Air Filters - Universal Thread

[Only Amit...]

I had tried it too.



At my place,jets are not available,even no one knows where is the AFR screw, he he,So luckily removed it next week after installation.

I have got the setting right after a lot of experiments.
First the K&N was installed directly on carb in chennai. It gave a lot of starting issues with vibes in the bike.The performance was bad, engine was getting hot even in 20km rides , FE was 40+.The Shell Helix oil disappeared in 1k-1.2k kms(didn't know its a Car oil ).
Then I installed the iridium+splitfire and made the AFR richer, I got nice performance with little less vibes.Was able to touch 140+ on speedo but milege < 25 .I removed the filter afterwards.
I installed it again inside Airbox in a decent garage in B'lore.The AFR was well set and afterwards no issues till the svc guys screwed it again .
Again some experiment started for 50-100 kms before settled again.Will rejet soon and post the reviews.

K &amp; N Filter for TVS APACHE RTR 160 hyperedge

I own TVS APACHE RTR 160 hyperedge, i want to replace the original company stock air filter with K & N RC 1060 universal air filter.

I asked TVS Servicing guy for the same ,but he told me to not to go with K & N filters as it will increase load on engine & also the filter is not compatible with Apache RTR as it does not fit properly in the current airbox.

What should i do...Should i go for K & N Filters or stick etih stock filter.

Pls suggest guys!!!

First of all:Why do you want to go for K&N AirFilter? Do you think there will be a huge power increase? If yes,then you are wrong,even after putting correct jets and other proper adjustments,you may get an increase of 0.3-0.5hp,with a big loose in mileage and 2000+ bucks.So if you are ready to spend 2000+ and sacrifice mileage for just 0.3hp(even it is unnoticable) .so I wont suggest K&N to any one ,and K&N without upjetting will overheat your bikes engine and will make you engine damage soon,So Stick to stock if you are planning to use your engine for longtime.

I had used K&N in my karizma for just 1week and removed it after knowing these facts.

K&amp;n air filter for indian bike

has anyone fitted k&n ?? can someone post some pictures ??

if the k&n filter fit right into ur air box, than what u do is rejet the curb to match air flow, it's simple as that. for fi one ask ur bike dealer if ur bike have o2 sensors if yes u can fit k&n filter' o2 sensors will automatically increase/decrease the rich mixture according to free air flow of k&n filter. if u don't have o2 sensors than don't install k&n filter as this will make more lean mixture and could damage ur engine.. u get what u want? if u want to increase the power than u have to change ur exhaust to free flow one. otherwise 0.3 or 0.4 bhp will increase with decrease of mileage + 2000 bucks...

Looking for the following :

Uni BF-1 12" X 16" X 5/8" 65 PPI Green fine foam(stock replacement)
Uni foam filter wrap 01-1123(To wrap over K&N for better filteration)

Any idea from where I can source them

Dont know about cutting short method,After Fixing K&N and upjetting there will be an increase of only 0.3 to 0.5 max and it will be unnoticeable in most cases.

2)why does the exhaust sound changes after upgrading to K&N airfilter technical reason????

It is a Free Flow Filter,So it allows more air in to the engine and thus more air will be blown out,as the stock exhaust is made for stock filter,which allows less air than K&N,Sound varies,Just my thought...

Installation of K&amp;N filter

I heard that there is this new K&N filter exclusively for Pulsars.
It costs around 2.6K.
I don't mind spending that much of cash but i want to know whether it would be worth the money.
And also will it affect my bike's warranty?
btw there is is this Thak-thak sound coming from my chain.
What could it be?
thank you.

Installing Simota Air filter in my FZ

Hi Guys,


Wanted to install Simota air filters and bigger valves on my FZ.

Are the air filters even available for the FZ ? What valve sizes would i need ?

Will they be an easy DIY, or will need to go to a mechanic.

If I do even manage to find me some, would someone be able to guide me.

I'm in Pune. So any help pointing me in the right direction will be helpful.

I can probably do a DIY video and post it to help other members
