Your english is a lot better than my french. Most people take the lid off to try to gain some power. The snorkel is a little insert that fits in the lid to get another inch or so of clearance in deep water. Realistically if you're in that deep, you'll probably drown your bike anyway.

The below diagram is from RonAyers.com..online OEM microfiche....
You can make use of the parts diagrams to 'see' how stuff in the bike fits together AND get prices and part numbers, too:
So...you got a pic of the snorkel...and a diagram of where it goes and how it fits.
OkeyDokey?
ps
I think assuming he speaks french JUST 'cuz he's in KayBeck is discriminatory!!!

I'd assume he speks Canadian. 'Bout like I tawk American.
Some time ago I had a fella advise me that it was better to remove the snorkle and double the size of the hole where the snorkle went, leaving the rest of the lid intact and in place.
His reaoning was that incoming air was better directed and distributed across the surface of the filter.
That's what I did. I'm sure the performance was greatly improved over simply throwing the lid awy

Re: 'I'm sure the performance was greatly improved over simply throwing the lid away..
Absolutely!!
Besides...you ditch the entire lid...you GET a duck!!
That H-O-N-K racket you get with the lid off (intake noise) I find to be considerably irritating.
I spent $100 on a K&N filter lid to fit the airbox of my Banshee..won't use it 'cuz of the noise I hear with it on. I don't care if it runs better or not..I don't like the racket.
BTW, that's, 'I'd assume he speks Canadian, 'eh!'

To each his own....
I kept my snorkel in place, but DID drill a bunch of holes just behind the snorkel to somewhat improve airflow. I did get a performance improvement but I DON'T have the 'dead duck quackin' noise.
If yours is missing, you might ask HERE!...(click on the here and you'll go to the 'stuff wanted' forum)
Someone that took theirs off might sell you a replacement cheep.
