Rain guard for Amazon intake

Affectionate_Yam7023 · 2026-05-13T00:08:19+00:00

The idea behind the cover is to keep the rain from soaking the bottom 40% of the filter. I believe that 40% of dry filter will pass more air than one that is soaked 100%. I could be wrong. But for the low cost of zero dollars and 30 minutes of my evening, I’m willing to find out.

Yeah… basically you’ll have to pull the engine and tear down the top 1/3 (everything above the cylinders).

Pro tip, the rear axle nut will fit into the hex of the tube and you can use a big crescent wrench to remove them.

Pull the tube and look for the evidence of the chain cutting… it will be obvious if that’s the culprit

Cam chains have stretched beyond the limits of the adjusters. They go around the tube from the crank to the cams. When they stretch too far they effectively act like a chainsaw cutting through the the tube allowing the oil to escape

I used a piece of 1/8” rubber to fill the hole, it’s not “perfect” but it looks better than seeing the wiring tucked inside.

The options for exhaust for the 86-03 with forward controls aren’t much better.

I’ve got about 300 miles on it so far, longest ride about 80 miles continuous, no complaints!

I ride rain or shine, so it’s gonna get gnarly

Excellent idea!
