My 2011 black cbr 250 is the 11th bike I've owned and currently have a 08cbr1000 and a 06gsxr600 track bike. I'm literally going insane on wondering why in the world Honda decided to manufacture the intake nozzle of the air box under the seat AND pointed backwards. It seems like there is no head on airflow like you see with every other bike.

My question: Would installing an extension of the snorkel leading to the side or front of the bike be that much more beneficial?

I am positive it would, the reason I ask is because this may be a better alternative than doing the "removing the air box cover or intake snorkel technique". I am purchasing a two brother carbon black series full exhaust and a juicebox (hate on it -.- .. PCV is overkill for a 250 in my mind) and am just brainstorming on alternatives that can be done on the intake side of the bike.

Thanks much

Greetings Pray4UrLife,

Some information to think about.

The cbr is a World Wide Export Motorcycle. Think about All of The Enviroments that the cbr will be Exposed to.

The Design for the air filter element intake is due to Space and Design Limitation.

Think about all the Foreign Material that is suspended in the air that the cbr will be Passing Thru, World Wide.

For normal every day Riding. You want a Calm Air Envelope surrounding the air filter element intake. The Faring deflects the High Speed Air, that is ladden with Foreign Material away from the inlet.

The eddy air currents that supply the air inlet, form a stable calm air envelope around the air inlet. This insures that the Foreign Material will fall out of the air and not be injested into the air inlet. This makes for a Cleaner Air Filter Element, with an Extended Service Life.

Think about Riding thru a Dust Storm, A Heavy Rain Storm, Standing Water on the Pavement, Following behind another Vehicle on Sand/Dirt Ladden Highways, etc, etc...

Just Remember, it's your cbr, it's your Choice, Good or Bad.

Thanks soul, it makes a lot of sense once I think about it that way.
