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. Yoshimura 77 muffler...with or without silencer?

    CBR250 Performance
    Just picked up a yoshimura 77 muffler for my 250 Repsol. Any pros or cons of installing or not installing silencer that it came with. Will leaving it out hurt performance? Thanks.

  2. CBR 300R hit 101 mph this morning! And comparison to Ninja 300

    CBR250 Performance
    Perfect conditions, nice cold weather in So Cal. I hit 101 mph indicated on a slight downgrade. It was the same downgrade where I hit 111 mph indicated on the Ninja 300 I once had. For comparison, the Ninja 300 got about 62 mpg and the CBR300r has been getting about 71 mpg over 1,500 miles...

  3. CBR 300R won't hit 100 mph

    It seems my 300R will only top out around 97 mph and won't even hit 99 mph like I've seen in the youtube video. I thought I'd get it up to 100 but nope, dang. Anybody else disappointed in the top speed of the 250 or 300?

  6. The "Leave the stock exhaust the heck alone!" thread

    CBR250 Performance
    For those of you that have yet to change the exhaust, I am going to throw my two cents in on the subject in this thread. Our bikes are 250cc. They produce 23 hp or so, from what I have read. You risk turning your bike into a POS that backfires, produces too much noise, gets worse gas...
