I'm in agreement...its undeniable that factory engineers piss more knowledge than we'll ever accrue. Their products reflect such. I'm not a fan of airbox deletes, cuts, maulings. Injection systems, CV carbs, airbox and exhaust were designed to work together to attain best turn key, all around performance/response, fuel economy, emissions, the whole enchilada.
The 250 ran darn great right off the showroom floor, dinnit?

3 of my 4 (fuel injected) are dead stock...my older Ducati just minor, slight pilot system changes. All with original airboxes, no holes, chops, etc. All ageing reliably 25, 22, 13 and 2.... lotta years/miles, no issues, running superb, reliable.

Aside from diligent upkeep/maintenance...LITFA (leave it the F alone), my preference and personal motto.

However, i do respect the right of any owner to do what he/she pleases with their own property. If you are so inclined, have at it, chop, remove, mod your fuel/air delivery system to your desires.
