TE 610 Airbox - again?

My latest feeling is actually to remove the airbox and route a Uni pod filter in extra space made vailable under the seat in battery box area - having fitted a small Li battery.

I can't do that. TwinAir is Dutch and I gotta buy local during these harsh times

Pic of my brothers 610 about to be de-watered after a small creek crossing. My old DRZ went through no probs. The 610 air intake is too low and will suck water in.

Exactly why I want mine up under my seat

I ran across this guy's attempt to address the spinning brass insert syndrome (amongst other tid bits). I'm going to give it a go.
So far, everything is still intact so I have something to start with.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but did you ever end up installing the unifilter under the seat?

Yes indeed - I need to do a full write-up, just not had a chance.

I did a complete airboxectomy, fitted a small Ultrabatt Lithium Ion battery and routed the air intake to a two stage Uni pod filter in the remaining space in the battery compartment. Here are three pics - I must shoot some of the whole thing buttoned up, side covers on etc. Neat and great mod IMHO.

Very interesting!

I would love to see the write up.

Thanks

So.. Only two years late to the party, but would that be this

Id love to see a write up also and/or links to parts. Looking at a 2007 610, but the air box is giving me pause

and what size is the carb intake? I'd like to order all the necessary tubing and everything before i start taking anything apart.

It had a bend to it and has a dust cover pre-filter - I will look for the code.

Looks like a great idea, I did a water crossing last week and all I could picture was water getting in... Made me go through real fast.

i did get the 07 610. haven't sunk it yet, and unfortunately just put in a fresh standard battery (old one crapped out during a trip). still interested in pursuing this mod at some point down the road though - if you do have any additional details please post them up, it'll save me (and others perhaps) some head scratching

thanks!

can't message anyone, so I got to do it in the open forum, Hi Aaron!

dima! please answer my above question or better yet order the appropriate parts for me and i'll pay you back ;p

I will test stock airbox for water resistance at Green Falls ASAP, bike is now running and I can hardly wait to put some miles on it
