Air Filters - Universal Thread

Hmmm... makes sense to me.....
so what do u advice??? should i go for it?? ( covering the box)

dude i have been through all the mix and matches in this.

without box.
with hole in the box ( sounded nice cause the sounds reverberates nicely within the box.)
and with the box.

and to be honest without K&N is the best.

i have had soo many issues with it because i had not up-jetted it.

See see, thats what I'm talking about.... covering it up to get a different grunt.
So Avin, you mean to say that the airflow will be the same amount? I dont understand how dude. I'm covering the filter box completely. The only air coming is from under the seat. That means mush lesser air than before right?

See dude.. when you put it in the box and without the stock filter. the air pulled in remains pretty much the same because there is still flow from the open end at the seat bottom.

Now a vacuum cant exist . so as the air is pulled in it just gets replaced from everywhere around. but what happens with the stock filter is that it is properly and tightly kept in the box with well oiled foam to keep the dust from getting in. Now the engineers already know the air amount pulled into the engine ( of course they designed it..! ) and the vaccum created by the engine on the down stroke gets filled at a particular rate. with the K&N what happens it is less restrictive than the stock filter. so more air goes in during the down stroke.

yup its fixed decently. but make sure there is no gap between the pipe and the filter joints, cuz if there is air will just go in through there.

putting the cover back on will only defeat your initial purpose intended for the filter. ie the sound will reduce and with that the sense of acceleration . although it will have a low base grunt which i like.

About the airflow.. it will remain the same as long as you dont replace the stock filter.
i have played around with different cuts and methods for different sounds.

Hi guys,
I have another Air filter query.
I have attached two pics of my air filter.
Query on Picture 1:
Is the air filter fixed properly? The filter box had been cut off partially( drawn in Yellow) and the filter plonked in and connected to the hose from the carb.
Query on picture 2:
1. I have colored the cut off portion grey. What will happen if I cover the cut off portion( with some plastic) now and fix the long Rectangular part also. Meaning, what if i cover the air filter box now. i.e, The air will come in only from under the seat.
The air flow is lesser than the existing setup
so,
1. will the sound reduce? and does the carb need to be re-tuned for this AF mixture?
2. Will the jets have to be changed back to stock?
3. Will the air flow be the same as that of the stock foam filter?

please advice and let me know as much as possible.

PS: please excuse the picture quality. That's all what my nokia 5800XM could deliver.

Hi Guys,
I have attached 2 pics of my stock 117.5 jet and the ZMA's 125 sized jet. However, i feel that they look they same in diameter.
Is it just a feeling or do they really have a difference? i am confused.

Could someone explain what the splitfire cables are? The pros and cons? Or in case if it has been discussed already, could I be re-directed to that?


PS: The newer looking jet is the ZMA's jet which my P180UGIII is running on now after the RC1060.

I have posted these questions on another thread related to AIR FILTERS.

ya,any time..but i bet u won't...
and after u change to g power,etc when u give ur bike for servicing,esp in castrol bike zone,don't forget to tell the mech not to touch the plug...

... why this iridium IX is not available for FZ... hmmm... may be it will release soon. and i didn't heard about castrol bike zone... can u tell where can i find... i usually give my bike for servicing in Yamaha service center itself...
