Just wondering if a 2" snorkel will give the bike more HP? I don't want to turn it into a boat and I don't want to seat surf, I have a boat. Just wondering if I can get some more horse with a short 2" snorkel and maybe a new jet. If so what size jet I need?

it will give you a little more hp. not much but the jetting will have to do with whether its running rich or lean afterwards. if your at a higher elevation then you may not have to jet it at all. check your plug before you install the snorkel. then clean it, install the snorkel and then run it for 20 miles or so and re-check your plug. if its darker; running rich/ if its really light or even almost white then your running lean. its a trial by error thing

I small discrete snorkel would work just like a CAI on a car I would assume. So with a rush of more air and the right jetting you should atleast get some more throttle responce out of it.
