l shaped airbox mod effective?

I see some KLR owners have cut an L shaped section out of the top of
the airbox to increase airflow. Can anyone tell me if this is worth doing?
Thanks

Sounds like you have a bad cap gasket. I am not sure of the
testing procedure for this, but I am pretty sure that it should
not leak as you describe.
