Curious
Are there any differences between the airbox designs used on the different models?

Re: Airbox. Different types between models?
The seller has failed to mention the locating peg on the lower air filter case has broken off and is missing
The 47x airbox (top) has a groove for a o ring but the 1ge (bottom) has no o ring and just uses a seal.

Re: Airbox. Different types between models?
Wrote to the seller to ask if they new
No idea - but Yamaha went to the trouble of marking them either 47X, 51X & 1GE & the numbers are moulded in - so I assume there’s a difference, as there are plenty of other parts stamped 47X on 51X that they didn’t go to the same trouble with. 1GE & 47X are not restricted in anyway - hence they’re “full power”. I’d guess the volume & flow is different in some way - to match the restricted exhausts & give the correct pressure - but I’m just guessing. I doubt there’s much difference.

Re: Airbox. Different types between models?
Never seen a airbox with 51X moulded in but the part numbers are different for the RZV500
Maybe the size and diameter of the snorkels between main and side airbox are a different size or the part number change is just because the RZV500 doesn't
have the foam pads on?
