You might want to check on an air box mod. to let more air in... good luck.

K&N is a big improvement. Decap the airbox or the spyker mod will open it up a lot more.

The stock airbox is extremely restrictive, so just adding the K&N doesn't really gain you much, except never having to buy another air filter...But there are ways to open the stock airbox to pull alot more air...Spyker's cover mod is one way, and also "decapitation" is another...

Welcome to the cafe from Moyock, NC. Several members here have the Spyker covers. Between the Spyker and a decap, you would have all the air you could ever need. It then comes down to do you want to keep a stock size airbox cover or do you want something with more of an aftermarket look.

If you'll ask your questions in a realted thread you'll get your answers alot quicker or better yet just search "tire pressure" and you'll be reading for days. But the quick answer is, not really. Check your pressure while your tires are cold. What I mean by that is check them before you take off. Dont ride 100 miles then check them. Most folks around here run 40/40 or pretty close to it. Shouldn't matter too much what the ambient air temp is.
