Air Filters - Universal Thread

[ROCKRZ]

Guys Thanks for your suggetions

I have compared both the bikes (K&N filter and stock filter)
My 0-60 performance is surely increased coz i did race with 2 different riders and result of my bike is good.

Bt i have another question ?
Is it really worth to install K&N and doing upjetting
coz evreyone is here saying stick with stock air filters and K&N will not increase noticebale performance.

i just want your opinion...

yup... K&N will do more damage to the bike than the increase in performance.. also, the right jetting takes atleast a couple of months unless it is being done by a experienced person

in one line, K&N will make the bike sound better else, stock rules...

Yep,It allows more dust into engine.

Exactly.

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.

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

Yes,but i dont think so.

@ Aneesh,
which bike's viscous airfilter is shown by you.. zma??
Asking coz Honda's viscous filter is of paper base... And it not recommended for cleaning!!

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 had installed K&N FF Air filter(unknown model,my pal's) on my Dio but changed to stock due pressure from parents.
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??

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 i'll shift to viscous filter, need to change my filter anyways, ma bike's soundin lik k&n at high rpm lol

No,Its pulsar's filter.'

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

I think K&N RC1060 will be enough for Dio.

Yes,its retail price is 1890rs.

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)?

Its wrong,It wont work like jets.

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

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)
