Hello guys,
First, thanks everyone for all the help Ive gotten up till now.
This weekend I started working on some low hanging fruit on my 1978 750k. I replaced the break pads, which led to me rebuilding the slave. UGH. But it works great now. The air box when I got the bike was falling to pieces and held together with tape. So, I decided to take it off and add pods. I read all the material I could find, and was ok with the performance loss, and knew I would need to rejet to compensate for the additional air.
Well, as you probably know, the top of the airbox has a hose coming out of it, It looked just like a breather that ran to no where, if that right? Reason I ask, is that I took it for a ride, and although it performed better than I thought, the engine got much hotter than usual, and there was a little smoke coming from the area of the pods. I couldnt tell if from the pods themselves, or the hose.
Has anyone run into this? Any advice? THe pods I got were the foam ones with the spring inside, rather than the blingey cheaper metal cones I see a lot. Thanks guys!
