k&n air filter

[puremagic72]

Hi folks, ok, gotta 2001 fuel injected blade, was thinking about sticking a k&n air filter in it, is it worth it, or just stick to a standard?

Is there any power difference? Smoother throttle response?

Just i could get a slightly used one(k&n) for £20.

Thanks,
Baz.

Make a wee bit of difference, but only with other tuning work, i.e. can/full system + PCIII.

Yeah, got harris can, but not pcIII. Not sure of price diff between the 2, will check it out.

Thanks Big_Ham,

It depends...on some bikes they can cost a HP or two (the SP1/2 are far better on standard filters, even after dynoing).

I have them on mine..the main thing is that they are reusable after a was and re-oil.

Well mines running at 152hp, not too fussed about getting any more!

But smoother running of the bike etc, not sure if i would have to change anything ie(add a PCIII), already got harris race can, which is good enough.........or other tweaking.

I mean, if it will change anything to run smoother or better,(without changing anything) suppose its worth getting one instead of an oem one.

Balance your throttle bodies, smooths it out

I'm considering getting a k&n air filter or similar for my 1999 CBR600fx because it can get pretty dusty on the roads I ride on.

I remember reading somewhere that you have to get the carbs adjusted if you change air filters. Is this true or am I remembering half a story? Many thanks

Fitting any high flow filter will make the engine run leaner and may cause problems. Better safe than sorry to get it checked or at the least do a plug chop as soon as it is fitted.

Used to put them on bike and car but it is just more induction noise unless you do more to the engine.

I asked this question recently.

Basically from what i was told and read up, fitting a different exhaust or air filter, will upset the carburation.

You may need to adjust the pilot screw for a smoother tick over and low throttle, adjust the jet needle for a smoother mid and get bigger jets, all to richen the mixture.

Other wise it will run lean.

Its pretty easy to do, read this site, all you need to know about carburetor setting. Carb 101
