Title: Re: Open air lid - Stock filter or King dragon?

Be careful using it and the open airbox if you don't have "corrective" fueling in place already.

As a result, your mixture will be leaner than before you got to fiddling. A little lean will give you a bump in power, at the cost of higher temps. But this is a dangerous gamble since you're not sure what the right 'little ' is if you just start swapping bits around.
Too lean and you can cause damage that might be as little as burnt plugs and as bad as holed piston. Title: Re: Open air lid - Stock filter or King dragon?

I'll set my PC map to air box mod and slip ons when I get home. Can't afford a proper dino at the moment. :-\ Title: Re: Open air lid - Stock filter or King dragon?

[thumbsup] You can also add fuel easily on the faceplate buttons as well after you get a map that is "close". |
