In this video, I demonstrate a simple diy method to dial in and tune pod filters when installed on motorcycle carburetors. If you install pod filters on your custom motorcycle , bobber, chopper or café racer, you should make sure your fuel ratios and tune is correct.
For the advanced motorcycle engineer, the complicated carb kit mod method is here: • How To rejet for filte...

The troll level of this video is phenomenal
"That's bad-ass"
There are a lot of café racer dudes with badly tuned engines who have been crying out for this video ! You did it again.
To fine tune this even better I found if you clamp the fuel line with a vise grips and by slowly loosening the grip you can get the precise fuel to air ratio, also saving fuel too while still giving more bhp because of the weight gained with the visegrips
now that's something i have to try !
@@IchibanMoto loving your ingenuity what about a roller squeeze type clamp such as you see in the hospitals coming from IV bags and or it's just a roller that pinches the hose and you can have that to where it's easy access just a thought I never thought about pinching the fuels
what about partially opening petcocks that replace the old vacuum type?
instead of vicegrips
the rubber coupler trick completely fixed a bogging trouble I was having with a bike i purchased recently. huge thanks for showing this!
Idk how i got here but this video from 3 years ago just made my day.
last time I put a shaft trough a lollipop I had to pay child support for 18 years
hahaha !
better than getting 18 years...
I just spit out my beer! XD
LMFAO, you just made me day!!!
🤣😢😂😢🤣😂😢🤣😂😢🤣😂😢🤣
Your tools kill me every time lol
Besides being a great mechanic, this dude is subtly hilarious.
I love your sense of humor. :) Very good. Cheers.
I don't have quality production talent like you ... so I might as well be silly :)

To be honest, and from my experience on youtube, the quality production of videos is not so important as many people would think. As a viewer, i like seeing different contents with interesting things/ interesting perspectives/ and amazing sence of humor like yours. :) Cheers my friend
Man, you're truly the innovator of the century! You should patent it! I'm sure big motorcycle companies are watching your videos too to steal your work!
That's one sharpe scissors! 😃
indesencible...
spencible...
LOL You said it before I could LangerDan!!! Here's your 5 Ichiban Moto stickers!!! :)
The guy has like no tools and only broken repaied tools 😏
fishsticks
And manages to do a better job than most people with fancy tools
You take precision to a whole new level it's beyond precise.
Every video is so technical, I have to re-watch a few times to let all that knowledge soak in.
You nailed it again! Great job.
I just used a Coke can, and squeeze the sides more to restrict airflow. If I need more air, I just squeeze the other way to open it up more. Mountain Dew works if you have a yellow bike; it's important to look cool.
Loved your sparkling solder system... I thought that was the most Bad Ass thing I seen in a while. Can't wait to try this out on my Suzuki ninja. It sure will run well with this bit of kit. Thank you once again Ichiban.... I don't know what I'd do without your amazing step by step videos. One big thumbs up to you once again sir...
That silver solder technic is life saving!
out of 1527 views so far, I'll be willing to bet everything on that over 1000 of them have been factory motorcycle manufacturers, they're probably watching it over an over, to dial that in for not production models yet, their factory racing teams. So the mechanics can be on call instead of at the tracks, the riders can make those tuning adjustments as long as they too put the reference marks on the modifications. Good work Ichiban Moto!
Man I genuinely am afraid for someone who will take this literally. So well delivered you are a legend and there are just enough valid principles here I’m sure somewhat has legit tried this
I have tried it. Not the giant washer trick, but restricting air flow in the pod. 😅. I think it works.
Hey man…..😅😅. Where do I get these lollipops? Hey that washer is blocking the passages you just cut away with your scalpel.
Love the way you cut the bolt with a swiss scissor. LOL!
you need to watch more this old tony
Bad ass video. Very important information, especially for guys that live in Alaska. Good air flow is a must because as you all know, Alaska is moose country and moose dandruff tends to block air flow on all kinds of filters and radiators.
Finally a vid about cone filters that makes sense. Thanks for sharing. Really. 👌
the sparkler had me dying
OMG I had to go back and look at that one...!!! I zoomed in and thats what it looked like to me too, what I noticed 1st was that all of his tools look like they have handles made from tree branches or a wooden broom handle...I wonder where I can buy a pair of those little sizzors he cut that bolt with ?
looks to me like fake tools for the video. don't tell me he actually cut that bolt with those rinky dink scissors.
