Picked this up from elsewhere about fitting pod filters to CV carbs;
Lets talk "pod" air filters. Before you rip off your airbox and ruin your bike. there's a few things to know. individual air filters sold widely on wish and amazon are not real parts, they will keep bugs and your pant leg from being sucked into your carb. But they will also,9 times out of 10 make your bike un-rideable considering that 99% of motorcycle riders who buy them have little tuning knowledge. if you don't know what airfilter oil is then don't fuck with it. if you don't understand how a CV carb works or even what one is, don't fuck with it. Motorcycle carbs like a still, consistent pocket of air to draw from and engineered backpressure to draw against. Try taking the lid off your iced latte and putting your mouth around the whole cup and sucking. yes I'm sure you have experience sucking on something big with your mouth wide open if you bought pods.... but it never ends well. that is why your pod equipped bike only runs on choke. CV (constant velocity) carbs work on the vacuum produced by your engine, the airbox regulates available air creating backpressure which then sucks gas via the jets. air intake into the carbs on CV carbs is regulated by the butterfly which is what moves when you twist the throttle. Jetting the carbs increases gas but leaves air intake the same. stick your head outa the window at 100 mph and see if you can use all that air. all i see these days is cut up Hondas that don't run for shit. if you don't understand what I've written here, or if there's not a little purple oil collecting on the back of your "pod". then leave it alone.
