I recently put a aftermarket cone air cleaner on my 05 ridgeback. It runs fine up until i hit 60, then it wants to start sputtering. Did a little research and s&s mentioned if the stock air cleaner was going to be replaced, needed to remove the auxillary bowl vent plug. Is it that simple or am I going to have to replace some of the jets as well? Has anyone else had any issues with aftermarket air cleaners? Appreciate any feedback.
Problems with air cleaner
- Thread starter ridgedndn
- Start date
Most BDM owners who have replaced the stock air cleaner removed the bowl vent plug as per install instruction that came with product and and have gone up on the main jet say from 72 to a 74. As BB Chopper says you need to tune your dog to whatever after maket stuff you have on it, ie; cam, exhaust, air cleaner and so on. Do a seach on here and find out what others have done to correct the issue you are having.
