Ok i want to get a K&N for my RVF but dont really know that much about them. I dont know weather to go for the K&N or if there is a better one for my bike. I have an Art can and been told that a K&N air filter and Art can are a great combo but i dont have a clu and also will this make any difference to the performance or Sound etc...
Any help will be great as i dont want to screw up my bike and i am guessing that i will have to get it looked at by a garage once the air filter has been fitted.
Thanks guys
Wez

p.s- Any prices or links will be great. Thanks again Wink Very Happy Wink

I don't much about it but I know the K&N filters do make a noticable difference in performance and are a good investment because they last forever.

And you will be able to get the filters from:

https://www.batmotorcycles.co.uk/
or
https://www.elliottmc.co.uk/

Elliots offer a really good service and the guys at Bats are lazy bastards but still can be as good.

Hope that helps.

If you fit a high performance air filter like these you WILL need the jetting changed, if not you'll be running mega lean.

My personal preference is for the K&N - I've always liked their filters over pipercross though to be honest theres probably bugger all between the two if they are both cotton gauss type filters.

There will be a audible difference in that the intake roar will increase, and with correct jetting there will be a performance gain too.

Thanks for the help, all i need to do now is price up the air filter, jetting and tuning and decide were to get in done. Does any one have any ideas how much this little lot will cost. All the best and thanks for the help.

If your planning to put more tuning parts on your bike in the near future, leave it a while before putting it on a dyno. If you need details of places where you can dyno your bike kev is a good person ask and a so are a few others.

Also I've attached the parts list from Elliots Motorcycles (400cc specialist) for you.
