My '04 Kawi Nomad 1500 had an air inlet like the Mekong delta, full of turns, changes in direction, goes between the V cylinders to get the air good and hot, idle air injectors, and it pinged like a xylophone playing boogie-woogie. I totally opened the intake, blocked off the old intake, removed the air injectors, put an air cleaner on the right side and cobbled a mount with an intake, and put a Power Commander on it and opened the exhaust some. It made a huge difference. Throttle response greatly improved, it sounded better and ran like a scalded cat. The pic shows the air cleaner I repurposed.
