what‘s the difference between short ram intake and cold air intake?
A cold air intake is a system used to bring down the temperature of the air going into a car for the purpose of increasing the power of the internal-combustion engine. A secondary goal is to increase the appeal of a car by changing the appearance of a car's engine bay and creating an attractive intake noise. These aftermarket parts come in many different colors and many different sizes, and are an inexpensive way to increase performance. The short ram air intake is a form of aftermarket air intake for automobiles with internal combustion engines. It replaces the OEM air intake with a short metal pipe and air filter inside the engine bay. This can slightly boost performance levels in a vehicle by increasing air volume intake, at the expense of increased intake noise. The high temperature of air near the engine can reduce performance in some cases, but this is often made up for by the increased volume of air. As a remedy, many short ram intakes include some form of heat shield. However, some users prefer to use different types of air intakes such as a cold air intake. Users with forced induction engines often opt for short ram intakes because compressors adjacent to the engine, especially turbochargers, heat up and negate much of the benefits of a cold air intake.
Yes you can if you have the correct tools to do the job, however I wouldn't recommended it. When you change a tyre on either a car or motorcycle it requires balancing afterword's to ensure the weight around the circumference of the wheel is evenly distributed, otherwise there is the possibility that you will get wheel shake. That is bad enough on a car, but could be catastrophic on a bike! Also, although I don't know the local laws in your area I would assume that once you are on public roads you would have to wear a helmet. Why you wouldn't wear one is beyond me to be honest, a fall onto the road at even 30mph is more than enough to smash your skull, so don't do it!
A cold air intake or CAI takes in air into a filter at a location that is outside of the engine compartment (like between the inner and outer fenders, or behind the headlights) and a short ram intake just replaces your stock airbox with an open element filter. This is usually inside the engine compartment.
changing a motorcycle tire is a little bit different than changing a car tire, but the principal is the same. and yes, i would wear my helmet if i was riding through my neighborhood. studies show, most accidents occur within a short distance from ones home. WEAR YOUR HELMET AT ALL TIMES!!!!! PROTECT YOUR MELON DUDE!
