Title: Should bike stall, cover air intake.
Post by: lukeman on July 05, 2012, 11:14:22 AM

I'm still going through the process of finding vacuum leaks in on my 85 K100.  Should the bike stall if I completely cover up the air intake on the air box where the cold air intake normally connects?  I would just like a definitive 'yes' its not leaking anywhere.  I covered mine and bike still ran as normal which doesn't give me a good feeling...   :hmm:

Well, ideally it should make a difference, but realistically, probably not.

The bottom connection of that intake scoop, at the bottom of the airbox, is not a very tight fit at all, so you are most likely leaking air into the airbox at that point.

Ok cool, yeah it made no difference really.

Thanks.