Hack saw most of the way through, scissors to shear the tiny slither of metal connecting it
The sparklers welding technique is fantastic. Can you do a full video on it and show your technique?
oh, of course !
I lost it at the sparkler stick welding. hahahaha
That wasn't Magnesium Solder ??
thermite
AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA...THERMITE?...almost made my piss my pants XD
So much gold in this video. Brilliant
I shall remember that technique for silver soldering with sparklers. I've seen a video about welding with sparklers, now this! Who knew they were so versatile?
I really have to find this Nickel Town Customs place... sounds bad-ass.
They have fantastic parts and customer service I shop there all the time. They have a lifetime warranty on everything in stock.
Love you sense of humor. You information/reviews are good too.
Like the scissors, hand drill, razor blade 😂 but seriously the cutting away the rubber inside the filter mount from blocking the intakes on carburetor is a great tip.
Man that silver soldering sparkler is badass!!!
It was great meeting you at the Nickeltown Customs booth at SEMA this year! Thanks for the stickers!!!!
I laff out loud at the tools alone ..... bad ass!
perfect timing! i'm going to install pod filters this weekend- it's like you have mind reading powers!!!
Oh my...that's just like a damper on a stove pipe! Great idea! Of course, I got a big laugh out of cutting off the bolt with those little scissors...
i banged my head rly hard until today when i found out that the rubber blocks the air inlets.. This video confirms. Cheers.
I was like What the hell is going on? 😂
The pocket knife scissors had me crackin up.
😂 I love your humor.. More videos please
Truly a man of self-made!
Pod filters are badass, and have never caused any problems!
A motorcycle buddy of mine had his Yamaha modified and he said to head to a specialist to have the head ported. They are located in Florida. When he got the head back, they had suggestions. One of the suggestions was, to use the standard airbox and standard air filter. Because, the science that goes into designing airflow through a motorcycle airbox, is the same as science that goes into designing airplane wings…The factories have worked it out so that their motorcycles with their airbox will out perform a competition.. Air boxes are designed to have a velocity stack effect. Back in the pre-1980s, there was a free launch to be had by changing the exhaust / intake.. those easy performance gains are not easy today. The factory knows more than you do, and more than a lot of aftermarket accessory makers know..
I remember one month motorcyclist magazine tested 13 different aftermarket exhaust systems, for each of the top four 600 Japanese sport bikes. that is a hell of a lot of exhaust systems. Each company had to submit 4 exhaust systems, one each for the Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha sport bike.
The results were surprising
only two of the exhaust systems made more power than the standard exhaust, and that was only in the 200 to 400 RPM past redline range.
The average horsepower loss with each exhaust system was 6 hp. One of the exhaust systems caused one of the bikes to lose 13 hp.. all of the aftermarket exhaust systems were lighter than the factory exhaust systems, and they were less expensive than a factory replacement. but the quality was not as good as the factory exhaust system, and some of them were actually poorly made, didn’t fit correctly, had less ground clearance, some of them made the motorcycles have hesitation just off idle.. some of the bikes good night maintain a steady cruising speed, and they developed surging and steady speeds on the interstates…
each of the aftermarket exhaust systems was much louder than the standard exhaust system, giving the illusion of more power.. two of the machines were actually slow down in high speed tests with certain exhaust systems on them, when shifted from 50 into sixth gear. The motorcycles would actually go faster in fifth gear than in sixth gear because of the exhaust system change…
The bottom line is, the factory knows more than you do. Leave your machine alone especially if it’s brand new, because you don’t want to void the warranty. Even if it’s out of warranty and you have problems, when you take it into the shop to have it corrected, they can’t find a baseline for all of the readings they should get, because the exhaust system has been changed, or the airbox, or the air filter, or the computer has been flashed. And if you have drivability issues, starting issues, surging, hesitation, how is a dealer mechanic supposed to correct things, when everything’s been changed. Where does he start?
if you are a road racing, don’t start out with a bike that has been modified to death, don’t buy a used road racing machine that is a Frankenstein, the jumps out of gear, burns oil, and has been tossed down the track. You’ll never learn how to ride if you have to keep wrenching on some clapped out dinosaur. it’s going to take you a year at least to learn how to ride on a race track. If you survive the first couple years, and you find that you are always at 100% on the gas, and the bike just is too slow, don’t modify your bike, buy a faster bike.. races are one by the person who is best on the brakes, who set up the corner for the highest exit speed, the guy who makes the least mistakes, the guy here that has the correct suspension settings. Those are the modifications you concentrate on, leave the engine alone. The factory knows more than you do
Cool story. Help me find a fully intact factory airbox system for my '78 GS1000. Thanks!
I cried laughing. Great welding technique and those little snippers are the best I have seen, must buy some. Great stuff, now I am off to re-jet my 1981 Katana 1100 using blue tac to stop the floats from moving once I have set them, otherwise they just leak. I tried putting the overflow tube back into the fuel cap but it kept falling out.
You are a genius ! I just now understand that those cheap pod filters are blocking the vents that lift the diaphragms on my Seven fifty... Stupid me.
i thought you might have run out of ideas and then you go out and do somthing like this.
and totally redeem yourself!
You are hilarious and cool. Laughed my cheese on toast all over my laptop.
Your scissors really kills me man, every time you bring it out. It's like PTSD in reverse.
thank you YT algorithm for this dope random video
Cool! “snuff-or-nots” on both ends!
As of this point I think I'm just watching your videos for your custom tools lol.
The comedy of this video is actual gold
The 1st time i see the video of this guy im amaze with the tools his using
I like. Not up to tuning it myself yet.
Very informative. Thank you.
LMAO, you always say that you gave them 5 out of 5 Ichiban Moto stickers and then you always drop in more than 5!
love the edits i used a ball valve when i snorkeled my lt230e 1 1/2 pvc and a 3in hot rod filter but had to much air flow so i added a costly pvc valve but with a bit of a turn it runs perfect and if the filter is wet or dirty open it more
Really ))), the point of installing pod filters is to increase the air-flow=performance, in order to do that you have to adjust fuel...what you r doing is something I did when I was 12 years old with my scooter :).
This vid was bad ass.
Quick to the point to the point no faking
Cooking other channels like a lb of bacon.
Hey I just want to say this is an awesome video, you did a great job keep up the good work. The look of the carburetor afterwards is amazing. I would love to see a video of a custom air intake manifold.
or you could just re-jet the carbs properly
noooooo buy a high flow airfilter and then restrict it with some washers *g*
Yup Why teach the wrong way....
maybe he jokes because he does not know the proper way to set up a carb.
ah, yea ....
This is the bestest tunerage mod ever, well besides the custome tuner mod where you drill air holes right in your intake manifold between your engine and carb. I like to run the pod mod on full "close" and run as many air tuner holes in my intake manifold as possible. Must be 3.5mm holes in order for it to work. OH, these work really good in your exhuast so you can fully tune it too. Key "tuner" secret tricks of the trade.
total bullshit comment, air holes on the runners to the engine will cause no vaccuum to suck on the carby to then suck in petrol, you need a headcheck posting dogcrap advice mate~~~
Absolutely excellent video. Worked beautifully for me. I hadn't used the silver solder electrodes before. They are amazing!!!
sure saves time
I'm new to motorcycles and carburetors and when I saw that I had to "tune" my new pod filters to the carb I was like "fuck idk if I can do this. Let's see." Took me well over half the video to realize I'm a fool. Good laugh. Thanks.
I miss you old friend. I hope you're doing well!
hey! Doing good yes, thank you for checking in.
working on new vids, not sure when I will finish them
Diamond in the dust. Awesome info I have never seen this anywhere all these years. Sweeeeeet👍
when I saw that soldering technique... I immediately subscribed, belled, thumbed up. and died.
“Badass!!” 😉
Damn TH-cam gave me this recommend video. I had to watch it with popcorn.
So basically... the choke?
dude dont sell the CB Americana! DONT DO IT!
Yeah lol
Laughed myself silly....awesome video! I'll bet some are actually trying this!
