Intake FMF SNAP
- Thread starter CDA
- Start date
I'll certainly agree that the intake tract of your typical dirt bike is not optimized for laminar flow. Since I started riding big bores the lack of power has not really been much of an issue. Sure my Beta doesn't have lighting throttle response at 75 on the tarmac like a CBR1000, but that's not something that impacts my dirt bike engine choice.
Just because the intake tract is not optimized for max airflow doesn't mean that it's not engineered. I'm sure a lot of engineering goes into the overall intake system. Changing it may well upset the performance in another area. I want power at low revs as that is what keeps my butt on the seat and not in the dirt.

From a quick write up in the November Dirt Bike Mag:
"The Snap is designed to increase throttle response, enhance torque from roll-on to middle, and installs in seconds. Just before this issue went to press, we tossed one in our 500EXC, and we came away impressed. Bottom power felt more potent, and short-shifting and pulling a taller gear felt like an easier task on the trail. Very Bueno. More on it next month."

Hey CDA have you checked out any of the other products or services that www.bestdualsportbikes.com has?
I have been reading up on 500exc mods.

I have cruised around it a couple times. You already modding something that hasn't made it out of the garage yet?
