I am swapping an enduro tank (FE501 -95) for a motocross tank (FC501-98) for a supermoto set-up. My main concern is that to make the tank fit, I have to remove the forward air filter. I think that I have to remove the filter and block off the frame openings, just leaving the filter under the tank. This worries me because I have now lost 50% of my combustion air and I fear I will lose power. Also judging by how dirty the forward air filter became relative to the "twinkie" under the tank, that more air was being supplied by the front filter.
How are the motocross bikes set up? Do they just have the one filter under the tank? If anyone has made this swap I'd like to here from them.
