Re: K&N Air Filter Queries and Doubts

planning to fit universal air filter which air filter should i choose from
1)cosworth
2)k&n
3)uni
am living in Kerala even though climate condition is moderate there are dust everywhere in cities
my bike is honda cb trigger...
wanted increase sound, a little more power without causing damage to the engine.........

IMO Aftermarket Air Filters are NOT advisable. Even I had a K&N air filter RC1060 on my Honda Dio 2012 but I removed it as it affects the engine negatively in a long run. It cut shorts the life of an engine. After all what's a bike without a proper engine?
Think about it.
Stay Stock.
Happy Biking !! :thumbup:

If filters do more bad than good, I guess there's no point of this thread. Just my opinion after looking at the experiences of others and myself.

I think the K&N model R1100 will fit better on your carb as it has a smaller mouth as compared to a RC1060. Jetting will definitely be needed.

A free flow filter's (FFF)job is to let more air pass through itself while filtering it well. That increases the power output of an engine provided the installer has fitted it right & adjusted the fuel-air ratio correctly. Most bad experiences related to FFFs can be traced back to improper installations, wrong or no jetting & improper cleaning of the filters. This forum intends to clear doubts and misconceptions about FFFs which are the most popular performance upgrades.

Atleast for these questions, you should do some searching by yourself.

Jetting is best left to experts but finding out if your engine is running lean is comparatively easy. If your spark plug electrode is all white like someone coated it with talcum powder then its running lean, not a good sign. Spark plug color charts are easily available online and its a great way to check your engine's health.
Installation of FFFs usually leans out the air-fuel ratio which means there is now more air than required in the ratio. This causes overheating and accelerates engine wear. Jetting is the process of correcting this ratio imbalance and bring it back to ideal. This is done by increasing the amount of fuel going into the mixture.

Well, the topic was just K&N filters, so I said regarding only that. Cause the quality of a K&N filter is way more low than a stock one. Obviously taking out the thread is no solution but again, what I feel us,.people have to be educated first about the effects and later allowed to decide. Not the other way around. Which is happening a lot as I can see.
What a free flow filter is meant to do, even I know bro. I was talkin with regard to K&N only. Not generalizing. If you felt so, then apologies.
By filters, I meant k&n ones. Anyways, cheers!

Re: K&N Air Filter Queries and Doubts

Hello friends.
I own royal enfield C350 2014 model.
I am thinking about fitting my bike with pipercross or BMC air filter.
According to the specifications of AM air filter, performance AF intakes more quantity of pure air as compared to stock air filter.
So, engine will run on good combustion of fuel hence resulting in better power and maintaining the engine on better side.
But, as carburetor will suck more air, appropriate quantity of fuel is to be injected in the cylinder to maintain proper AF ratio.
To be more clear, if my engine is running on 15:1 AF ratio on stock airfilter, then that ratio is to be manipulated with the AM airfilter.
So the question which arises here is rejetting the carburetor will do the work or changing the carburetor settings?
Because both the settings is going to meter the quantity of fuel injected into the engine cylinder.
Please help me guys.
Also better combustion of fuel means better fuel economy, is this true?
I don't expect better FE, but it shouldn't at least alter the present FE.

I don't know about performance gains but I have usually had FE gains when I switched to a FFF, regardless of the brand. I have never had a issue with burnt valves or dirt entering the engine and I have definitely not had a seized engine As [MENTION=6066]sniper[/MENTION] said a FFF which is properly installed and maintained will give you zero issues.

An FFF definitely means an engine that is cleaner cooler and more more fuel efficient
