Why/how should I modify my airbox lid.
The first thing a KDX owner does is remove the snorkel to allow better air flow into the airbox. Those of us who bought a 2nd hand bike have probably never seen one, but it sits at the back of the airbox lid. Removal leaves a hole so the air can flow through a bit more.
Drilling more holes in the airbox lid means even better air flow. Total removal of the airbox lid is fine, but it will mean relocation of the CDI unit. (see post by Lew)

“If you're worried about dirt getting into the air box, try this.
Cut a piece of panty hose(nylons) to size and stretch it tightly over the open air box.
This will prevent any dirt from getting in and will act as a drum skin bouncing off any dirt. Also acts as a pre filter.” (posted by BucKat, 25.1.03) thread: http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/sh...?threadid=70506
“I removed mine completely. This way I have the option of putting it back stock should the need arise. You can relocate the CDI to the cross member. There is already a tapped whole and reuse the bolt from the original location. I did place some rubber faucet washers under it to reduce vibration”. ~ Lew (25.1.03, thread as above)
