Answer 1

no you can't...water will get in

just get a better/bigger bike instead of messing up your bike.

Answer 2

It is not a supercharger it is a Hypercharger by Kuryakyn. It will have a K&N filter and rain will not hurt it. Just don't spray water in it with a hose when you wash the bike. You will never be in enough rain to cause a problem. I would look at the Kuryakyn Hi 5 kit. The Hypercharger is over rated. I am using the Hi 5 on a Big Bore with ported heads and I get more than enough air flow.

See attached link.

Answer 3

usually if the intake is mounted in such a way that it gets water in it from rain, you will have an accumulator/evaporator/ water trap in your air box to help combat that issue

Answer 4

You can ride your bike in the rain so long as you duct tape an umbrella to protect your soft curls.

Answer 5

you'll have to add ski's and a propeller, plus wear an approved floatation device.

Answer 6

if your bike is the same, dont even bother, if you want a faster bike then buy a 125 and de restrict it, it would maul a STAR which is what i think that is. But to answer your question if you get it professionally fitted they will fix that probolem if self fitting it then ide advise fitting it diffrently.
