Re: pods

Hi I've read that the ram air will provide cooler air and and also a lot less turbulence free.<br>This is a common problem with the pod filters fitted,supposedly it makes the slides flutter because of the uneven air distrubution.<br>This is something I was thinking about the other day,on the yzf600r...

Re: gas flowing
