will it even be that big a deal? just kinda wondering what to expect.
Same problems as any natural-aspirated, internal combustion engine. Doesn't matter if it's carbed or FI. The air is less dense, so there's less power. Super charging and turbo charging can ram more air in, but it doesn't matter in the real world. The slow cars and trucks clog the interstate at high altitude, so the best thing is to take back roads and enjoy the corners.

Just simply replace with the pingle. MUCHO better!!


You just clean it with like brake or carb cleaner.

I got mine from a chopper shop. You can get them alot of places. Everybody knows Pingle. They're high flow. used in cars, and bikes.

Work on FI bikes as well?
Or a different model for that?

I would think they would. They use them on everything. The only catch would be ensuring a good clamp to the filter body.
