Air Filters - Universal Thread

[Coplay@180]

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.

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.

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.

Avin, I agree with this Hands down,,,.!!!
Its only the sound.... I badly wanna go back to stock, but the attention i get because of the sound is stopping me from it

a small piece of info

you dont need to upjet if you get a bigger filter . we can adjust the air volume screw and that will do the trick ..
there will be no increse or decrease in pickup or top end .. just SOUND

i am so addictive to it .. when i buy a new bike i will change the filter after the run in

[Coplay@180]

BIGGER FILTER???
Wat does that mean Sam??
I use the RC1060 for my Pee180UG3... u mean bigger than that? like the R1100(hope this is rite model) used on Pee200's.
Do u mind explaining how this bigger filter theory works? I'm curious

hold your horses dude .. i mean bigger than the stock ..
that means Rc 1060 or whatever ..


THERE IS NO INCREASE OR DECRESE IN PERFO UNLESS YOU DO SOME MORE SERIOUS MODS

Dude do you really think you can balance the A/F ratio by just rotating the VC screw? it just cannot richen the damn lean mixture formed when free flow intake is used. You have to go for bigger jets. it is compulsory.

Couple it with a free flow exhaust and you will love the change.

sorry bro .. its already done and checked
check out the RTR thread .. people have done it including me

my spark plug was becoming white after the installation of HP filter //
i did some tweaks and turns and its again roasted brown
trust me .. if you want PERFORMANCE then you have to go for bigger jets and a free flow

Well apart from that what sam is saying correct. If only serious mods then go for K&N or any other filter. Besides PiperCross Foam filter is best coz it generally don't need upjetting...If u use PiperCross Stock Replacement

Firstly, I'm planning to help a friend add a new Air Filter to my friends RTR FI.

I've seen carb RTRs fitted with the RC1060 Filter from K&N. And all of them were fixed directly onto the carb. with all the tubing removed.

Nov on a Fuel Injected bike, Where can this be fitted? I Dont want to install it directly onto the engine, due to the air around the engine being warm/hot do to heat produced by the engine.

I was thinking that If there was some place under the side panels, (I'm also guessing the stock air filter goes there, I've never seen the innards of a stock RTR ) Then the K&N FIlters can be placed there and connected with some tubing.

Also, There needs to be some kind of air flow meter for the ECU. Now where will this be found??

Its A FI K&N will not support it it will give multiple lags.......

[devrockz]

I was under the impression that the ECU monitors the volume of Air flowing into the engine, and would adjust the Air-Fuel ratio accordingly.

Since there isnt much power to be gained from a K&N, my friend decided to stay with the stock filter.

how we can know wic size n make of k&n will fit perfect to our bike....

K&N for pulsar 220 dtsi

I have a P220 dtsi which has done 8k km.
Now I want to go for K&N air filter, regarding which I have following queries:

1. Which model of K&N is best suited for my bike?
2. How to make sure that that I am not being sold a local filter wrapped as K&N.
3. What is jetting? and how to get it done?
4. A reliable workshop in delhi where I can get the job done well.


Many thanks in advance

i don't know nothing abt these factors so pls help??
thanks in advance
