    I had a word with Joel today...Simota air filters coming soon (a month) for FZ as well.
    Check here for more details on these filters.
    So the Simota filters are better that the K&N

      Hi Sydney,
      Regarding K&N there are too many arguments. For Simota, I will believe Joel, till I see the performance actually.
      Can you post some pictures of your big bore?
      Regards,
      Abhijit

              • I guess however with Simota, we may have to change the AFR or rejet the carb just like one does for K&N.. again Joel is the person to contact to resolve this query...


                cheers

                        To be honest i don't know i gave the Filter and ma bike to my regular
                        mechanic he took care of every thing....And i was very pleased with it..people told me the same thing that i will be having a lot of issues with the Bike after installing the Filter but no problem till now... And am very much happy...I installed the K&N Filter right after the 3rd Service was done on my Bike....After the my bike been going to mechanic for services every 2 to 3 months...

                          will be going for 4th service on friday, done 2200 kms on odo,
                          want to put castrol power 1, the one which costs around inr 300, wanna know that is it ss or fs, & also is it advisable for my ride as i've heard that its (ss or fs engine oils) not good for atleast 5000 kms.
                          Plz advice......

                              • wats the scene with the FFE's? anyone got ur's fixed?

                                looks like i'll be going in for the FFE as well. Regarding the top speed with the big bore Joel mentioned that the stock exhaust is a restriction. guess i'm not left wit a choice now.
