Air filter+ rent free guest= trouble.

Pulled my air filter out since it was a nice and warm day on the east coast (39 degrees) and found bunch of stuffing , pine nuts and some other stuff that I know doesn't belong there.

def old one, new one in there now


and I was riding like this since the filter is one thing I didnt check when I bought the bike, bike felt good and I was impressed with its performance. Little bugger was even chewing on the plastic cover and I thing he did the airbox mod for me. I am sure it didn't happened at my place but am glad I found it and cleaned it out.

Good deal, I was about to feel really bad for you. I am trying to picture how the little bugger got in there in the first place.

It's almost as bad as my neighbor who had a cat that would climb onto the radiator of their old truck when they'd get home in the winter (big engine bay). One day they just stopped for a short while and went to get back in the truck. Fired it up and a god awful commotion ensued. Nicest way to say the kitty now had a nub for a tail and the tail needed to be removed from the serpentine belt. And my neighbor who had a little girl that was a awful monster was crying, I kind of laughed cause she was so mean, then I remembered it wasn't the cats fault.
