Default Snorkel

Can someone direct me where to buy a snorkel for my 09? Looking for a link if possible. Thank you!

It looks like Tmoe bought a snorkel, and his bike is an 09. IM him for the lowdown.
Look near the bottom of this page.

Why?
Just throw it in the bin when you get it, that's all it's good for.

I'm sure many on this forum have one lying useless on a dusty shelf in their garage. Put up a post if you really must have one, I'm sure there'll be a few takers for your green.

I'm sure it's been covered before, but how much more vulnerable is the intake without the snorkel in?

Unless you go underwater up to the seat, you will be fine....just keep your filter oiled and clean, no problems.

Last time I went riding I hit rode through a big puddle of mud and dumped the bike at the end of the puddle. You think that kind of incident would've been troublesome had the snorkel been removed?

I'm trying to weigh the pros vs. cons.

Only way to know for sure is look at the top of your airbox and see if there was water evidence on the snorkel. If you must have one, some other bikes have better snorkels, search the forums and you can find part #s

I assumed he was looking for the klx300, or other hi flo snorkel. I run mine with the snorkel removed too, no problems.
