I just bought the bike a few weeks ago and it came with pods. the pods are the foam ones. I was wondering if going with other pods might make a difference?
IF you continue to use pods ( I have them and they have been on the bike since 1977) invest the money and buy K&N. And not some knock offs. Only REAL K&N's have K&N marked on them. There are a lot of sellers on ebay who claim they are K&N or "K&N style"
They aren't cheap, but again, IF you want to stay with pods, they are worth the money , IMHO.
As far as will K&N's stop your present problem?? I can't honestly ever remember having the same problem as you described :huh: . But then again, I'm old and forget things all the time.
1974 900 Z1 modified to look like a LTD , some engine mods. But I still have all the original parts.

If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?

But yes, I've seen some attractive half covers made for them, if you use a soda, beer can (good idea!) mount it with the "brushed aluminum" (inside) out, looks pretty cool.

With flat- or round slide push-pull -carbs (Mikuni VM / RS / TM etc) I haven´t heard of big problems, but I´ve heard of big improvements in power. I now have 33 TM´s and it just pulls like a freight trainB) And the sound of that intake suction...oh-man:woohoo:
