An engine is disclosed. The engine may have an air box. The engine may further have an opening into the air box. The engine may additionally have a baffle positioned adjacent the opening. The engine may also have a cylinder defining an intake port, with the intake port positioned in the air box. The baffle may be configured to deflect air that passes through the opening to direct the air away from the intake port of the cylinder. 1. An engine , comprising:an air box;an opening into the air box;a baffle positioned adjacent the opening, anda cylinder defining an intake port, the intake port positioned in the air box;wherein the baffle is configured to deflect air that passes through the opening to direct the air away from the intake port of the cylinder.2. The engine of claim 1 , wherein the air box includes a wall substantially perpendicular to the opening claim 1 , and the baffle extends away from the wall at an angle.3. The engine of claim 2 , wherein the baffle extends away from the wall at an angle of approximately 70-90°.4. The engine of claim 3 , wherein the baffle extends away from the wall at an angle of approximately 81°.5. The engine of claim 2 , wherein the baffle includes at least one intermediate section and a distal section claim 2 , the at least one intermediate section and the distal section extending away from the wall at different angles.6. The engine of claim 5 , wherein the at least one intermediate section extends away from the wall at an angle that is approximately 60-65% of an angle at which the distal section extends away from the wall.7. The engine of claim 5 , wherein the at least one intermediate section includes a first intermediate section and a second intermediate section claim 5 , the first intermediate section and the second intermediate section extending away from the wall at different angles.8. The engine of claim 1 , wherein the baffle is positioned such that a height of the baffle overlaps a height of the intake port.9. The engine ...
