Sunde Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Super confused reading around regarding the airbox flapper valve on these bikes Some say its strictly noise related, some say its there to give better airflow = torque at low revs. I really dont know what to think of it, has anyone blocked it off on the new (8th gen) 800F or 800x and come to a conclusion that its worthwhile? Im not sure if i wanna give it a go just for science haha... Quote

Sunde Posted January 13 Author Posted January 13 Thank you so much for that link, sorry i failed to find it before making a new post! Is it 100% confirmed that honda removed the flapper system entirely from 2017 onwards? If thats the case i find it really really hard to justify not doing what you'v done... Except i plan on just taping off the valve and putting the hose back on, should eliminate its function right? Quote
