2019 PCX 125 - air filter box

Tommy · Post by **Tommy** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 12:12 pm

there's one screw in front that is so unreachable, other 5 to the back are not a problem.
any hints how to get there without taking whole sidepanel out(which would take some work I believe)

looking to remove 'snorkel' from inside of the air box ...

thnx

Well, I've read here the sound gets better when rubber 'snorkel' is removed.
I know.it is placed there for at least 3 reasons
(From my experience with engines...)
1. Longer inlet reduces spitting back from the engine, because spitted particles get sucked back in before they escape the pipe
2. Better positioning of the air suction point in middle of the box/filter, better flow patter on filter(not sucking from one end/front, for example)
3. Less noise obviously than without 'snorkel'

But that aside,
Really, even for a simple filter replacement, how do you do it w/o taking the panels off?
Thanks

If its like the 2010 model I had, you'll need to take the panel off.
Maybe you could pop the pillion peg down and cut an access hole behind it?

just fitted simoto I think it called and removed snorkel idle sounds same as stock setup and if you rev it when riding sounds well good but soon as you don't rev hard it seems normal
