Slater Skins High Flow Air Box Covers for Yamaha’s

Posted:

The Slater Skin’s High Flow Cover has addressed the restrictive OEM cover design with integrated ventilation slots at the front of the cover and by increasing the overall size of the cover thus increasing the total air volume significantly.

The new Yamaha YZF 250’s and 450’s are very innovative with their reversed motor design but they are known for having air intake problems as the motor just cannot get enough air because of the forward location of the air box.

Air is restricted from entering the air box by way of small inlets on the inside of the radiator shrouds. This system works well most of the time but falls short as RPM’s and speed increase. A faster more aggressive rider will push the bikes beyond the intake limitations. The rider may never realise how much more they could be getting out of their motor if they had the proper amount of air being injected.

The current OEM design has limited airflow from a lack of free-flowing ventilation and also a limited total volume due to the size of the lid. This sees valuable airflow kept away which also reduces the engine’s ability to breathe better and also reduces horsepower.

The Slater Skin’s High Flow Cover has addressed the restrictive OEM cover design with integrated ventilation slots at the front of the cover and by increasing the overall size of the cover thus increasing the total air volume significantly.

According to its manufacturer this additional air volume results in noticeably increased power.
