    Airbox repair needing repair



    a d v e r t i s e m e n t

    All,

    I'm new to TZ's, purchased my first last week a 2001 TZ250.
    The bike is in very good condition. As always any bike of mine gets a good strip down before use.
    I've noticed the both air box's have been repaired over the years, see attached photo.
    The top air-box looks to be quite a rough job on the inside, the lower not as bad.
    Can anyone think why i can not clean up the repair and make them as close as possible to new.
    It would have to improve airflow, which would not be a bad thing?

    while i'd be a little surprised if you notice any significant change in performance, it couldnt hurt to make it look nice.

    the more surprising bit is how the heck the upper box got mangled. that had to be a good one, as the box is pretty well protected normally.

    ....the lower box is a different story!

    The engine is in a Spondon frame, I'm thinking it might have been a fit thing. Thanks for the feedback.
