Ntolerance Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Step one. Remove tank step two. remove air cleaner lid step three. remove mouse from flapper valve step four remove mouse nest. Step five leave air filter out step six roll into it! Must be good for 20-30 hp. Well ok maybe 2-3. Love the sound. Ordering a new air filter tonight Pretty sure this is the worst mouse nest ever or at least a top three candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted July 11, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 11, 2017 Looks like a failed attempt at a mouse powered turbo threadmill . They kept dropping nuggets in the throttle bodies and eventually were recalled and discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted July 11, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 11, 2017 Wow, the little critter died in there! I've seen a lot of post about the nest they make but can't recall anyone pulling one out of the airbox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntolerance Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Don't tell anyone but I'm sure this air box has been like this since I got the bike. ive put almost 7,000 miles on it. Oooooffff. At any rate. Live and learn. It must've run like crap at some point and time untill the hole opened up in the filter Maybe that's why it was so cheap.

Wow, your approach to buying and riding an 18 year old motorcycle is very different from mine. I've purchased two 5th Generation VFR800s in the last two years (one I keep here in Denver, the other is now in Alabama where I spend a lot of time). I can hardly bring myself to ride a new (old) motorcycle until I've given it a very thorough round of inspection and maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
