- It is all good.
I want to reinstall the stock air cleaner on a 77 c1 I just bought and disassembled. I have not yet seen this engine run, so I don't know how well the current jets are working..(I don't even know which ones are in now).
Which jets are recommended for a bike with a kerker pipe and stock air cleaner.

Unless you really want to go slower and decrease your fuel economy, then I understand.
Are the pods rotted?
?

Wha? why lose the pods?

In general, pods don't perform as well as the stock air box. If you really believe a stock KZ650 will be faster and get better fuel economy if you replace the stock airbox with pods you are fooling yourself. For details do a search on this site for "pods". Obviously, there are differing opinions, but do the search and judge for yourself the disadvantages vs perceived advantages. Ed

I feel that the look of the stock airbox is tight, follows the lines of the original design, flows so well with the side covers, looks complete and, finally, I am not convinced that it really offers that much of a boost to power as to warrant having them.

? :woohoo: ?
So... your saying pods reduce performance?
People put them on thier bikes to go slower?? :huh:
I guess velocity stacks are uh to reduce velocity... :blink:
I've seen the difference with dyno mapped jetting, and pods can add a TON of power to just about any properly setup bike. (In the old realm of bikes)
Just searching the forum for a bunch of guys that couldnt jet a bike and went back to stock, isn't exactly an unbiased solution to this equation.
Personally, I don't care either way you go. I have a bike with pods, and one without for exactly the same reason... the look.

What kind of KZ650 is a ZRX1200R ???
The bike in question is a KZ650. I could be wrong, but I suspect a ZRX1200R head handles a bit more flow than a stock KZ650. No?