Shot some soda through my nose watching this vid. You Sir, are hilarious! Plus, a very informational vid as well.
Can't believe I missed this one.
Hehehe....
My first visit. Thought for a moment you were serious.....the wet myself from laughter. Good stuff!
welcome Morten ! thanks for watching and sharing :D
Would be extra badass if you could attack a cable or string to the adjustment pivot control. You could attach that cable to some kind of control on the handle bar, a knob or dial, something to twist when you need more power and turn back when you need less power. Just a thought. Keep up the helpful videos!
Now to make attachment cable to the handle bars, so you can adjust on the run.
maybe an old choke lever
Hahahahaha thank you for making my day with cutting and soldering!
It maybe old, but this is badass ! Legend 🙂
Amazing sparkler welding I tryed it on tungsten but didnt do much do you use a special technique
No joke I feel like the lollipop air flow tuner is actually kind of smart. Low key
Bro, those tools are hilarious, but your work and idea's are awesome. Good luck to anyone who attempts to cut a screw with fingernail scissors....lmao.
I made my bike work perfect with pod filter by mounting the carb angled. my optimal setup was 82.667 degrees clockwise. I just needed longer fuel line to reach the valve on the tank after this adjustment.
i call BULLSHIT
this is by far the bast video i watched all day today. :)
What's with this guys tools? 'Precision knife" 😂
Fabulous....I really must try the soldering technique used in this video
Hi, brilliant video, just the help I was looking for. Although the pods I have on mine are the angled type so they have a small elbow,
Upon checking, due to the curve of the elbow it looks like the rubber doesn’t cover the apertures like in your video. Or would I still benefit from marking and removing those pieces? Many thanks
Nice! Maybe you could do a video on how to build a Cafe Racer from any 250 Shadow or 500 Virago or 440 LTD just by cutting the back fender off and removing the front fender entirely. So Badazz!!!
@@wayne3340 I have fender videos
Another great video, that setup will actually work very well
HAHAHAHA ! You done good. Very good post. I have been trying to tell would be tuners this for years. Actually I never knew they were available over the counter, I just used to make them up on my own.
Lol, liked how you unscrewed the pod.
................lefty loosie :D
Wow! Awesome work, I've never in my life seen this done before 👍🏻👍🏻Just goes to prove you never stop learning! Do Nickel Town Customs do a kit to link all the cylinders together? A cable or computer controlled servo, like an R1? That would be Badass!😎🙏😊Excellent work as always sir, you are a tuning GOD!
@4:20 did you see this guy just trim a bolt with his pocket knife scissors? Lol.
I made one of your dial-a-pod setups for my bike, but now the carburetor is too long to fit! I think i'll need to cut some off the engine side of the carb to get it to clear my bike frame.
Just get some of those badass scissors he has, and be sure to de-burr it with standard diamond paper.
Lol. I was just gonna say that 😁 ( the scissor)
that is a powerful scissors lol
diamond blade shears !
Wow who need a Jetting change when you can tune air in to your airpod like a crystal radio, add some capacitors resistors and antennae we could hear radio stations nearby too!!!!
Wasn’t sure at first if I was getting punkd with the tool cuts at first but when I saw the sparkler I lost it😂😂😂 this variator for on tie go air fuel mix change could MAYBE work for someone who changes fuel ethanol for different tunes to race vs daily or I guess if someone was switching the same carb between two bikes just to pinpoint air fuel mix lol that all I could come up with love the video tho😂😂😂👍👍👍
Genius !! And your welding is outstanding !! :-)
Couldnt you fine tune a pod filter by gaffer taping sections of it up to reduce airflow to get the air to fuel ratio. EG if you need less air tape top cm of the pod, if you still need more tape up the top 2 cm of the pod
Yes that will work , but if your bike has the carby visible from the road, it looks queer as all get-out bro :) and you will need to tape up like 8/10ths of the pod at least - depending on how good it breathes , and chinese pods offer no protection at all LOL.
Pod filters looooooook so gooooood
I stuck a pod on an FT 500 and it ran great !
disliked this video but then went back and liked it.
thats a really good idea!! i cant wait untill this weekend to make the exact same one..badass!!
Love your tools. Very informative
