randyrat Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi Folks, I have a 2000 315r, and have a little question...... When the seat/mudguard unit is removed, there is a small notch on the upper part of the airbox. The corresponding part of the mudguard has a small fibre patch riveted in place to (partially) cover this notch. Although it seems to be original fit, I think its a bit "Heath Robinson", and will allow water from the back tyre to wash onto the top of the airbox. Can this be right? The previous owner has filled the notch with some hard set silicone....do I remove this, or is it a common modification? Any ideas? My natural instinct is to replace the silicone to reduce the risk of water getting onto the airbox.... Any help welcome... Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
