    Obviously bro.
    But i guess that is what filter is made for. If it is in good condition and properly fitted then how can more dust reach inside engine.
    I mean to say how can it harm the engine
    Burn the rubber, they said
    it would be fun, they said

      Ok now that this topic has come up "again". Let me "repeat" the entire thing again.
      • Removal of filter cover will make water seep in, and excess of air into the filter.
      • After all its a filter, it doesn't guarantee pure air going inside but it somehow restricts the dust "to a level".
      • If you increase the volume of air , it wont work that effectively, after all you are testing its limits.
      • More dirt in engine means, more friction on the piston edges, valves etc
      • If I know correctly , engine parts should have less friction in order to make the engine work smoothly,
      • Last but not the least, removal of air filter box will ONLY, I repeat ONLY increase the sound, it wont give any bump in performance.

        [MENTION=80048]RedWingRider[/MENTION] - removal of air filter cover does not mean water will seep in more.

        There is a snorkel below the filter cover through which water can easily enter even if the cover is in place.

        Many riders including me have run more than 20k kms with the filter off.

        The filter gets more dirty, that's it. You still have to change the air filter at 10-20k kms interval.

        Removing the air filter cover gives a nice intake howl when you open throttle suddenly at low rpms. The weak (other commuters/scooters) hear it and get out of the way. I've noticed kids standing at attention when I pass by if my bike has the filter cover off. I would prefer a salute too, but you can't get everything you want.

          If you want sound to get a good quality slip-on with a db killer and direct compatibility with the stock map, you have slightly better torque and hp, marginal increase, if not go for a full system with a ecu flash and a new air filter , you have track sort of bike, I.E will only use for track.

              To each his own, I guess my duty was to "tell" what should not be done, but I guess Honda just wasted some plastic by providing that filter cover, They should have be default removed it, after all that could have saved some good amount of production price for them.
              Also, all the best to the kids who will start "Riding the sound", instead of "Riding the bike", after all its a robust bike and nothing will happen to it if one keep on experimenting with the bike.

              I forgot , that this forum is filled with so many experienced riders that common sense and practical views doesnt matter any more.

                  [MENTION=13887]prateek2210[/MENTION] -

                  Divya bhai runs his zmr with the intake snorkel removed. His bike's crossed 1 lakh kms.

                  Common sense also tells us it's better when people are aware of other road users. The removal of that cover provides just enough sound to alert pedestrians and other commuters in front of you. Using the horn always unnecessarily raises B.P.

                  There is enough proof out there to discount the "more damage theory".

                  As to the performance, VJ has had a similar experience to mine, where in the bike has slightly increased low end torque, and a flat spot around 7k rpm when you remove the cover. With the cover on, it's the opposite.

                  I may be wrong, but if more air enters the engine due to the cover off, then the engine performance must vary. If the performance stays the same, and there is no variation in power delivery, then removal of the air filter cover will have no harmful effects.

                            Thanks for a detailed answer bro
                            I agree on all the points mentioned by you except that water seeping in one.

                            Well, more air = more dirty air. That makes sense.

                            And for sure it is not going to give any significant performance bump.
                            Only probable effect Is engine running on leaner side for some time.
                            Thanks again for a detailed reply

                              20k means good amount of experimental running.
                              And i agree with you on water part.

                              Well I usually change my filter at around 8k kms because i feel like beyond that it is on its bonus life.
                              Even if it lasts lesser with cover off it wont make much of difference to maintenance cost.

                              And yes that intake howl sounds too pleasant to my ears. That's about it.


                              As previously mentioned, I have ridden my bike without that cover for sometime and indeed it makes some difference to engine performance.
                              Although I am not behind any performance bump or attention though that would be a bonus too.

                              Thanks for being a part of this discussion.
