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...

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?
