K&N Air Filter Queries and Doubts

[Rahulbarik]

Three bond is whitish grey colored liquid gasket and costs 25/-
saw your "FFE".....I feel sorry for you since you have been taken for a ride..whoever made and welded it had done a sloppy job...a FFE will reduce FE by a small margin , but what you have posted only shows that it is not suited for your engine..The exhaust tube from your bike is large and the FFE is smaller and the welding is very crude.


..there is no smooth flow of exhaust tube lines, then how do you expect smooth flow of hot gases "..
Remove it ASAP and save your engine...

Did your "Tuner" tune your engine for performance.?

yes he did tune the engine for performance...... i am getting a feeling like someone is pulling my bike from behind..... And it feels like the bike is asking for more fuel.... I think i have to remove the ffe. neways i'll sell this bike in december..... will releasing some more fuel help....? I just love the sound of my ffe. Its so calm yet bassy... and regarding that gasket part...i thought it will cost 300-400 bucks. will give it a try.... And try tuning the afr once more... Will have to find the perfect afr... And thnx psr sir.... Will give updates once the mod is done and sir whats that thing above the tube?

go to yamaha spares shop and ask for threebond paste it costs about 30rs (approx) for 15 gms , if you cant find it anywhere go for anabond paste ( white one under no circumstance buy the orange colored one) hope this helps

well thanx and how many tubes will i have to buy....? Only 1?

Try modding the FFE Pipe to fit exactly as the size of the pipe from engine and a good and cleaner welding.

Happy to see that PSR sir is solving so many problems here .

that will depend on how you use it and howmuch you use it to be safe i would recommend buying 2 of them

Do you have K&N..if you have remove and go to stock..check if your mech had upjetted your carb and adjusted AFR to be rich,which will explain poor performance with pathetic FE.

@psr sir

can we remove both the gaskets i mean the bottom one and even the top one ?
can u say me its pros and cons ?
.

i own a dio
i dont know its compression ratio
so can u please say me whether it can be done on my bike ?

no no i removed my k&n long ago....my bike is total stock except for the ffe..... And my carb is not upjetted... Its stock... Do i ask my mech to tune for performance or mileage? I fitted the ffe only for sound.... I need mileage over performance....though i know that it will drop because of the ffe. I thought it will drop by 4-5kmpl but it dropped more than 25kmpl...... And my stock exhaust pipe hole is large but the point where it enters the exhaust is narrow inside the exhaust...though it looks large....

same question here. What if we remove both gaskets?

actually the welding is luking ugly but its actually done quite well.....the weld is strong....

dont be too greedy now , remove only the base gasket , leave the head gasket as it is , there will only be a marginal increase in cr if you remove the head gasket , then also eliminating it brings with it ,its own set of problems , also do adjust the cam chain slack after you do the mod

To be safe only one gasket to be removed...removing both may bring the head and piston too close, and Piston may hit the head causing permanent damage...so not advisable.

no no i removed my k&n long ago....my bike is total stock except for the ffe..... And my carb is not upjetted... Its stock... Do i ask my mech to tune for performance or mileage?

And my stock exhaust pipe hole is large but the point where it enters the exhaust is narrow inside the exhaust...though it looks large....

Fitting the FFE alone cannot cause a drop of 25 kms in FE..your mech had surely done upjetting and carb throttle needle may have been lifted for better pickup...

no no there is nothing done in the carburrator. No upjetting.... M sure about that. Its total stock.... I will try tuning the carb once again... And not only mileage, my performance also dropped... Very very weak midrange nw..... I'll post pics of the mod after its done. Thanks a lot everyone....

@ psr

Sir AFAIK we dont have to upjet for fixing FFE.Joel also told the same.

Oh ! I did not know that, and thanks for the tech information,....then it must be the FFE which is the reason for the drop in mileage of 25 Kms per liter, and poor performance....
