Air Filters - Universal Thread

^ just make sure it must not suck in water, as you are removing the cover and it monsoon

Yeah keeping that in mind only am retaining the filter box, the cover wont fit cause the Filter would be getting in the way. Direct carb bolt on is the best, but avoiding it cause of the issue's you've mentioned.

guys had gone to install k&n filter to my zmr. But ma mechanic who is one of the best in bangalore told me not to go for it as quality is not so good and suggested cosworth or a simota. I was shocked but l8r he explained. In the kn filter in da material just below the mesh wen observed carefully we find a lot of tiny holes which are provided for better quality sound. In time due to suction of air these holes grow big and fine dust particles enter da cylinder. But wen we saw dat of a simota or cosworth da material was totally different. And better quality. Wen i asked den y is k&n popular he gave a simple logic. It's marketing in india since past many years so brand is popular. But companies lik cosworth and simota have their own value cause dey manufacture utilities for rols royce (spelling error). Since dey recently started marketin here dey are still not famous. And wen i went to most of da shops dealing wit filtr dey all supported wit da fact dat these filters are indeed better dan k&n.. I was shocked but den i went for a simota. Its sound is much better and performance is brilliant. So next time u buy a filter better check quality of material below da mesh.. I would however advice cosworth or simota

Cosworth is the best when it comes to Filtering, cause there are'nt any in necessary holed in the base. And Its not the regular oiled type, its a dry one, which can be washed and re used.

^ all free flow filter allow some amount of dust to be ingested by engine if compared with stock filters. Though I've also heard about the fact, you mentioned. But was not sure as I have not used them.

Hey guys, planning to go for a free flow intake.
Already ordered 140 main jet, and waiting for it to arrive.
Have'nt yet decided on the Filter to use, main contenders are-

1. K&N RC1060
2. Cosworth CWCFBK1001

Planning to fix it inside the stock air filter box with the cover removed. All ideas welcome.

O.T : If you are in gurgaon you can come to Delhi g2gs

Sure thing! I would love to come. A stupid question...Where is it happening now?

[prateek2210]

Thanks Prateek . I see that you don't endorse the use of K&N. Can you tell me, can I return back to stock one if I use the K&N for some time?

Yes you can go back to stock.

Go to karol bagh and you will get loads of shops from where you can get K&N filters, the last I asked it was 1300INR + fitting (Model RC 1060), you need to remove the box to get it installed and you need to upjet the main jet to a slightly bigger size

P.S : Its not worth installing

Guys,
I need help. I want to switch to K&N filter for my Apache RTR 160. Please let me know, how do I get it fit in my bike. Do I have to get my engine re-tuned after the fitting?
I am in Gurgaon, so from where can I buy the K&N filter and what is the cost of it.
Also, suggest if there is any good mechanic, who can do this thingy?

Thanks

Topic Approved & Merged.

Closed Loop Fi system keeps a sensor in the exhaust too, thereby letting the Fi system know of the Air Fuel Ratio and adjusting fuel supply accordingly. So, in one way, its more suitable for air filters but we have to yet find the extent to which Fuel supply can be increased to match the excess air.

In any case, do NOT remove your airbox while installing the filter, and don't make any cutting/ changes to the air filter before installing it.
