I tried to pull it out but could not tell how far in it was. Has anybody removed theirs and can confirm it simply pulls out?

Removing the snorkel will make the intake-sound louder, but often softens the low and mid-range torque and throttle response.

A snorkel is used to smoothly direct the air into the box. An opening with a sharp edge creates turbulence which reduces flow.

  1. ABS caliper on a non-ABS bike

    CBR250 Performance
    While the overall braking of the CRB250 is acceptable I am quite disappointed with the lack of feel (wooden block comes to mind). I will likely try SS lines but since I like doing things just to do them I thought about installing the ABS caliper, with it's three pistons, on the stock master...

I was thinking it may be to do with the abs and...

  5. New Michelin Pilot Street Radial for the CBR250R.

    CBR250 Performance
    At 5500 miles, I'm thinking about new tires. I think the IRC Road Winner RX-01's have been superb, but I don't want to overlook other tires that might be as good or better. I'm under the impression that the CBR250R should be fitted only with bias ply tires. This relatively new video from...

  6. rear shock spring too stiff... is it just my butt?

    CBR250 Performance
    Rear shock spring too stiff... is it just my butt? I weigh 174 pounds, and I found the number two spring setting to be cruely harsh, and the softest setting is only marginally acceptable to me. A softer-yet setting would be nice, and it's hard to imagine riders closer to a hundred pounds don't...
