Green Filter for my zma

hey
after almost 10 months of waiting period for my Splitfire spark cable wire and NGK iridium on getting in touch with my zma...
Finally i done it...whooooosh !! what an amazing change...it was really a smiling surprise feeling after riding it...
one thing more missing is the Castrol Power 1 Racing oil i bought with the above two...it should be in my zma pretty soon...

Last thing on my mind for a long time is being in touch with an after market air filter...
at one it was hell down here hearing the sound of the wroom wroom from almost all bikes...say sometimes the splendor, libero, from pulsars to the upper class...

now that all the buzz of filters have gone down...

i am thinking of having the Green Filter for my zma...
is it a good bet than the K&N filter...

and believe me ...i love to be unique...lol

K&n or Green filter

i have used k&n rc1060 on my uni for a very long time and lost it recently..
so came across some green filter which is costing almost the same price..
did a bit of googling and found some rewies saying that green is better than k&n as it has a thicker rubber part which can absorb vibrations better and also more but smaller pores on the surface when compared to k&n so restricting dust better...
all the details abt the green filter r available below...
so confused so as to what filter should be bought...

Pete's Automotive Products Pvt Limited> Main Section > Green Filters > Universal Filters > Green Filter Universal Conical Bike K7.50 50mm I.D, fits unicorn, Karisma, etc







K&N's Universal Air Filters are designed and manufactured for a wide variety of applications including racing vehicles, radio-controlled cars, generators, snowmobiles, tractors, and other applications. Regardless of the angle or offset diameter of the air intake, there is probably a K&N Universal air filter for your equipment. All filters are constructed with ultra-strong molded pliable rubber flanges which absorb vibration and allow for secure attachment and can also be stretched for up to 1/16" (1.5mm) to fit in-between sizes. K&N universal air filters are washable and reusable.

I would like to isntall K&N filter on my FZ16. I would like to know which is a good place in mumbai to get this done. Someone who is good at rejetting. I also want to replace the spark plug with a iridium one.

Hi friend,

I have installed K&N RC1060 airfiler & NGK Iridium Plug on my FZ. I am not feeling much difference in performance and reduced my mileage about 5 kms.

So i won't suggest K&N on FZ....

You can get K&N Filter at 4Seasons, Tardeo opposite to Crossroads there is a mill inside that they have the workshop. Also you can get Pipercross filter at N1 Racings, Prabhadevi in a Gully opposite to Skoda Showroom.

anirudh (xbhp ID :anirude) has got it fitted for R15 from Tardeo who is a distributor for K&N.You can PM him and find out more details.

You could go to Babloo Motors in Vashi.... they stock after market filters like K&N and Pipercross... and also help fit it properly. They also do rejetting work I guess.

The FZ16 comes with a Iridium spark plug factory fitted AFAIK.

OKay,

now first illl say DONT DO it at all,

I myself own a cbz-xtreme (32,000 kms since march 07) at present and its modded with a monoshock and a K&N air filter and running on stock jets. the reason i had to go for K&N is because the mono took up the space where the airbox is located.

problems you'll face with k&n :-
the universal air filter (conical type) which probably you have in mind to fit on your bike makes the mixture too lean with the default carb settings, i used to get 57 kmpl with my cbz-x in stock condition. it went down to 44-48 kmpl after the mod. and yes im still running on stock jets, you wont need to upjet. you have to do trial and error(airscrew on the carb) and get the point where the right mixture is obtained.

and performance isnt even a tad more, hardly noticeable. on the contrary i feel the top end has gone DOWN. its only that the bike's faster in 50-80 kmph region, that's all. nothing fascinating to BLOW your money on.

ALSO voids warranty (though i cared two hoots)

Instead of going in for a K&N better invest in

better tyres such as IRC (2700 for the set) 2.75 section front and 110/80 rear, Much MUCH better than the standard MRF the bike comes with

here's the post in which i mentioned the tyres

and have the alternator coil rewinded and pop in a mico 65w headlight bulb. the stock headlight is pathetic with poor illumination.

hey guys give me advice i want to instal k &n air filter in my bike cbz-xtrem
the bike has done about 12500km now i want some change in my bike

so frnds help me tell me what are the advantage or disadvantage of k&n air filter and how much it cost

At present my bike top speed is 120KM\ph
and telll me where it will fit in the bike in side or out side

take out the entire airbox that'll create space and attach the K&N there......

make sure it's properly housed and belted to the carb.........

simply attaching it won't be helpin you in the performance fronts, you have to make the 'mixture' of the bike on the 'richer' side(more petrol).....
you can try re-jetting the carb also but that should be done by experienced hands.........
but i'll suggest you to play with the fuel mixture only....
it will be tryal and error on the starting till you get ur best 'setting'.....


the said 'disadvantage' will be higher fuel consumption.....
it may result in overheatin of the engine if the mixture is not right.........
