induction kits

[Darkside]

Possibly a stupid question but I am aware of the benefits of an induction kit for cars, but is it possible to get them for bikes? Also when your bike has ram air, would there be anymore of a with an induction kit fitted?

Is there any benefit from taking cold air from the front of the bike into the air filter? Seemed to remember being told colder air is better for the carbs?

To obtain best performance, fuel needs to be burnt at a stoichiometric rato; i.e. the perfect ratio between air and fuel. It's difficult to get it bang on, but very close to 1 is good enough.

Shoving an induction kit without properly tweaking the other parameters will result in a rather lean engine, which can lead to valves burning off and overheating and such issues.

Ram air is essentially charging the air to a pressure that above ambient temperature. Air is being taken in from the atmosphere and pressurised, which itself is an example of air induction. Bike's were designed with the airboxes to suit the required parameters. I personally wouldn't mess with it unless you're willing to properly "tune" your bike and make it less usable for general use.
