The Whole Lid
Use the whole lid as a frisbee. Then Re-jet the bike per this links instructions
http://justkdx.dirtrider.net/carbtuning.html That should help quite a bit, Otherwise it is starving for AIR.

Stan,
I just got an'02 KDX220 2 weeks ago, I love it. My last bike was an XR650R. I have found a wealth of info on this site. Follow this link to tech tips http://justkdx.dirtrider.net/ you will find everything you need to know about the KDX. I can tell you this everything in the tech section has worked for me. This bike has been around long enough that these guys know exactly what to do with them.
1. The airbox lid has to go, frisbee.
2. You will have to mount little electrical box somewhere else. (Damn it I can't think of the proper term for this part!)
3. Yes, you will be rejetting it.
4. Noise? From removing the airbox lid, minimal.
Hope this helps.

YES
You will have to re-jet. The bikes come from the factory very rich anyhow and you would need to rejet it even if you left the lid on, as far a the pipe goes, Yes the factory pipe is double walled and VERY restrictive and a new pipe is probably the biggest BANG for your buck as far as a performance mod goes. You basically have 3 good pipes to choose from them being FMF REV, FMF GNARLY, or Pro Circuit. All three are good pipes but all three do different things to the bike. I went with the Pro Circuit only because is creates power gains across the entire powerband from top to bottom.
Good Luck, Obie #8 ;)
