So I got a decent deal on a 2007 ninja I bought online. it said it ran so that was good enough for me. It was an auction website so it clearly had some kind of issue. It had minor scratches on it so it looks like it was dropped in a parking lot or garage.

So anyways the bike ran like total garbage. I pulled the carb & cleaned it and barley manage to get the airbox back on and it ran pretty good. A few hours later I took it for a spin and it ran horrible. It was extremely sluggish and felt like a 50cc scooter. I did notice a loud induction noise so could this be that the airbox popped off and it's giving me very, very poor performance? Can't I save the trouble and do pod filters? Someone said not too because it would be difficult to tune.

I am extremely fed up with the airbox at this point. so it would feel very good to remove for good.
