Filter for each carb

[mike nich]

If I use the 4 small air filters for my cars

1. What do I do with the 3 hoses that come off my air box?

2. Is there any problems that Ineed to look out for using these?

fisrt we need to know what year bike you have. Because, if it is a 78-79 you need to have vent hoses frome the carbs, the 80's don't have that. As for the two that come up off the case, I got a small air filter to put at the end of the big one and just run the smaller one up between the battery and the fuse box. I'll take a pic later.

.. the two small hoses that come from the carbs are vent hoses, you can just leave them hanging out of the way but DONT plug them up!. the big one is for crank ventalation, some people plug a small air filter into the end of that hose, but you can route that hose out of the way also and not worry about it..
.. since you have changed your air filters you will have to change your jetting also. do a search and you will find every thing you will need to know about that stuff also
hope this helps

Don't leave the crankcase breather hose open, put a filter on it or you'll be sucking dust from the atmosphere into the crankcase, the vent breathes both ways.
