Do you believe the DNA cover over an oiled filter is going to flow air better than simply a big hole leading straight into the throttle body?

I don't know, but I would have thought not, especially if you leave the air box in situ so the inlet tract length remains unchanged. I can't believe RE would have engineered in any sonic ram effect into the intake system, but you never know.

Especially when the airbox opening (minus filter & cover) is hugely oversized for the requirements.

How do we know that?

Pleasure, basically. I was in my mid-50s, having completed my career in the telecommunications industry, and wanted a new and interesting challenge. I loved it - the first two years especially (the third year had too much material repeated from the second year). I did it at Derby Uni in the UK.

After that I did a spell of lecturing, and then - in search of yet another challenge - I did a Master's in Audio Engineering. That was tough! I had no background in audio and no degree in it, so it was a pretty steep learning curve.

 Good stuff. Well done. 👍

    Just curious, did you do your degree for "business or pleasure"?
    Was it employment related or just for the challenge/fun(?) of doing it?

When designing an air box for a modern, street legal, emissions compliant motorcycle, the air box is more than just a hole for the filter, it’s a silencer, a flow controller, an airflow stabiliser to name just a few. And it has to be packaged into the space available. I reckon it’s the right size for the job because engineers who really understand the requirements designed it😁

I'm sure you've already checked it but in case you haven't you might throw a dial indicator on the wheel rims. check it in both planes, axial and radial, I don't know if RE lists a runout spec in the manual, but I'd guess that anything more than 3 mm (1/8 of an inch) could create the issue you describe.  And especially so if the run out is vertical.

I *personally* haven't put the dial indicator on the rims, but I am pretty sure my tire installer did when he mounted the tires. And then re-mounted / rebalanced the front, TWICE.

The rims are as true as cheap rims can be, I think. That's not saying much, but there we are.

Thanks for the tip, though. I've often thought that if I had the cash, buying an entire front/rear wheel set and swapping out would give me a chance to eliminate that particular variable.

every forum software is different. if you have the pic on your PC, you can usually upload it into your post. here, as i'm writing this post, has a button "attachments and other options" which will allow you to browse your PC, select and upload.

 i have no idea how to do it from a cell phone.

     Yes I know all that. I used to be able to upload pictures no problem. I have put hundreds of pictures on this forum since 2009.

     UNTIL Windoze f**ked with My Documents & my pictures because I refused for years to use THEIR APPS which they tried for years to force on me. They made it impossible for me to drop & drag ANYthing into an email OR a forum like this. Dropping a picture in now will crash the site & the whole Forum website just disappears. PLUS they also just "disappeared" hundreds of items from My Documents which included 100s of pictures. NOW I finally have to learn another program (this happened years ago)

  I do not own a cell phone.
