Title: MX250 Air Box.
Post by: mx250 on May 20, 2011, 08:35:46 pm

Just out of curiosity :P.

This is the airbox on the MX I got from Shaun.

The RHS of any MX air box I've seen has been sealed by foam strips glued to the side cover. This one has what appear as a OEM rubber cover to do the same (someone has smothered it in white silicon to improve the seal/fit.

I had a look at the parts catalog and can't see it  included. Has the Yammy Brains Trust ever seen such a thing? Comments?

Outa curiosity you understand :).

Musta been a mid model improvement/mod ::). It certainly looks 'factory'.

looks like a standard airbox to me 250/360.  nothing out of the ordinary there other than the clip has broken off the end of the securing  tab
