IMPORTANT TIP FOR FCI INTAKE USERS

[bh84]

make sure you put a strap or something over it to hold it in place, i was running 3rd with 2 laps to go in pro and it was moving around so much it pulled the carb off teh cylinder, needless to say i DNFed, we ziptied it down and it worked great the next moto, too badthere was a 3 KTM pileup in the first corner.

oh well, better luck next weekend

EDIT:
heres our solution, works great!

I had the same issue with the FCI on my YFZ, it was too loose where it passed throughthe airbox opening and came off several times, in that case I used a rubber gasket to reduce the gap making it tight as, I did recommend to Garret that he consider moulding lugs to allow the thing to be bolted to the airbox.

I reckon a bolt through the location lugs each side of the tube fixed through the plastic would do the trick, or even a big square section of velcro on the underside of the tube / top side of the plastic would work.

what we ended up doing was bending a piece of aluminum to sit on it and bolted it to that and mounted the aluminum under the white pastic lugs, ill post pics later this week

Sorry I havent been keeping you guys posted. Anyway, the loan fell through because of my age and lack of credit so it dosent look like Ill be getting a KTM anytime soon. Back to the drawing board i guess.

You can also split a piece of rubber and put it on the airbox where the fci intak enters it, reducing the gap and holding the fci tube in place. I definitely like the aluminum mount as well, great idea and a solid one for sure

Mine seems to fit awsome, but I don't run the spacers in the kit with the FCI, and my seat holds the tube down very well.

thats funny, cause i think i member saying that it needed some ears and maybe bolt it to those 2 bolts to hold it in place...

lol,

at least ya got a fix for it, did you seal those sheetmetal screws to make sure they hold and dont allow dust to be sucked in?

[frdbronco8]

Sorry to dredge up an old thread but I was wondering how many people are using the seat spacers? Seems like the seat resting on the FCI would hold it down very well but would it break it?

i dont run the spacers on my XC and have no issues with two trips to glamis. The seat holds it down just fine. i did put a piece of 1/4 inch foam on the bottom left over from my Shoria battery.
