K&N Air Filter Queries and Doubts

Re: Which K&n Airfilter is best for P220? R1100 or BA-2201

Hi, there is no Stock Replacement Air filter for the Stunner. the RC1060 fitted directly on the carb is the best option. Needs rejetting though.

Using a K&N Filter provides improved flow of air to engine, and this is possible only when the obstruction to flow is reduced but then they have done so in some of their models by increasing the surface area of suction ......... more over they have also provided details on their web of certain lab test results to prove their filters. You should take a look

thanks mate will look into that..

as for your query about the airfilter for your ride.. you should go to the market and search there.. i looked through the net, but couldn't find the stock-type replacement..

K&N filters allows for more air suction.. but i also heard that with it more dust particles are also sucked.. is this right or any other harmful effect to the engine..?

Hi @sniper , Can you kindly suggest me a model number of K&N Filter or any other reputed aftermarket AF that has a direct fit in the Honda Stunner ............. I mean I intend not to touch my AF Setup/box at all .............. I am only looking for a replacement of my stock Honda filter.

Oh, I thought the stock foam filter is oiled by the company. If it isn't, then there is no need for oiling. the manufacturers know best.

Re: Which K&n Airfilter is best for P220? R1100 or BA-2201

If your stunner comes with a stock foam filter then its advisable for it to be oiled. The dust particles stick to the oil & don't go through the foam pores. If your filter is getting clogged often, that means the AF is doing its job well.

What makes me curious is that the design of the foam mesh is made only by considering the permissible size (in microns) of the dust through it. Putting oil though it will result in further clogging of the AF thus compromising its efficiency over a run of 10 k kms (after which the service center seeks a replacement) !! Even I did not see a point in the manual which says anything like draining oil though AF.

Well, not really. Dusty environments tends to clog the filter earlier than the normal conditions. This makes the engine less breathable and might make the engine run on lean mixture if periodic maintenance is not done for the AF.

Also, AF dont breathe more air into the combustion chamber. Its the capacity of the engine that matters. AF makes sure that, dust free air enters the chamber.

Cheerz!!

True, but then I think the restriction or the mesh of the air filter governs the permissible flow of air going in.

One query (not about a K&N, but my stock AF on Stunner): For the very time when I took my stunner to a mechanic for service outside the authorized service center, he pointed it out to me that the service center guys usually put oil over the air filter which results in choking of the air filter after a run of around 8-10k kms as it is not possible to remove that sticking dust from the AF. He then replaced that AF and kept the new one in place without draining any oil through it as he reasoned that a dry AF can be cleaned of dust. What do you guys say about it ??

Go through it :

K&N Air Filter Facts You Should Know

I'm not saying its gonna ruin the engine.

These air filters delivers more air to the engine so must be inhaling from from the surrounding ?
and in dusty area too. They do provide safety for such conditions but upto certain level.

And dust entry is not good for engine's long life.
The effect is going to be very late / slow.

Engine harm is not fast or on a short term, its a very very slow process.
Like on 20k k.m. you're bike Engine would be like 25-26k k.m. old.

The Dirty air gonna make do slowly slowly.

Re: Which K&n Airfilter is best for P220? R1100 or BA-2201

I have a pulsar 200NS clocked around 5500 ODO.. i want to change the stock air filter with K&N. My query is that in case if i change iot with a stock K7N filter then would there be any chnage in the sound and in mileage? and any harm to the engine?

Hi, there is no Stock Replacement Filter launched for the NS200 yet. The K&N RC1060 conical is best suited to it as of now. Needs Jetting though.

Re: Which K&n Airfilter is best for P220? R1100 or BA-2201

Thank you bro for the reply..

So if i need that vroom vroom sound what should i go for..
And which Stock Air filter do you recommend for pulsar 200Ns?

I don't think any stock replacement Filter is going to give that sound.
You have to get the Universal Filter setting done from some good mechanic.

Try K&N, Simolta or UNI !
