Air Filters - Universal Thread

^^ changed it months back, at some 9k.. My dusty riding environment asks for that.
Thanks anyways..

[Aneesh@4GHz]

honda says to replace it every 15k. I tried cleaning it & got it torn..

Replace air Filter element every 10000kms.

Honda uses paper filter but shown as viscous filter in site. Not meant for cleaning?What do you mean by it?

.
u can directly add the filter to the hose pipe by removing the filter box
or
u can put the filter inside filter box
but u wont get any sound
.
and dont cut the box or so
because sometimes it is difficult to find spares

so better to fix the filter to the hose pipe
and UPjet ur carb

Its wrong,It wont work like jets.

I know but i cannot trust mechanics to do such precision jobs

Making a hole(Square) in the airfilter box will sound like K&N.

Hopefully!
I wanted it to be a duct type (as on the Scorpio hood,but smaller and perpendicular)

[Aneesh@4GHz]

The mechanic told me that,by running the AFR rich,the need for carb up jet will be nullified.

Thanks,will get them installed this week or the next
Do you happen to know anything about the cutting of the air filter housing lid(for the sound)?
If yes,then which shape would you recommend(for max intensity)?

re-jutting is very much needed bro.. Or else you'll end up with overheating & may be other issues. All due to lean AFR.

I think K&N RC1060 will be enough for Dio.
Yes,its retail price is 1890rs.

Which K and N air filter model should I buy and install for My 2010 Dio?
The installation will be done in a few days and will not up jet the carb.

I inquired about the RC 1060 @ a customization shop in the Forum mall(top floor) and he quoted a price of 1800 Rupees...is this price correct and is the model correct??

Isn't it supposed to be of lesser maintenance than the regular air filter?

Yes,but i dont think so.

[sinnerz2000]

Viscous air filter is sponge like filter with oil in it,So it filters air in a very good manner than paper filter.
Like this:


But Viscous filter attracts more dirt so may clog and reduce air flow,so clean it at regular intervals.
