Hello there, this is my first post so hello, i am 16 and own a gilera dna 50 gp experience and it is derestriced and does about 50, 54 downhill. But today i took the airbox cover off then the air filter itself and looked in the hole. What did i see? well i saw this copper circler thing with like 5 holes drilled in it. so i took the whole box of and got to the carb and was able to take the copper circle out. After this i put it all back together and it run fine, i think but i was just thinking. Will this damage my bike by taking in out? and will my bike need up jetting now? becuase it seems like it wants to go faster.

I know you lot dont like gilera dna'a because they look like motorbikes but you lot know they are still a form of ped. But i am a new bike rider and just want to get in the biker world, anyone want to share there knoledge with me, i would aprpretiate dearly Smile

Thanks

Top Tip number 1

If you don't know what something is and what it does, it is best to leave it alone. Wink

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett:"If someone hung a sign up at the back of a deep, dark cave reading "End of the world switch, do not touch" . The paint wouldn't even have time to dry."
