K&N Air Filter

[XS1954]

Would fitting a K&N air filter make a bike sounder louder?

I need a way of making the bike sounder louder without replacing the exhaust.

i been reading about putting a K & N filter in my bike cos my friend has one and his bike sounds much meatier than mine, but it seems like you have to go to a lot of trouble putting new jets in the carburettor, and it sounds horribly hard/time consuming, so dunno if i will bother

Shame. I wanted to just wack it in and ride. Oh well cheers guys.

my R6 is jetted with a K&N filter & apparantly the stock is much better, i know this is with all R6's but not sure about other bikes, wouldn't be able to tell the diffrence on a sports bike.

Just changing the filter to a K&N is unlikely to make any discernable difference to the bike at all, from a rider's perspective. The only benefit, without the full exhaust and fueling adjustments, is that the K&N doesn't need replacing, so should pay for itself over a (long) period of time.

Hi

Dumping the airbox and replacing it with single filters will make it a hell of a lot louder. Normal K&N replacement might make a touch louder but nothing you are likely to notice unless you modify the airbox.

All the best

i had a KnN air filter put on my FZR600 when it got the carbs set up (scorpion race can + dyno jet kit, plus new air filter) and you can notice the air induction more from pulling away in 3rd+ from about 30MPH.

I put a K&N in my xj600 ran rough and ended up causing it 3 times to stall and flood the carbs on a cold start, Sticking tp the basic set up filter. Now trouble free.
