barrybaines Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Just a little torx screw, I bought my '07 250 from Steve Saunders so if it's good enough for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishy Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I drilled and put an old valve stem in mine, little silicon to seal it, then tighten down the valve stem lock nut, and put the cap on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwrev3 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) There's a topic in Bike Specific Forums-Beta called "Rev3 Airbox Maintenance" that was started on Jan. 27 2006 by 5again, I've tried putting a link but I handle a P.C. worse than my Rev3. Hope this helps. Edited April 14, 2007 by GWREV3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I drilled and put an old valve stem in mine, little silicon to seal it, then tighten down the valve stem lock nut, and put the cap on it. Yep thats the way did it on most of my bikes apart from I used a car type valve stem and pulled it through, no need to seal with silicone as it is made of rubber. Take the valve out, put the dust cap on, job done.......if it gets water in just undo the dust cap Mont already got a drain built in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) i looked at this long and hard Lampkins had details about how to mount a tube via an empty tyre valve. At the end of the day if you get enough water in there the bikes going to be coughing and spluttering any way as the filter will be like a bath sponge, undoubtably the drain would help if the air box is full of water but by then so would the carb be. so as the filter is only held in with two screws i carry some kitchen towel so that should the thing get water in i whip the filter out and squeeze it dry which you would have to do anyway and get the towel screwed up and down into that airbox to get not only the water out but all the silt which really F's your carb up...
