The hose coming from the rear is the transmission breather. Do NOT let crap get into there! It's supposed to fit into a hole in the air box. If you let dirt and water get in there, it will hose your trasnsmission.

I'm assuming you don't have an air box/rear fender. You need to get one of those and the cover for it, and a filter. Filters can be bought brand new from Honda for about $4.

Yea use a stock box on a stock motor, if its a spree never f*** with the filter setup.

A intake wont do s*** on a stock bike, you quite clearly DO NOT know what you are doing AND WILL BURN UP YOUR MOTOR IF YOU CONTINUE TO f*** WITH IT!!! I do however congratulate you on at least being ballsy enough to try (unlike most people I know).

yeah dude. Dont just jump into things and trash it. Take your time and read some first.
you need to know about jetting and the hole lean/rich thing.

if you were to get a new filter i would get a UNI or OKO or something like that. Along with a bigger jet. But no since in doing something like that if you are going ot tune the bike later on.

Now, wait till you know what the * you want. Then start doing stuff.

ok I got the whole problem under control now and understand what I'm dealing with now, so now my question is Where should I order the intake from and the jets?

Do you understand what the jets are for? Do you know how to do a plug chop? If you cant answer these then your not ready.
