K&N on a CG125?

Hey guys,

Would there be any benefits of fitting a K&N filter to my CG125? Just fancy buying it something nice and an air filter sounds like a good bet! Smile

Did I say someone should take your debit card away from you? Shocked

No mate...won't do a thing which you'll think's worth the money. Won't make it power wheelie in 3rd gear nor will it 'thank' you for it. Smile

It will just make it sound a bit better thats all. No performance enhancement here.

It will take away the need to replace the standard one at service intervals. And I bet you a K&N isn't much more expensive than a standard honda filter. Thumbs Up

If you totally remove the air box then fit a foam filter, if it gets wet, say when riding in the rain, the filter usually just soaks up the water. The engine is starved of air so it just dies and probably wont fire up until the foam has dried out. It will also mean you might need to tweak the carb a little due to the increased airflow. Other than those, it wont make any improvement, probably wont make it sound better either.

Of course, if you'd like one, buy one. Its your choice, not ours. Wink

No point on a CG. The stock filter can flow more than enough air.

A price of a K&N may be comparable to a genuine honda one, but who uses genuine parts in a CG? Should be running a £3 pattern air filter, changed when the economy drops below 80mpg.

Just buy some K&N stickers instead, would probably give the same performance boost.

Heh, cheers for the advice guys...

Might as well ask another question while I'm here.

I have metal prongs coming out of my seat like upside down hooks, is this for a cargo net/other luggage carrying equipment?

Cheers,

Toby

Yes, they are for attaching a cargo net or bungees.

Or string in an emergency.

Get in, going to purchase the Oxford one at Lunch then,

£4.99 from Halfrauds.

The air filter on a CG125 is a foam sock, which doesn't get replaced but cleaned and oiled, so there's no cost of replacement anyway. Smile
