Hey Tom, detailed video, thanks for that! What did you use as fork cover at the front? (I mean the part of the fork above the fork bridge, not the gaitors). Are those the OEM plastic tubes by Yamaha? Thanks in advance.
Please correct me if I am wrong and I am guilty of putting in a upgraded air filter too. But it does not make sense to do this here is why yes you get more air in the box but with EFI regulates how much air goes into the combustion chamber. Yes their is a difference but does it justify the expense that’s up to you.
Yes totally agree with cutting the tube off and great video mate, did it improve the performance?
I remember fitting one of these filters to my old R1100GS.

40mm (I think) black plastic waste pipe, Very cheap!
@@gringotom242 Ah yes, thanks. Do they wobble/Did you have to put O-rings on both sides?
Cutting the filter housing tube might make the motor run a bit lean.
Whats lean???
To much air= lean
What a pain in the ass just to change the air filter. Love the bike though.

Was performance better after you trimmed the air filter housing seal?
Hard to tell from just riding around. A bit I think.
