Cagiva Mito Club Official Forum

Hello everyone,

As I have already told youin my presentation topic and in the description topic of my bike, I'm doing an upgrade on my Mito, but I'm having a doubt that I would like to clarify.
My air filter box is the model 1999 and as I have a Mikuni TM34SS (from a RGV and RS 250) to ride, I want to clarify with you what would be the best option for the air box system to install.

I've read several threads about this, but I confess that I was not clarified, so I would be grateful if you could give me your opinion, especially if I can keep my original air box, or if it’s better to put a full power from the original Mito or even a conical filter.

If you have other suggestions, I appreciate because the time starts to push for conclude the project and I have to make a decision.

Another issue is the reed valve. It’s worth the VForce3 or Boiesen? I have also read a lot about this but I didn’t get to any conclusion.

Once again I would be very grateful for your wise help.
Best regards

the best aribox is the "cornuto" one because it takes fresh air from the outside
leave the vforce to rs, boysen is ok but the best is the seven one

forget the conical filter, it's really a pain in the a** to achieve the corrent carburation.

i had the conical filter, great sound but is suck for the motor, put the original air box with a cross sponge

Hi,
what you want to mean with "cornuto" ? It´s a type of airbox ?

I have already read about "cornuto" and "coperchio de aspirazione frontal" but I admit I didn't understand because it was in Italian.
This system is hand made or produced in series?
In afirmative where can I bui it.
Thank you for the clarification you can provide me

it's not an aftermarket airbox cover , it was put in the cagiva seven speed till 1999 ... you can't find it easily because it's the best one but it's also rare

Shit !!! It´s the only one "cornuto" that I find in the ebay the other's are the same model like mine (EV2 - 6 speed).

The holes that you refer are the cutouts on the horn, or the other´s three holes in the top of the cover ?
Messaggio modificato da mendeshgt il 23 June 2010 - 01:03

enough to cover those 3 holes with Scotch and fine

The horned (translated: cornuto) airbox cover (called like this 'couse of the two "tubes" that takes the air) is maybe the best airbox for our mitos but is very difficult to find and is sell at a very high price.
The simple choise is buy a airbox cover that we call "a presa frontale" or "frontale" (front intake).
The performance of this two airbox cover are very similar, so don't lose your head to search too much and take the first that you find.

That "cornuto" one of the foto has been sold yesterday !!!!

So, now I dont know what to do !!!
