  • they can be sourced to india by a k&n dealer(atleast here in hyd),but as someone else said,i was also informed that it was not necessary for daily use,and should be needed in the case of off-roading with very fine dust... and i guess it's not that cheap either..

      • In an automated scooter the sound increase will be less. but u are getting no sound difference? A K & N filter should be fitted directly on the carburettor by removing old air filter for any gain in sound and performance. yours might be fitted inside the airbox. this can be the only reason.

            • How to clean a rc1060 k&n air filter

              Hi I have installed rc1060 k&n air filter on my pulsar 150 dtsi for past 2 months. The acceleration seems pretty well. But the top end and the mileage have gone for a toss after the jetting.

              Now, I have almost covered 3000 kms after I had it installed and so now I need to know how should I clean it.

              I have heard about cleaning it with a solution and oil from k&n. But I searched almost in all major parts of mumbai like Lamington road, Bandra and a few well known mechanics and stores. But nobody keeps the recharge kit for K&n(thats what one of the guy called it when I asked for k&n air filter oil and cleaning solution)

              If anybody knows about it Please send me the details....

                          K&N filter cleaners are expensive (at least for my pocket). Here's how u do it in less than 20 bucks. Take half a bucket of water, mix any detergent sachet, put the k&N filter in it and leave it overnight. Following day, rinse the filter in clear water and expose it under sun to dry. Then buy a 2t oil packet and get hold of a syringe and slowly inject oil all over the filter. It's a tried and tested method and doesn't wrap the filter not one bit

                          One word of caution : do not overuse the oil.

                              IMHO it's a big NO for these airfilters... as a friend posted in the previous page, I also have heard about the small pores that restricts the dust in..but (I am not sure..but pulsars are) I think ZMR has a stock airfilter that is wet..I mean soaked in oil..but the AFs you suggested (Green and K&N) are dry ones. I think that will let in a lean mix.. which again in my very HMO is not much healthy for your ride. Also I guess that time is long gone when people noticed those bikes which has more sound.
